General four Abarths at Thames Fiat Slough

[RobW]

Just been to have a close look and sit in one of them that is in the Abarth showroom

not sure about the Grey, looks special in Funk White
going back to see the black one when it is unwrapped

suprised at the ride height, but then mine is rather low...

pics to follow tomorrow!

Might go for a look at our local dealer... never got to sit in the one in Paris, too many others doing that!

Rockingham Fiat have four Abarths too, my Dad had a test drive was awesome!:slayer:

Is that Westover for you? Have they got them in yet?

 

[Nuova500]

Yeah, in Poole where they sell the Lotus too... no idea if they are in yet.

That's where I got my GPA from. I need to give them a call tomorrow, (blue&me problems :bang. I'll find out and try to blag one if they need my car in for a morning.

Youll be lucky! I bet they have some 1.2 Pops in for loaners

You wouldn't believe me if I told you what they gave me last time.

Oooh, did it leak

Anyone know if Research have got any in yet? I've got a few days off so I might go have a gander...

Don't know, it was dry when they lent it to me. Elise's do though and that's what it is based on.

They are holding an open weekend on 7 and 8 February. They said it will be £13600 OTR plus options. I have had an invite to it and to test drive 500 Abarth, so I will be going on either day.

Martin Taylor, Research Abarth sales specialist is your point of contact for any Abarth enquiries.

Thanks! Should I be getting an invite since I got my 500 from them? I know what'll happen if I do go, I'll end up wanting one even more than I already do.

Well, I think you better get in touch with them. After all, Abarth wants to be separate from Fiat so they shouldn't be sharing details on their database "Abarth is a separate company from the parent company Fiat" and they are in separate showrooms...

There is no harm in calling them.

I know I want one, so I'll make an excuse to 'forget' my credit card and chequebook on that weekend! But the bottom line is I will get one, but it's a question of 'if' and 'when'

Looks very posh in funk white, cheers for the pics.

 

[sikersh]

Can it be de-striped? Less chavvy.
