Footnotes
FIAT's Stilo Abarth rally car first appeared (in Group N specification) at the 2001 Bologna Motor Show and formed the basis of the 'Trofeo Stilo Abarth', a one-make series run in Italy from 2002 to 2005. The Trofeo was for Group N cars, which meant that modifications were limited, thus ensuring close competition. The rallying Stilo was based on the 1.8-litre 16-valve production model, which was given an appropriately up-rated drive train consisting of a single-plate metal-ceramic clutch, a five-speed close-ratio gearbox, and a self-locking differential. Group N regulations strictly limited the permissible modifications to the engine, which produced 157bhp initially and 180bhp from the 2003 season onwards. A similar competition - the FIAT Stilo Rally Cup - was run in the UK throughout 2004 and 2005. At this point, FIAT UK realised that the Stilo had greater potential and set about creating a team of Group A cars to compete in the Wales Rally GB round of the World Rally Championship and selected other events, including the British Rally Championship.
Built by FIAT's competitions department, N Technology, 'CN04 JDF' is a genuine FIAT UK works car, number '039', and features a 214bhp engine and five-speed 'dog' gearbox. The car made its debut in the FIAT Stilo Rally Cup in 2004, driven by Chris Davies and co-driver Nathan Perry. It has also competed successfully in the Wales Rally GB, the Manx International Rally, and the Pirelli International Rally. Other events contested include the Welsh International Rally, Scottish Rally, Jim Clark Rally, Rally of Yorkshire, and the South of England Rally.
Recent events entered include the Sunseeker Rally (x2), Help for Heroes Rally, Goodwood (x2), Silverstone Classic, CarFest South, and Bournemouth Wheels (this year). The car comes with its RAC logbook and homologation papers, a V5C Registration Certificate, and current MoT. A large quantity of spares parts comes with it also to include: body panels, suspension and brake components, a gearbox, and 20 wheels/tyres.
