Abarth Carrera GTL

[Porschinelle]

For Steve and Mustang 66
When I saw this blue Abarth on the Fiskens stand I thought it was 1009 the Ruiz Picasso car

I ask confirmation from one of the Fiskens salesman on the stand and was told it was 1012 very recently bought in the US by a famous French cook (name ?) and just repainted French blue
This salesman also told me that this car was not for sale but reasonnable offers will be considered

Hi guys,

1012 was originally silver and remains in the U.S. unless sold recently.

Are you sure that the blue one is 1012 ?

This car is back to France after a long stay in the US

Hello Everyone,

Steve Heinrichs has asked me to post information about the Abarth 356B Carrera GTL above.

We believe it is chassis nr. 1007. Check out this link to Ultimate Car Page to see that a photo which identifies the white car as 1007 at 2013 Spa Classic has the same license nr. RA S2 64. It was originally silver and we believe it stayed in Europe.

Here is a second link that identifies the chassis nr. as 1007. Ultimate Car Page

Regards, Vietta

It doesn't look fully engaged to me but it could be large gaps. I do remember hearing that Porsche was less than impressed with the finish of these of these cars. Gerard had pointed out that this limited production run was shared between three different coach builders so I am sure the quality of the finished cars varied. They were always intended to be race cars so what the hell right?

Insbruck '62

Is the bonnet/hood open or just large gaps?
