Have you ever heard about this.

Never happened. I belive the total number of cars built was 10; 8 cars Abarth 207A, 1 car as steet car with full windscreen 208A, and 1 car with coupe body 209A. All had Abarth modified Fiat 1100 motors.
As to the Abarth Alfa 1900 coupe, I never saw it in person. Paul Forbes who lived in Malibu California had an almost identical looking car with an Alfa and not an Abarth chassis. It was single color paint. This car still exists, but I am not sure who owns it. http://content.answers.com/main/cont..._Alfa_Ghia.JPG
There were a few Giulietta powered Abarths, but all "one-offs", and none that looked like the Abarth 207A. The Alfa/Abarth 1000 coupe comes to mind as one.
By the way, I am working on the information on Nardi for that web site. I have been having medical problems, so it is taking me longer than I would have liked...
