I have had to come back to this after finding it earlier this morning. It is a valuable cultural document & shows a Melbourne unknown to most people. Great little film.
What awesome car...Personally I own a Fiat 850 coupe (1965) powered by the 843cc unit engine(47hp), but I did little modifications such as sport air filter and fuel pump.
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Sports Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and Fi injectors clean as new!
Over several years this has been one of my favourite videos on you tube. I have owned 2 fiat 850s both with 903cc kit - a red one and a white one. Loved every minute of owning them. The sound you get from the Abarth is gold. Thanks for making and posting this video.

API TC Oil is also fine replacement for all those expensive lead and internal engine cleaning addtives. Bosch says that.
The engine gearbox setup is the same except it has 1000cc Abarth parts fitted.I have all the parts and complete motors.I built up the exact setup for a Lombardi in Qld and it flies.I can also supply you with a similar motor.Its all period correct according to the Abarth specs.
Thanks,greetings back from Amsterdam.Version 2 will be filmed in Amsterdam,maybe the Niuewe Spiegel Straat which has a nice 'Y'ump.(I am sure i will only have 1 shot at it though).
Great to see an Abarth in Oz. Now if I can only find one for sale in Qld.... what are they worth?

I am injection and weber carb specialist in Germany
located in Stuttgart. Older cars need some additional protection against
the E10 fuel and E5 fuel these fuels contain aggressive ethanols and
this causes fuel system corrosion and engine wear. A good two stroke oil
contains ceratin additives to preventing these aggressive radical chemistry in modern fuel. I wish you some fun with your nice vintage car!
