Abarth UK uploaded a multi-part vid to youtube.  Something about stealing plans for a project 348 from Torino and bringing the back to the UK.  Could just be a marketing campaign for the existing models or an eloborate way to show facelift or 124 plans, who knows.

UK plates and RHD, homage to the film or something else?

I saw a yellow Record today at the Slough dealer, what a beautiful colour it is!
But £36k for a "naked" car (no xenons, AC or stereo), one must be mad, there are so many other cars to buy for that money!
Abarth marketing will be laughing, taking things off the car and charging more, ha!

^Indeed.
The dealer said it is a Record, not a Biposto, it has manual gearbox.
if I had £36k to spare in a new car I wouldn't look at an Abarth.

That video is cr*p

lame / dull driving,

that bit  'now we know what there up to' sounded stupid too.


Sorry, maybe im being a grump, or missing somthing..

Needed a bit more action but the 124 is going to look terrific if the car looks as good in the metal as the design drawing suggests!

I cant disagree, however others have made budget adverts more exciting.

I think the scope of a car chase being on public roads was the problem, had it been on a closed course then they could have gone wild, I'm sure even big budget films like James Bond's Spectre wanted to flip a car in Rome and Italy flat out refused (not seen the film but think they used a few sets to get around some restriction), but then remember the original GT86 adverts where the virtual guy was drifting about on a virtual road? That had to be banned because a couple of people suggested it condoned dangerous driving.....  it wasn't even real, lol. This was one of my favourite adverts.

This has to be one of my favorite...

Ha ha yes, like that as well, without wanting to go more off topic (my bad) did you see the R8 giving birth to the RS3? so amazingly creepy, ha ha ha!
