BECCARIS BODY, ORIGINAL ABARTH 5 SPEED GEARBOX

As can be seen from the documents, this splendid Abarth 1000 Bialbero was registered in Syracuse(Sicily) on 11 September 1962.

It is equipped with extensive historical documentation that certifies its authenticity.

It is the first model not made by Carrozzeria Zagato but directly by Abarth using the Beccaris Coachbuilder in Turin.

It is fitted with the 1000 Bialbero engine with horizontal carburetors and the original Abarth 5-speed gearbox.

The first owner Sebastiano Andolina bought the car directly from Abarth & C spa in Turin at the price indicated on the deed of 2,835,000 lire.

He participated in the race with the car:

• “Catania-Etna” 1962 of which there are photographs of the time.

After a few months, January 14, 1963 it was sold to Francesco Patanè of Caltanissetta who used it in various local competitions including:

• “3 Night Hours of Syracuse” 1963 (1st overall),
• “Termini-Caccamo” 1965,
• “Trapani-Monte Erice” 1965 (of which there are photographs of the time),
• “3 Night Hours of Syracuse 1966 (1st overall),
• the 1966 “Coppa Nissena”

On 23 September 1967 the property passed to Carmelo Alescio di Gela.

On April 22, 1978 the new owner, Frosini Carlo di Roma, bought the car and due to the regulations in force, in order to change the province he had to replace the registration plate with the one currently present on the car.
