I m sure in years to come, with only 10 made it ll be a collectors item..... I think its the worst abarth i ve seen without a shadow of a doubt.... those alloys are foul, and the black stripes IMHO are not on.

However, the 500 is one of those cars that can get away with mostly anything, and I ll happily enjoy every one that I see.....and continue to wonder why the launch edition never came numbered as the italian market did?
Launch edition, bosa nova white, red leather blah blah blah

The Italian market launch editions were 'real' ones; i.e. numbered and with 160bhp and a different steering wheel etc.

The UK launch editions were a marketing 'ploy' and fixed spec so that they could get them out of the factory faster.
