For those none too clear on what the ‘Abarth’ bit is, Abarth (sounds like Abba) is an Italian racing car-maker founded in Turin in the late 1940s and is a high performance division of the Fiat Group. So in a nutshell, the Abarth 500C is a much sportier performance model of the Fiat 500C. And what better place to test it out than across the glorious topography of the North Yorkshire Moors. With a backdrop reminiscent of a scene from Top Gear, we took our sporty little number in Campovolo Grey on a designated journey across the winding moors, through tiny villages with lazy sheep scattered across the roads (good way to test the brakes out) to the outdoor racetrack at Teesside Autodrome 30 miles away. Our immediate thought on seeing the Abarth 500C was that it looked a bit like the rude boy racer’s version of the Fiat 500C. Probably because its nose is longer, it has a large winged spoiler and twin exhaust, and has the edgy Abarth scorpion etched onto the alloy. But it still manages to ooze the class, sophistication and style that the Fiat model has – it just growls a bit more. Its interior is also much sportier; as soon as we got in, we noticed the square bottomed steering wheel and the racing red and yellow stitching on the driver and passenger seats, which are themselves in bucket seat style to add an even sportier edge to it. Devoid of a gearstick, but in it’s place two flat buttons – D (Drive) and R (Reverse), we set off with trepidation as we tried to get to grips with the paddle gear shift which in itself is fun, playful and sporty. It felt punchier and sturdier than the Fiat 500C, probably because the suspension is much harder, but was easily as comfortable. And it was great fun to drive. I think had Tom been kitted out in racing suit and shoes, he would have believed he was Michael Schumacher, and I, with my road map barking instructions at every corner, felt like his bona fide rally co-pilot. It has that effect on you when you’re in it. Once at Teesside Autodrome, home of motor racing in the NorthEast, Tom was then the proverbial kid in a sweet shop as he took it around the racetrack, lap after lap, until he was finally summoned to 9 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 12:58 Page 10 500 News come in, brakes smoking and the air thick with the smell of burning rubber. Not something I’d want to put our Fiat 500C through, but its sportier, tougher cousin looked right at home (as did it’s driver!) As devoted Fiat 500 fans, with both an original 1965 model and the updated version, we were at first a little nonchalant about the Abarth 500C. But having since had the pleasure of driving it on a number of different terrains, it really is a joyous little adventure of a car. A great performance and great fun to drive, if you can afford the £17,500 price tag, it’s well worthy of joining it’s Fiat 500 friend in the sporty section of the garage. For more information visit: www.fiat.co.uk/500abarth and www.abarthcars.co.uk NB Tom did eventually end up donning racing gear when he was invited to race the Abarth 500C at Silverstone for a charity race in aid of The Bobby Moore Cancer Fund alongside celebrities including Heston Blumenthal and James Martin (photos attached). The car Tom drove was backed by the Richard Hardie dealership in Wallsend, Newcastle, and after the race, each car was to be sold direct to the public – mud, sweat and squashed flies included…! 500 WINS AGAIN ON LIÈGE–BRESCIA–LIÈGE 2010! BELGIUM TO SLOVENIA & ITALY, AND BACK, IN FIAT 500s THERE ARE MANY HISTORIC RALLIES, but Liège–Brescia–Liège is different. It celebrates a unique event held in 1958, when 27 cars under 500cc – including seven Fiat 500s – set out from Liège in Belgium on an epic 2000-mile drive over rough mountain tracks with just 72 hours to complete it, including one (just one) eight-hour break. Only 13 cars made it – including all seven Fiat 500s, which took 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 9th and 13th places. The winner was a brand new 500 Sport, several others were Abarths. 10 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 13:03 Page 11 500 News Today’s event is still only open to small cars – under 1200cc this year, 500–1500cc in 2011, with classes for the smaller capacities so you only compete against similar-size cars. It’s still an endurance event, but spread over 10 days faithfully following that historic 1958 rally route (all tarmac surfaced now, of course). It’s a competitive rally, but only as competitive as you want to make it – you can treat it purely as a relaxed tour of the fabulous roads used by Liège and Alpine rallies of the past, or you can get stuck into detailed navigation and driving challenges to battle for every penalty point. It is run to a unique navigational scoring and special tests