In 1948 Abarth received several Cisitalia 204 Spyder chassis as part of a deal in which Abarth took over the liquidated Cisitalia assets, and built 6 204A racing cars powered by Fiat 1100 cc engines. On 31 March 1949, Abarth & C. was founded in Bologna. The Cisitalia 204s were immediately rechristened Abarth Cisitalia 204A, as the takeover deal required Abarth to field the cars under the Cisitalia name for at least one year. The “Squadra Abarth” raced 204A with celebrated drivers, including Tazio Nuvolari, Franco Cortese, and Piero Taruffi. Notably, Tazio Nuvolari made his last appearance in racing at the wheel of an Abarth 204A, winning its class in the Palermo–Monte Pellegrino hillclimb on 10 April 1950.
