Stellantis Heritage takes part in “Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2021”


  • The biggest Italian motor show in the industry is underway, for enthusiasts and collectors to relive the past of the world of engines and admire the latest models from the most famous automakers.
  • Playing a major role will be the Stellantis #heritage department, established in 2015 with its main task to retrieve, protect and enhance the tremendous historical #heritage of the #abarth, #alfaromeo, #fiat and Lancia brands.
  • Unveiled for the first time at a motor show is the style model of the #abarth 1000 Sport Prototipo, created in 2009 as a direct successor to the iconic 1966 #fiat #abarth 1000 SP, the model favored by individual drivers at the time.
  • “Back to the Future” with the 1974 #fiat X1/23 prototype, the first electric city car prototype ever, and the unprecedented New (500)RED, unveiled last month on the roof of the Lingotto complex in Turin. Bringing them together, 50 years of #fiat piloting of electric vehicles, aimed at an innovative, sustainable urban mobility.
  • The spotlight is on three vintage cars – the 1960 #alfaromeo Giulietta Spider Veloce, the 1964 Fiat-Abarth 850 TC, and the 1991 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione – restored to their former glory by the experts at the Officine Classiche, the #heritage department’s restoration and certification workshop. 
  • The exhibition is rounded off with the exclusive #abarth 595 Competizione, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the initials ‘TC’ (Turismo Competizione) that made their debut in 1961 on the Fiat-Abarth 850 TC.
  • Visitors to the stand can also admire a selection of products from the “Heritage Parts” line, a joint project between #heritage and Mopar® that offers a selection of original spare parts for vintage cars. Specifically on display will be the bumpers and steel panels available for the Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione. 

From October 21st to 24th, the 2021 edition of “Auto e Moto d’Epoca” will be taking place at Fiera di #padova. The biggest #event in Italy for classic motoring enthusiasts, it boasts 115,000 m2 of exhibition space, over 5,000 vintage cars and more than 1,600 exhibitors. The motor show in the Veneto region is also the largest market in Europe for the sales of vintage cars and motorcycles, original spare parts and automobilia collectibles.

One of the big names at the #event will be the Stellantis #heritage department. Since 2015, its main task has been to retrieve, protect and enhance the tremendous historical #heritage of the #alfaromeo, #fiat, Lancia and #abarth brands, specifically in terms of the fleet of the more than 600 vintage cars that it owns. Direct from its priceless collection come three of the five classic models on display: the #fiat X1/23 prototype, the first electric city car prototype ever; the style model of the #abarth 1000 SP, a contemporary interpretation of the iconic 1966 Sport Prototipo; and the Fiat-Abarth 850 TC, the first #abarth to take on the initials that stand for Turismo Competizione.

Curiosity abounds over the juxtaposition of the 1974 #fiat X1/23 prototype and the New (500)RED: the iconic 500, electric and electric alone, created as a result of the collaboration between #fiat and (RED). Aimed at disseminating the shared message of care for the environment, for the planet and for its people, it was unveiled a few weeks ago at an exclusive #event on the roof of the Lingotto complex in Turin. The evocative pairing of these two models – both with a red livery – is a true representation of “back to the future”, recalling 50 years of #fiat piloting of electric vehicles, specifically designed to promote electric mobility. After all, #fiat has always been at the forefront of world research into innovative and sustainable solutions.

Also in the spotlight are two classic cars owned by private collectors – a 1991 Lancia Delta HF Integrale Evoluzione and a 1960 #alfaromeo Giulietta Spider Veloce. Just like the Fiat-Abarth 850 TC mentioned above, these two models have been meticulously restored by the experts at the Officine Classiche, the restoration and certification workshop at the Stellantis #heritage department. Work was done on the cars in their entirety, from the body and interiors to the mechanics and instruments, taking advantage of synergies with a wide range of technical departments at the Mirafiori plant.

Alongside the Delta Integrale, visitors to the motor show can also admire the bumpers and a selection of steel panels, reproduced specifically for this iconic Lancia model as part of “Heritage Parts”, a joint project between #heritage and Mopar® that offers a range of original spare parts for vintage cars. Essential to safeguard the collectible and financial value of classic cars, the spare parts can be purchased from the official sales network or online, from the Mopar® e-store.

Last but not least, the exhibition is rounded off with the exclusive #abarth 595 Competizione, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the initials ‘TC’, that made their debut in 1961 on the Fiat-Abarth 850. Today, the same historical denominations – Turismo and Competizione – are the hallmarks of two versions of the new #abarth 595, the Scorpion brand icon that perfectly embodies the brand’s two souls: style and performance.
