Looks amazing IMO!

Pininfarina should make a new Prototype inspired by this - that would be fantastic.

as promised the 1/24 model (by Arii if I remember correctly). It is a very crude model, the engine is greatly oversized as there is an electric engine inside, the interior has also largely sacrified to accomodate two penlight batteries. The decals are probably not original, but I just put them on to make the model more lively.

Thank you Henk4. Very nice model. I dont have this model in my collection but I whant one buy.

thanks, I think I found this one 15 years ago, when it was already very old, so it will be difficult to hold of it.

The Pininfarina Abarth 2000 still exists. It is in the " Gallery Abarth" museum in Japan.

Sadly I can't find a proper picture at the moment.

Hence the Japanese were able to make a model of it, albeit it a rather crude one.

These 60's superwedges just don't do it for me. Admittedly, without concepts like this, the Maser Boomerang, etc, etc, and all their ilk, we couldn't have Stratosesses, Countachessesses, or even Triumph (My God, they've done it to the other side also) TR7s.

Still, revolutionary though it certainly is, this Abarth looks a bit too "Death Race 3,000" for my taste.

But I don' t like mustard either, so what do I know?


By the way, we've got fancy new I-Macs at work with an utterly useless video camera on top of them that stares us reporters right in the face. Apparently, it's there so we can watch our backs. Anyway, here's one of the "toys" that litter my desk. And yes, those little soapy-slidey stickers were a bitch kitten to apply.

Here's some more junk. It's a Rolls-Royce mug apparently once belonging to somebody named Ken. It's one of my little inexplicable treasures.
