Title: The Ultimate track day Beta - Abarth 033 Post by: 75coupe on March 30, 2010, 11:46:26 AM Hi All,
Stumbled across this a while back, perhaps the ultimate use of a Beta engine/box without any bodywork to worry about....Has anyone actually seen one of these? Apparently they were used for a a one make race series in Italy, with standard Beta engine/box modified with twin DCNF downdraft carbs and dry sump - standard head cams etc! All I need now is a rolling chassis that I can pop my spare 2l engine and box into..... - would make an interesting track day/hillclimb car.

I wonder if the reference to the Jolly Car is linked to the rally team Jolly Club ?
