Description
This 2020 Abarth 595 Pista 70th Anniversary is a characterful performance version of the beloved Fiat 500, presented with a vibrant two-tone blue / yellow colour scheme and with low mileage. Under the bonnet sits the 165bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine, coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. The odometer currently indicates 34500 miles.
An exciting special edition hot hatch, the 595 Pista features an upgraded turbocharger, which allows the driver to access the car's 170lb-ft of torque lower down the rev range at just 2,250rpm. The Pista also boasts Koni rear suspension with Frequency Selective Damping, an Abarth braking system, and the riotous Record Monza active exhaust.
The car's bodywork is all in good shape and the condition of the two-tone Metallic Podium Blue and yellow finish is very good for its age and mileage. Some minor scratches but hardly noticeable, and no dents or significant stone chips.
The car features distinctive 595 70th Anniversary badging, while it rides on a set of very good 17-inch matt black multi-spoke alloy wheels with yellow centre cap and Pirelli PZero tyres (with plenty of life still in them!)
Inside, the Black Quilted Cloth upholstery is in good condition, the interior as a whole is in very good condition. The only issue is the drivers side seat lever/catch has broken and needs to be repaired (not an expensive fix and was planning to do it at the next service).
The cabin is equipped with a seven-inch infotainment display with Bluetooth and USB connection with apple car play, which is free of any unsightly scratches. The dashboard trim and main contact points present very well. All of the switchgear is work as it should, and there are no electrical faults.
This vehicle has a full main dealer Abarth service history and has been serviced annually, with the last service done Feb 2025. Car MOT at the same time. Cambelt and water pump were changed in June 2024.
Accompanying the vehicle are all of the original handbooks, owner's documents and service receipts. Tyre repair kit, locking wheel nut and spare fuel filler cap all included.
This Abarth 595 Pista 70th Anniversary is a rare sought-after hot hatch, with a characterful turbocharged engine, Koni suspension and the entertaining Record Monza exhaust. Presented with low mileage and in good condition throughout, this 595 Pista is a car that puts a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel.
