Not mine, but maybe I should buy as an investment? But is it genuine or a replica?

This has replica written all over it.

Interesting 13k miles went missing between MOTs. Maybe a dash swap when the conversion was done?

The words "Introducing our tribute to one of Abarth's craziest concoctions. The X1/9 Abarth Prototipo" seem to give the game away.

Almost certainly a replica.

Yes indeed, I skim read the ad a little too fast. Interesting proposition though!

Hmm, appears to have sold when advertised earlier for £30k

Could be a FAZA creation maybe ??

(although I expect they would all have been LHD)

Its a replica - I saw it when Targa Florio were selling it. A very good replica but a replica all the same. Had alot of money spent on it though. I don't think I've ever seen a genuine Abarth Icsunonove up for sale. There were only ever about 10 genuine ones ever built...

Here's a Norwegian built one in action.
