In recent years I've bought a few cars that are throwbacks to cars I owned earlier in my life; from a Clio V6 that I bought in 2022 as the flagship of my original 1.2 Clio, to a BMW 1M I bought in 2023 to follow from my 123d. For 2024, we're throwing back to an Abarth 595C Turismo that I'd owned in the early days of the Shmee150 channel, with one of the rarest versions that was ever made.
Believe it or not, earlier this year I came upon an advert for a specific car and wrote a message to video editor Brad pondering if we could ever find that exact one, well fast forward a few months and up it popped on Collecting Cars for an online auction! Naturally, this had to happen, and although I was away from home at the time the auction ended, I wanted to share this experience, as the first time I've ever bought a car from auction.
-- SPOILER BELOW --
Fast forward, and you join us for collection day. After installing a tow hook on the Transit Custom MS-RT that we run as our team car, we're collecting a trailer from GT Towing for the journey up north to reveal my new purchase; a Fiat 500 Abarth Ferrari Dealer Edition! Unknown to most, and often confused with the Abarth 595 Tributo Ferrari, there were actually only 200 Dealer Editions ever made, which were first used at Ferrari dealers themselves as courtesy cars during service etc.
My specific car is number 200 out of 200, and it was first sold by Dick Lovett Ferrari Swindon - yes, these were only retailed at Ferrari dealerships, making it not only one of the most unusual, but also rarest cars ever sold by Ferrari. Finished in Rosso Corsa, and armed with Scuderia Racing stripes, it absolutely looks the part and even more so equipped with a manual gearbox, the special white bucket seats, and number plaque to confirm the model. While the majority of the 200 cars were regular Fiat 500s, a total of approx 68 of them are Abarth variants, many of which you can find on ECR: exclusivecarregistry.com/model/abarth/500?version=…

YES! Now we need to see a tour to the ring with the Abarth, Clio, 1M, and Focus RS and call it the pocket rocket tour 😂
-
Shmee dancing!!! I have seen everything now😂😂
-
I love how Shmee just buys whatever he wants. He just loves, appreciates the history behind it and then just buys it and actually put some miles on it. Well done Shmee, many years and counting.
-
I am convinced shmee has the most meaningful and unique collection of cars in all of youtube; you can tell every car has a story behind it for him 🇯🇲 love the content shmee big up
-
Sam from seen through glass jelous af now 😂
-
My 124 finally has a friend!🤩🦂
-
lol the elusive 'Shady Shmee' @9:45
-
That’s funny. Someone hacked my account to bid on that car, I managed to get the team to lock my account. The bid was made at below £4000 so no effect on the outcome. Well done that great little car
-
Brad is quietly over the moon with another Abarth in the collection, let alone another one with a Record Exhaust 🤣
-
Had to laugh so hard at „..now what happens next? - I have NO IDEA!!“ 😂😂😂
-
Doesn't this mean that you also got to have a Scuderia in the same spec to match? ;-)
-
Shmee the shady Transit robber was hilarious 😂
-
Fun fact: there was another Abarth courtesy car edition based on the 695 Biposto, called the Rosso Oficine and painted in Rosso Corsa too. iirc only 99 exist.
-
9:48 Seeing Shmee with his hood up reminds me of The AMG GT Black Series commercial 😂
-
the auction clip was hilarious, car looks wicked too, quite a collection of smaller more achievable cars now! awesome
-
Brought my wife for Christmas a 695 Tributo Ferrari...lol. carbon bits etc. engine remapped. Carbon fiber everywhere. Forged intercooler. Uprated pulleys. Forged actuator. Got it to 245 bhp from the 180 hp 1.4. she was made up. Went out Christmas morning in her pjs. I hid it in the garage and she thought it was a red truck V8 as the record Monza exhaust is mental 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Great video.
-
You must take it to the Nurburgring for some laps along with the new fxx
-
“Now I’ve read through all the terms and conditions before” I can bullshit on that one Shmee😂 No one ever reads that.
-
4:27 😂 just the joy in his fac
-
4:40 is a side of you I'd never expected to see, but absolutely loved it! Congrats mate 🤗
