Hi Kev
Yeah, seems very realistically priced to me too.?
At today's exchange rate it works out at about ?21,660 pounds Sterling and I'm pretty sure that there aren't too many on the market today for that kind of money.
A word of caution here though. I purchased my Abarth for a 'reasonable sum' back in 2004 (blimey - that was three years ago
) and I'd have to say that I have spent at least what it cost me to buy in getting the car properly sorted - and I've still got a way to go yet!
I had budgeted for a large spend though, safe in the knowledge that the car I ended up with would be (mechanically at least) as perfect as I could get it. The thing about cars like the 131 Abarth is that they are often used 'in anger' (as this blue one appears to have been) and as a result, are abused. This abuse ultimately needs rectification - which is where the costs lie.
Still, the reality is that you could actually pay between 45 and 55k Euro for a 131 Abarth that will still need a fortune spending on it - so this car is probably a good buy.
I think blue would nicely off-set the red of my current Arbie in my garage
I think I can hear the distant sound of a row with the missus!
