    PRESS RELEASE // JANUARY 2018 THE ABARTH SAGA, A TASTE OF THE SWISS COLLECTION OF ENGELBERT MÖLL AT THE RETROMOBILE SHOW Reborn 10 years ago, the Italian racing car market with the scorpion outstripped all the major names during the post-war boom. This amazing adventure will be recounted during the Retromobile show through 22 models taken from Engelbert Möll’s magnificent Swiss collection CARLO ABARTH, A CHARACTER ! When it comes to wizards with mechanics, France had Amédée Gordini. Italy had Carlo Abarth. On 15 November 1908, Dora Taussig, heir to a textiles company, gave birth to a baby boy with a strong character: Karl Abarth, mostly know under the name of Carl. As a teenager, he showed a strong interest in mechanics, particularly everything to do with motorcycles. Initially, he worked for Castagna & C in Vienna, but then his career The Engelbert Möll’s collection path changed when he joined the Motor Thun workshop (run by Copyrights : Rémi DARGEGEN Count Thun). When one of its drivers defected, he found himself competing in Austria’s motorcycle grand prix. He raced the fastest time in the free trials and the qualifying heats: Karl had entered the big boys’ playground. The die has been cast and it was the beginning of a series of victory. His reputation extended well beyond Austria: he managed to win a wager that he could beat the Orient Express on the Vienna-to-Ostend stretch. In 1938, he was asked to race for Italy – the birthplace of his own father who had come back to live in Merano, in the Trentino.

  • La Saga Abarth, Extrait De La Collection Suisse D'engelbert Möll Au Salon Retromobile
    COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE // JANVIER 2018 LA SAGA ABARTH, EXTRAIT DE LA COLLECTION SUISSE D’ENGELBERT MÖLL AU SALON RETROMOBILE Relancée il y a dix ans, la marque italienne au Scorpion a damné le pion aux plus grandes marques au cours des Trente glorieuses. Cette aventure haute en couleur sera explorée, le temps du Salon Rétromobile, avec vingt-deux modèles extraits de la magnifique collection suisse d’Engelbert Möll. CARLO ABARTH, UN PERSONNAGE ! Au royaume des sorciers de la mécanique, la France avait Amédée Gordini. L’Italie ? Carlo Abarth ! Le 15 novembre 1908, Dora Taussig, héritière d’une famille d’industriels du textile, met au monde un garçon au caractère bien trempé : Karl Abarth, plus connu sous le prénom de Carl. Dès l’adolescence, le jeune homme manifeste une forte attirance pour la mécanique et plus particulièrement les motocyclettes. Après avoir La Collection Engelbert Möll débuté chez l’artisan Castagna & C. à Vienne, son destin bascule, Crédits : Rémi DARGEGEN lorsqu’il rejoint l’atelier Motor Thun dirigé par le comte Thun. La défection d’un pilote de l’écurie lui vaut de se retrouver au grand prix de motocyclettes d’Autriche en avril 1928. Meilleur temps des essais libres et des qualifications : Karl ne manque pas son entrée dans le grand monde. Les dés étaient jetés et ce fut début d’une série de course où ses aptitudes de pilotes ne passèrent pas inaperçues. Sa notoriété dépasse les frontières de l’Autriche lorsqu’il gagne son pari d’aller plus vite que l’Orient-Express sur le tronçon Ostende- Vienne. En 1938, il est sollicité pour courir sous les couleurs de l’Italie, la patrie de son père revenu vivre à Merano, dans le Trentin.
