Right now, how much would you pay? $300? $1,000? $3,000? If you own an Abarth, how much have you paid already...for 1/20 of that information? That's one of the reasons we started AEW. We started AEW because such a book does not exist. And no one is likely to write it, except us. It will almost certainly never be published. But it could be available to you.

You have much of the information...you just don't talk to each other with writers present. There used to be a lot more writers, but many are gone. They will not return. Much of the information they had in their heads is gone, too, shared with just a few. Their enthusiasm and stories are also gone. We miss them. Some of the photos and documents they had have been passed down, but much of it was thrown out by grieving family members who didn't know what to do with it, or who to send it to.

If we cooperate, we'll make friends all over the world. We'll share stories no one would otherwise hear.

With some digging, we'll be able to more accurately reconstruct the story of the wonderful creations of Abarth & C. We'll capture what's left of an amazing automobile story, creating new stories as we go. We'll be able to think of our old friends who can't share our good fortune. And for a time, they will be with us again.

That's really why we started AEW. Help us write the story.
