Just as an aside. Last year our neighbour had his broken into in an attempted theft, car written off. Police came round and said 7 others in Kent had been stolen to order in the last few months.

I think the Abarth although fun to drive will be a target for the joy riders. We have a Fiat 500 Hydrid which we tug & it’s ideal for getting about, cheap to run & easy to park in cities etc

Never had one as a tow car but have had the 595 Tourismo and a 695 Anniversario as normal road cars.
Epic little vehicles. Sure, they are badly made, uncomfortable, and there are better things out there for the money but nothing else comes close in my experience for sheer driving pleasure.
The Tourismo is definitely more comfortable than the 695 was, and although only 140 bhp compared to 180, still plenty of power in a Fiat 500
Go on, you know you need one

Great little cars, had two. My Mother commented that the grey one would be nice once it has its top coat 
Only criticism would be the turning circle of the Ark Royal was better than the Abarth.

Finally had my A frame fitted to my little A barth .
Off we went to Derbyshire for the weekend, absolute game changer, We went razzing around and visited different towns ( Buxton and Bakewell) Love the Abarth and the freedom it gives us
