“We are once again delighted with the progress Abarth is making in the UK market,” says Gerry Southerington, brand manager, Abarth UK. “We spent the whole of 2015 building on Abarth’s success and had our best month ever in September when we sold more than 700 cars.
“We have also been increasing the number of Abarth dealers in the UK, which will further help us to improve the service we can offer to our growing number of customers.”