formula, applauded by experts and novices alike. It is outstanding value for money, with 11 nights’ accommodation for two in 4–5 star hotels, ALL meals including lunches, underground parking, mechanical back-up, luggage transport, maps, and more included in the £3300 entry fee. It is supported by FIAT (and Michelin, and others). And it is tremendous fun, conquering more than 20 cols (including the Gavia and Stelvio – twice), passing through stunning scenery and visiting six fascinating museums, two castles and enjoying a superb civic reception at Brescia in Piazza Loggia, home of the Mille Miglia and the only stop on the original 1958 Liège–Brescia–Liège. This year’s entry included two Fiat 500s as well as pre-war Morgan three-wheeler, Morris Minors, Reliant Regal, Mini 850 and 998, Citroën 2CV, Ford Anglia, Hillman Imp, Sunbeam Stiletto, Smart Roadster – all joined by the common theme of enjoying a rally that, 52 years ago, took new microcars on an endurance test way Jean and Jenny arrive in the beyond their manufacturers’ legendary Piazza Loggia in design intentions. Brescia (home of the Mille Miglia Appropriately, the Drivers’ troas well as Liège– Brescia–Liège) phy for the best performance to a great Italian welcome on tests this year went to the 11 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 13:04 Page 12 500 News Jean demonstrates his driving skill on the Francorchamps kart circuit test (inside the Spa Grand Prix circuit), while Jenny hangs on!

Rare colour shot from Fiat's archive of the 1958 winning 500 Sport, driven by Arturo Brunetto and Alfredo Frieder 13 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 12:58 Page 14 500 News French/South African-entered Fiat 500 of Jean and Jenny Sirdey; even more appropriate because Jean had participated in the Liège–Sofia–Liège rally (in a Citroën DS) back in 1963. They had quite an adventure: having had their Nice-based 500’s engine rebuilt by a Bergamo, Italy, specialist before the rally, it soon started to give trouble, reluctant to start and apparently losing compression. They decided to leave the rally after day 3, drive to Bergamo and get it rebuilt again. They duly did, only to have the crankshaft break on the way back – transporter to Bergamo and a third rebuild, sleeping in the workshop as all hotels were full. Finally they rejoined the rally at Brescia (end of day 6) – not in the running for an overall result but fortunately all the driving tests were in the first and last two days! The other 500 on this year’s event took a well-deserved award too, the Concours Award: Michael Merkelbach and Jolien Nijs from Belgium brought this immaculate car, fitted with a 650 engine and gearbox that went very well. They had a few problems too; the front tyres wore very quickly so by day 4 they had no tread left, but the organisers spotted a local 500 in a tyre fitters at Auronzo di Cadore that morning and directed Michael there – they adjusted the tracking and fitted two new tyres off the shelf! Later he had electrical problems, which the event mechanic was able to sort out. Next year’s Liège–Brescia–Liège will be on July 15–24, 2011: see Wonderful archive shot from Fiat of the second-placed Abarth 500 in 1958, crewed by Luxembourgers Wagner and Donven 14 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 12:58 Page 15 500 News Michael and Jolien celebrate at the finish www.classicrallypress.co.uk or phone 07711 901811. It would be brilliant to see a team (or two!) of 500s contesting the rally as they did in 1958. Standard and tuned 499cc cars are eligible for the Authentic (mechanically as 1958) category, larger-engined 500s are eligible for the Spirit (post-1958) category. Standard road cars are perfectly suitable for the event, just make sure they’re in good running order. THE SCOTTISH SHOW SEASON – 2010 I BECAME THE PROUD OWNER OF MY 1965 Fiat 500 F in October last year. I was very keen to be able to start using it at the start of the summer 2010. Luckily the car didn’t have any major restoration work to be done to it, there was no panels or welding required. However as it 15 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 12:58 Page 16 500 News had been sitting for the last 15–20 years in a garage the paint had faded quite a bit, so I decided to strip the car back to a bare shell and have it repainted with the original Fiat colour, “Sand Tan”. My intention for the car was to use it at weekends going out for drives in it and also taking it to some classic car shows in Scotland. So I was very excited to be able to have my car ready for the start of the Scottish car show season at the beginning of May. It was my first year of going to shows with my own car, my 1965 Fiat 500 F. Previously I had always gone as a passenger with my partner Derek in his Mk1 Ford Cortina, so