The car recently underwent a full check and service by a former Abarth’s satellite factory, which was in charge of the rebuilding and maintenance of some of Lancia Abarth works car. Initially this 037 was a test car of the Lancia-Abarth works team, which used it also to makr its first experiments on water injection in the engine, a solution that would be fitted in the 037s about two years later. Then this car was put in the field only once in race, in the Sanremo Rally of the World Rally Championship on September 30 -October 5, 1984.
