Long before moving under Volkswagen Group's roof,
Seat was allowed to produce their own version of the Fiat 600, a city car whose
roots spread to the modern-day 500. Baptized
the Seat 600, it recently turned 60, so the Spanish automaker celebrated its
birthday by restoring a Convertible.
However, there's a big gap between the stock model
and this track-ready machine, which was converted into an Abarth back in 2003,
using only original Scorpion-badged parts. Among the things changed are its
exterior, exhaust, and carburetor.
It also had its power increased, to 69 PS,
which might not be impressive at all, but combined with the stripped out
interior, fitted with bucket seats, and roll cage, in addition to other mods,
have transformed it into a TCR racer. Its racing days are over, but the car
remains in a solid state, and with only 7,740 km on the odo, it
really is almost brand new.
The good news is that if you favor it so much, then
you could buy it, straight from VOS, which are asking for € 17,900 (US$ 21,435) to
let it go.
