1962 Fiat Abarth 1000 TC Berlina

1280038roadItaly

The Fiat-Abarth 1000TC Berlina is one of the most celebrated small-displacement competition saloons of the 1960s, derived from the Fiat 600D platform and prepared for road racing and circuit use in the 1000cc Touring Car class. This left-hand-drive, UK-registered example is powered by a 982cc OHV four-cylinder engine producing 68bhp, mated to a five-speed close-ratio gearbox and equipped with four-wheel disc brakes. Reported to have covered fewer than 27,000km from new across just four owners, it is said to remain largely original and unrestored.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