I was very excited to be getting to take my wee Fiat along to some classic car shows. The first big event of the year was at Bridge of Allan, near Stirling. It is run each year by the Stirling and District Car Club, which they help to raise funds for local charities. It is always well attended with individual entrants and car clubs. I only live about 11 miles from the venue, so it was a good first outing with the car, not too far to go. The car was very well received by the public and other car enthusiasts, as the Fiat 500 is very rare in Scotland and to see one at a show. I was very surprised at the end of the day to be told I had won runner up to best car in show. It was a perfect ending to my first outing! Next on the calendar was my car’s first long trip, to Lauder in the Scottish Borders for the Historic Motoring Extravaganza held at Thirlestane Castle. The number of miles I did that day was about 120 in total. I was a bit nervous about how reliable the car would be but there were no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately the weather was terrible and it rained the whole day, but again there was a large attendance of classic vehicles from all over Scotland and the north of England. Again I was very surprised to be given a 1st in my class of vehicles. The next show, at the end of June and again quite local to me, was in Dunfermline, Fife and was run by the Fife Historic Vehicle Club. I always enjoyed going along to the show as it is based at the vintage bus museum, so you not only get to admire all the lovely classic vehicles but also can visit the museum and even ride on a stagecoach pulled by real horses. We had a really nice hot day for this show, which meant there were lots of people around admiring all the vehicles. My car was the only Fiat 500 there, and the class of vehicles I was in ranged from 1960–1980. There were lots of lovely looking cars in my class, so I was shocked to learn that I won 1st place in my class. I had a really nice day at Dunfermline especially as my family and friends came along, so you can imagine how noisy it was when I was presented with my trophy!!!! Next on the calendar was the biggest event on the show calendar in Scotland, the Scottish Transport Extravaganza run by the 16 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 12:58 Page 17 500 News Strathmore Vintage Vehicle Club, which is held at Glamis Castle. It is a really beautiful setting and I was really excited about taking my car there. This was the longest trip I have done so far in the 500, with 160-mile round trip. We set off on the Friday night, as we were attending the show on both Saturday and Sunday. I had a lovely drive up to Glamis in the car, it was a wonderful sunny evening with not a lot of traffic on the road, really excellent driving conditions. We had decided to camp the whole weekend along with other classic car owners, so there was a good atmosphere in the campsite. Unfortunately on the Saturday we awoke to pouring rain, and it stayed for the full day. Luckily my car was parked under a very large tree on the show field so I could shelter underneath it to keep “semi” dry. After the Saturday event the campsite was very muddy, which meant we had a lot of cleaning to do in preparation for Sunday’s judging. On Sunday it stopped raining and was dry for most of the day. My car was entered in its class and I had also been entered into the Ladies Concours, which meant my car would be judged twice. I got 2nd in my class, but I won the best ladies concours car, and was presented with a trophy that took up the whole front passenger footwell!!!! 17 fiat1010.qxd 08/11/2010 12:58 Page 18 500 News Into August, was the Scottish Italian Car & Bike show at Hopetoun House near Edinburgh. It was a beautiful hot and sunny day, and the cars and bikes were all looking stunning in the glorious sunshine. Unfortunately no prizes today, but I did enjoy meeting up with some other Fiat 500 owners who had also brought along their cars to the event. Last weekend I attended another local classic car show held at Ladybank in Fife. It was another dry day which was a bonus. I had entered the car into the 1960s car class and the best female entrant. For the best female class, all the ladies had to drive round the ring in front of the judges. There were a lot of nicely presented vehicles so I was surprised to be announced the winner, I also went on to to get 2nd place in the 1960s vehicles. The show season is nearly drawing to a close in Scotland with only a handful of shows in September. I think one of the best things about having a Fiat 500 is the reaction on peoples faces when they see the car – they start smiling, its great!!!! I have really enjoyed my first summer with my 500, it is a great wee car to drive and I love being out in it.
