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.

[adcostas]

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

[mirafiori76]

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

 mirafiori76 what do they go for ?

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  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 ?
