Hi all i had a lot of messages about more photos i dont have any more but i can take some on monday .Also the price is 19000 it cost me over 22000 and loads of hours it still needs some tiding up but it should not cost any money as it is all there,there is a rear brace that can be fitted by the new owner if he wants.You can view the car in Tottenham any week day

Nice car and sorry to see you selling, is it an abarth stradle replica ?, I wish you all the best in your sale although its just me but I think 19,000 is really on the expensive side, 10k more you can have the real deal, also there are others on here that have done GRP 4 Replica very nice and asked 10 to 15k, but hey don't take me to serious its just my opinion, I and I do hope you get that ;), so there maybe hope for when my GRP 4 is done so I can claw back some serious cash that I have invested ;)

Hey f1lmm, wanna read something funny? My Abarth is already worth about 40.000 Euro's now. When it's finished it's worth between 140.000 and 150.000. Yes, worth is the right word.  ;)
But a replica is something else. It's just what you will offer for it. Real Stradales will do about 35.000. Replica's will never be that price. No matter how much effort or money you put in it.

Hi all if anyone has done one he will tell you what it cost 19000 is not alot of money  as  mirafiori76 said you need 140,000 to get the real thing not 30000

Adcostas, you are missing the point here. I know you put a lot of money in yours. Yes, i know, i did the same back in 1988 and see what happened  :-[
The price you want for it is understandable, but i doubt if you are getting the price for it. I sure hope you get what you want.

Stradales will do about 35.000 and group 4 cars at least 140.000  :o

 mirafiori76 what do they go for ?

I here you Mira ;)

Adcostas,

Replica's go for whatever one finds it's worth. Depends on the parts used really. The more Abarth, the more it will sell.
Stradales will go between 30.000 and 36.000. Mine, i sold it about 6 years ago  :'( brought me 36.000.
My group 4 is worth now about 40.000. See my topic for how it is right now. But eventually it will be worth between 140.000 and 150.000. And no matter if one Markku Alen or a Walter Rohrl once drove it. Or a Pianta, or a Waldegard. It's just the price they go for.
Nevertheless, i will NOT sell mine ever. I was forced to sell my Stradale and that will never happen again. But that aside.

Again, I understand your price. H**l, i know. I once build my first replica in 1988-1993 and it did cost me the same. My second replica was cheaper and i sold it for 8.000....
But i doubt you will ever get your price. So, why not keep it? It's almost a finished car. And when you drive it, i'm sure it will make some heads turning... Like: what the h**l is that...Vraaaoemmm...what was that? I got the same when i drove my Stradale. Gives you a hard on  :D :D :D Ask Simon, he knows what i'm talking about.
Anyway, good luck selling...if you're going through with this.

Adcostas mirafiori76 is right I'm afraid for example my sport excluding what I paid for it will cost me anything between 10k and 15k to get to a near perfect condition and then if I sold it I would be lucky to get 10/12k back and that's not allowing for what I actually paid for it either as I said.
To be honest a good mint Uk sport will sell for more than a replica Abarth too.
Having said all that there is always a buyer out there who is willing to pay the money so I would leave it at that price you want for a while and see how things go.
Good luck with the sale.

Although this does contradict what i said to say the least  :), i guess what Mirafiori76 said was right the more genuine Abarth parts you use the higher the price as this one has been for sale for at least a year and half and the seller  has not once dropped the price ! but its a works replica rather than a Stradale replica but its big money all the same.

Its actually pretty cheap. I know the car, its real Abarth Stradale transformed to race. It does have some g.4 parts, but only few. There is some works parts coming with the car when sold. It has been under heavy body restoration, done by professionals.

The seler used to have pictures up on the add but they were removed, it was in the olio Fiat livery was it not ?

Indeed it is. Nice sound. Terrible driving. Too bad the video doesn't show any shots from up close. I would love to see the engine, or suspension.
Anyway, 50.000 is a lot of money for a Stradale converted to a group 4 thingy  :'( Not a Stradale anymore, not a group 4 car...

i have a magazine article on this car from some 20years ago, it was in car and car conversions the article being called clockwork orange, i can email it if anyone wants to read it i think it is to big a file size to post on forum.
i particularly like this car because its being used regularly and it was the first 131 abarth i had seen.   

the problem always the same!
between what it is value for the owner,  and what someone would pay!
there are always big gap.  :-[

BTW:  i would not sell mine Gr.4 Replica under 30.000 Euro,
and also not pay 140000 Euro for an Original Gr.4 and rallye with it.

Enzo  :)

I would rally mine, but in a safe way. Only when there is nothing to colide with  ;) :D

I shouldn't you might be acussed of terrible driving. Haha

 well i like it

Yes, you are right. I will keep the car in my garage and just look at it sometimes  ;) :D

Thanks its still for sale i haven't advertised it yet i am open to offers and it has only done 10 miles since the recon never been raced needs running in, I think it also has a limited diff as that's how they came new in Cyprus not sure need to check maybe had a replacement

Im sorry if i never caught this on your threads but did you do all the fibre glass Abarth body work or was it bought in from Cyprus as it is.
Oh and i agree it is a nice looking motor there is no doubt about that  8)

I'll endorse that, it is a great looking motor. ;D

Hi i had all the work done in cyprus the guy who started it ran out of cash so i purchased it in bits with the kit and paid to have it finished

Hi i am back from my work trip so all those who want to see the car are welcome any time just let me know
thanks

Hello,

May I ask where did you buy this car from South Cyprus (Greek side) or North Cyprus (Turkish side). ?
