Nice to see an Abarth. and I was at Sandown back in the 1960s! I've had a Fiat 600, 850, 850 Coupe and a 124 - seemed to have head gasket problems quite often - but I was a young man then, and pushed them rather hard! Now I've got a 2019 Abarth 595, it's great! Greetings from Sweden.

Hi John, thank you for your message. The 850 (1049cc) is great fun to drive, and so far, reliable !. I also have a 2011 Abarth 500 SS as my everyday car, and have a permanent smile when driving it…👍

Thanks Alastair ! 👍

What engine does she have? If original, what mods have been done? She's a real beaut!

[@Tony-pr7te]

Thanks Jerome !. There is a big list of mods, however, the main ones on this 1969 850 Sport Coupe are the modified Abarth 1049 cc motor, rear disc brakes, driveshafts with outer uni joints, modified and lowered suspension, and a redesigned front end to cater for the front mounted radiator, with a deliberate nod to the OT 2000 Coupe series 1 from the mid 1960’s.👍

@Tony-pr7te thanks for your reply Tony. I'm considering buying a 69 Coupe here in South Africa. Yours is inspirational.
