Photo Gallery «"My cars are not tortured" - about the patriarch Carlo Abarth and his racing team»

Name: Abarth 1300 OT 1967
Brand: Abarth

Carlo Abarth was one of the most dazzling personalities in motor racing in the fifties and sixties. His racing cars dominated their classes and his sports cars were also among the front runners. However, Commendatore Abarth was not an easy-going person, a fact that was felt by both drivers and reporters. Rainer Braun summarizes many anecdotes about the resourceful engineer and illustrates them with pictures from the time.
