Having owned this special car for a couple of years I thought I'd offer it first to enthusiast, ie the Abarthisti.

Extremely rare road legal 1 of only 13 Abarth 500, this being number 3. These 13 Abarth 500's were built by Abarth for the 2010 BSM centenary celebrity challenge held at the Silverstone Classic, there were thought to be 16 in total but then only in fact being 13 made, each one being driven by a celebrity to raise money for a cancer charity. This actual one being driven by Heston Blumenthal. Google

All 13 of these Abarths consisted of the Esseesse performance upgrade kit which includes 17" lightweight alloy wheels. The cars also included the Abarth Monza exhaust which with the Esseesse kit increase the bhp from 135 to 165bhp. Abarth Corse seats by Sabelt with harnesses, bespoke removable safety cage built by Custom cages in compliance with MSA requirements. It also has the Blue & Me Bluetooth telephone connectivity plus the usual Abarth features.

Also included in the sale is provenance for the car.

39k miles. Starter motor squeaks on start up but works fine.
