1984 FIAT STRADA ABARTH 130TC

Allow me to briefly explain the history, features and modifications to this Fiat Strada Abarth 130TC hot hatch imported into Malaysia in 1987, highlighting its unique qualities up to its current status.

* Rare classic hot hatch: The Fiat Strada Abarth 130TC is a classic hot hatch from the 1980s, imported from the UK in 1987 and is rare in this region.
* Performance and engineering: It features a standard two-litre twin-cam engine with two twin side draft carburettors producing 130bhp, a lightweight 950kg chassis and built by robots with a close-ratio five-speed ZF gearbox, delivering strong performance and a distinctive induction roar.
* Ownership and modifications: I acquired it as I appreciate its superior power-to-weight ratio. It has been upgraded to a 175 bhp engine conversion with steel billet cams, lightened flywheel, gas-flowed cylinder heads, two twin side draft 45 Dellortto carburettors, a 4 to 1 extractor system and an additional oil cooler kit all undertaken by Elaborazione Colasuono in London
* Maintenance and recent restoration: The vehicle have been further equipped with hydraulic power steering and an additional brake servo in order to effortlessly enjoy this classic performance machine. Finally, it has a fresh coat of Ppg Silverblue.
