The Monomille was styled by Abarth and built with aluminum coachwork on a modified Fiat 600D chassis at Carrozzeria Sibona-Basano in Turin, Italy. The GT version was released in 1963 and featured a “ducktail” rear end that is said to have been designed personally by Carlo Abarth. This example received bodywork and a repaint in 2018 according to the seller. Details include exposed headlights, pop-out rear quarter windows, and Carrozzeria Abarth emblems.
An external battery cutoff switch is located on the right sail panel, and a North Carolina inspection decal from 1968 is affixed to the windshield. Four-lug 13″ wheels were manufactured by Campagnolo for Abarth and wear General Altimax tires. Braking is from Girling discs at all four wheels, and suspension includes a transverse leaf spring up front as well as coil springs in the rear. The brake fluid was flushed in September 2020.
The cabin was refreshed with new charcoal square-weave carpets and Berni Motori bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl, and the door panels and rear bulkhead wear matching upholstery. A braced roll bar is mounted behind the seats, and a safety harness is provided for the driver. The metal dashboard was refurbished with a black wrinkle-coat finish and houses period-style toggle switches and indicator lights.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel with an Abarth horn button frames Jaeger instrumentation including a central tachometer and a 105-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer shows just under 11k miles, with actual mileage unknown. A 2020 electrical system overhaul consisted of troubleshooting as well as installation of new wiring and connectors.
The replacement 982cc inline-four features a single camshaft, a new Weber twin-throat carburetor, and a straight-through exhaust system with heat-wrapped headers and no muffler. The September 2020 work included removal of aftermarket accessories, fabrication of a new expansion tank, replacement of the oil cooler, a valve adjustment, and fluid changes.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle. A Fuel Safe fuel cell is fitted in the front compartment, and cooling is managed by a front-mounted radiator.
