• One of only 39 UK models and one of 133 worldwide
• Just one former

One of just 133 examples produced worldwide and stated to be one of only 39 UK models, this Abarth 695 Biposto Record combines genuine rarity with a distinctly competition-inspired specification. Introduced to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Carlo Abarth's 1965 acceleration records at Monza, its production total reflected the 133 records achieved by the marque. The Record took the already focused two-seat Biposto and added exclusive Modena Yellow paintwork, contrasting Tar Cold Grey detailing, enamelled '695 Record' badges and an individually numbered plaque. An aluminium bonnet, 18 inch OZ alloy wheels, Brembo brakes and an Akrapovic exhaust further distinguished a model priced at £36,610 when announced for the British market.

Power comes from a 1,368cc turbocharged T-Jet four-cylinder engine producing 190hp and 250Nm of torque. Combined with a factory-quoted weight of just 997kg, this delivered a claimed 0-62mph time of 5.9 seconds and a maximum speed of 143mph. A conventional synchromesh manual gearbox and mechanical limited-slip differential complete a drivetrain developed with driver involvement firmly in mind. The purposeful cabin follows the model's weight-saving brief, with two seats and no rear bench. Factory specification included Sabelt carbon-shell seats, a titanium rear brace and a dedicated '695 Record' instrument display. These details give the Biposto a character considerably removed from the everyday Fiat 500 on which it is based, while retaining its compact proportions and recognisable Italian styling.

First registered on 29th July 2016, this example is presented in the Record's signature yellow with a black interior and displays 33,073 miles. Offered from private ownership, it records just one former keeper and benefits from a comprehensive service history, including all supporting service and maintenance bills. The vendor confirms that the car has just been serviced and has a fresh MoT test certificate, while an Abarth Classiche Certificato di Origine accompanies the extensive history file.

With its limited production and specialist equipment, the Record is an especially scarce derivative of the modern Abarth. Its distinctive presentation, focused mechanical specification and documented maintenance make this example an appealing proposition for an enthusiast seeking a performance hatchback with genuine individuality.
