Production and Rarity

Produced in limited numbers between 1972 and 1975, the Fiat Abarth 124 Rally was built to meet the homologation requirements for Group 4 rally competition. Compared with many contemporary sports cars, production numbers were relatively low, making surviving examples highly desirable among collectors worldwide.

The model played a significant role in Abarth’s rally history during the 1970s, achieving numerous successes in European and international competitions.

Today, examples retaining original documents, complete historic certifications and their first registration plates are particularly rare and extremely sought after.
