The Abarth 207A Boano Spyder is a competition car created by Abarth & C. with the aim of selling in the United States market.[1] It succeeded the earlier Abarth 205A Berlinetta and continued to use the Fiat 1100's four-cylinder engine. It also continued to use the naming practice started with the Cisitalia 202 and 204, which continued with the Abarth 204A and 205A. Design work started in 1954 and the car was first presented at the 1955 Turin Motor Show. A street-oriented version of the Spyder called the 208A, fitted with a panoramic windshield, was shown in 1954, as well as a Coupé model with an airy glasshouse, called the 209A.[2] Both of the street versions appear to have remained one-offs.
