Carlo Abarth was a performance tuning maestro. He created and modified the small displacement Italian cars of the times, adding his own tuned exhausts, cylinder heads and other components. The results were championship-winning racers and street cars. The Abarth Buyer's Guide tells the story of all the Abarth cars, including the earliest Cisitalias, Fiats, Simcas, the Zagato and Bialbero cars, Porsche Abarth Carrera, Lancias, formula cars, record-setters and the sports racers. The book is built on an impressive archive of historical photographs, many of them rare original Abarth factory pictures. The detailed text chronicles the development history of Abarth, including specifications, restoration and authenticity notes, and the Buyer's Guide star investment ratings. Author Peter Vack is an Abarth enthusiast of long standing, and he writes of the cars with passion and experience. Over a period of 13 years, the Abarth Buyer's Guide has proven to be a very dependable and useful book for those interested in Abarth cars. Now in its third printing, it remains one of the best and most comprehensive Abarth books ever written. Of that we are proud. We hope that it will continue to encourage others to do further research and create enthusiasm for the restoration of all Abarths.

It's pretty comprehensive & is one of the few books ever that chronicles most all of the unique brand's cars.

3.0 out of 5 stars Abarth - heiße Fiat und andere
Reviewed in Germany on January 4, 2007
Verified Purchase
Dieses dünne Werk ist von einem amerikanischen Autor verfasst, was im ersten Moment verwundert, da Abarth eine eher kleine italienische Firma war. Tatsächlich ist jedoch ein nicht unerheblicher Anteil der kleinen Sportwagen in die USA exportiert worden. Positiv an diesem Buch ist die kompakt und übersichtlich dargestellte Modellhistorie der Strassenfahrzeuge. Die oft etwas verworrene Modellpolitik wird hier durchaus verständlich gemacht unf ermöglicht einen Einstieg in die Materie. Die Qualität der Fotos ist allerdings unzureichend - das sieht nach wildem Zusammenkopieren aus. Weiterhin fehlt meiner Meinung nach ein Anhang mit der tabellarischen Auflistung der wichtigsten Modelle zum Nachschlagen. Der Name "Buyer's Guide" lässt eine detaillierte Analyse der Stärken und Schwächen der einzelnen Modelle erwarten, aber auch diese Erwartung wird enttäuscht: Außer wagen und allgemeinen Tipps & Hinweisen finden sich keine wirkliche Kaufhilfen in diesem Buch. Da Abarth-Lektüre nicht weit verbreitet ist und zum Einstieg diese Lektüre durchaus empfehlenswert ist vergebe ich drei Sterne.
