1959 FIAT-ABARTH Berlina 750 Derivazione

Authentic Berlina Derivaziones are a real scarcity, and few if any are as properly built and prepped as the auction example. The car is sold with a letter of authenticity from noted Abarth expert Dr. Steven Knee, a fresh engine, and many rare and valuable original Abarth items. In the present ownership it has received new Michelin XZX tires, reported various uninvoiced mechanical service, and current safety equipment including rollbar padding and five-point seatbelts. The seller reports that the car has been raced at Lime Rock Park—where it was driven to and from the track for the events—as well as shown at The Bridge.

Derivazione chassis were not stamped with unique Abarth serial numbers like later TC series cars, and this is why the included letter of authenticity is so valuable. The car is said to retain many desirable and hard-to-find Abarth parts, including wheels, badging, Jaeger tachometer, and various hardware for the mounting of factory optional, track-focused upgrades such as an auxiliary radiator and engine lid props.

Restored by Reborn Racers in 2001, the car still presents beautifully with accurate detailing, complete trim, and an outstanding, race-bred stance.

During restoration, brakes were upgraded and suspension was lowered over new Konis. A fresh 903 cc Fiat engine was fitted in 2017, and the car is reportedly in a sorted, ready-to-drive state.

The car has spent time racing in the Pacific Northwest with the HMSA and East with the VSCCA, and sale includes a Vintage Sports Car Club of America (VSCCA) logbook.

Early Abarths are very special machines regardless of their history, but this one’s extraordinary condition, high degree of completeness, race-readiness, and marque expert certification make it a true standout.

Estimated $27,000 - $32,000.
