(Italy 1964)

Carlo Abarth (1908-79) was one of the most enterprising figures on the sports car scene. He won the world motorcycling championship five times down to 1939 before turning to the desing of racing cars and the manufacture of accessories bearing the scorpion trade mark derived from his sign of the zodiac.

In 1949, he formed the “Abarth & C.” Company (acquired by Fiat Auto in 1971). The 2400 with bodywork by Allemano of Turin is an elaboration of the mechanicals of the Fiat 2300.
The only example belonged to Carlo himself and was built for presentation at the 1964 Genova Motor Show.
