Top car. Sold one on ebay a year ago. D plate black one. Belonged to a mate. I only drove it around the yard, but sounded awesome. The induction roar..... mmmmm. Strada Abarths give a whole new meaning to Bucket seats. Need climbing boots to get out of 'em.!!  |

A friend of mine had 1 of these a few years ago..the car fell to pieces tbh, but the engine was fantastic and it went like greased weasel sh!t!! Fabulous fun!. I think the reason it fell to pieces was cos it was thrashed every time it was used tho, irresistible fun! ;D

Black 130 tc my favorite colour . I live in ilford in essex . If you ever get a chance to drive a 130 tc take it you will not be dissapointed .Even the most die hard ford fan was impressed . Instant trottle responce go kart handling and the car feels planted to the road . Only weights 2095 lbs so has excellent power to weight .

I suppose one place in Essex looks much the same as another once they put those frigging fences up.
Anyway, your car rocks, end of story

Great car mate.Allways liked the strada abarths.Especially the mk1 with the single headlights. I spy an orange 131 sport parked next to it too. I wonder if it's my old one by any chance? ;D ;D |

My retro ride a 1985 fiat strada abarth 130 tc . Had a look at this car 2 months ago and the person selling it wanted too much money for it so i made an offer and two weeks later picked up the car . I had a quick look at the body in a dark garage and it was fine . If i did not buy it i would be kicking myself in a few years as these are very rare now . I also have another 1988 e reg one with low miles . So this one will be used for sprinting . When i got the car back home it turnrd out to be a bit of a find because i was more interested in the body work ? Here is the spec: Strut brace , full yellow koni ajustables all round . lowered front springs and decambered rear leaf, sparco racing seat , roll gage , fully ported and gasflowed head , alquati hi-lift cams , webbers instead of standard solexs only 72000 miles solid rust free body , 1 owner since new and its been off the road for the last 13 years . Engine was siezed but is now free and the car will get a full service and mot . The engine produces about 155bhp . 
any chanch of some front pics? ;D
