Abarth corse trucks and vans???
« on: July 10, 2003, 02:51:01 pm »
Maybe a strange question,

But I was wondering if someone had any information on the vans and trucks/trailers that "Abarth corse" used during the 1957-1971 period to bring the cars to the racetrack and for the service.
The following links display one of the trucks, but can anyone identify them???? Lancia truck? which type?

I have also seen pictures of small red vans with Abarth written on the sides. Can anyone identify them??? They are larger than the fiat multipla.

Does someone have more pictures and infomation on the abarth trucks and vans?

Abarth corse trucks and vans???

Hello Alex.
This is Manuel in Spain.
Regarding the trucks in the pictures you sent I'm almost sure they are OM trucks (an italian company which was later on bought by Fiat).

I also know Abarth used lots of Fiat 600 Multipla as delivery vans for their exhausts.

On page 196 of the book "Abarth, the man, the machines" there's a picture of other trucks used by Abarth racing team. I think these are FIAT.

Will contact you again if I find anything else.

Best regards from pain,
Manuel de MIGUEL

Manuel,

Thanks! In the meantime I have found out that the truck is a "OM Tigre".
It's a pity that not much information can be found on these trucks on the internet. I was thinking of a scale 1/24 scalemodel with Abarth's on it. But I have to keep on looking.....(Barnini has a 1/43 scalemodel of the Abarth-OM)

Yes I know Multipla's were used as delivery vans, but Abarth also used other vans for the "servizio corse". You can see on of them on the cover of "Abarth, the man, the machines". Do you know what this van could be?
I have also looked at the picture you discribed on page 196. Probably Fiat

Thanks again,  Alex

p.s. Does domeone know if Abarth ever used the Fiat 238 as a "servizio corse"van? I believe "Progetto K" has a 1/43 scale model of it. But was it ever used??
