This car is now being sold for 160,000 euros.

RUOTECLASSICHE October 23, 2020 Padova Auto e Moto d’Epoca 2020: who goes up and who goes down. Although the period is not the best, there are still many cars for sale in Padua. And with also interesting prices, testifying to the fact that the Padua event, even if in a slightly reduced edition, is always a strategic point of reference for the sector. However, there are some “fugitive” models, which seem to have disappeared from the market, and one wonders why. In fact, in the last five years the rise, in terms of prices, of some of these has been important, almost to the point of “collapse”. This seems to be the most plausible reason why in Padua certain cars, both important and not, seem to have remained at stake, not present, waiting to understand the evolution of the market. On the other hand, other cars are now back in the limelight, at least according to the offer proposed here in Padua. Let’s see who goes up and who goes down. Dino 246 GT. Only one specimen present in Padua, however very beautiful, visible in the Ruote da Sogno stand. Designed by Leonardo Fioravanti for Pininfarina on the inspiration of Aldo Brovarone, for many years it has been the subject of a resounding rise, with values that today are close to 300 thousand euros, with peaks of 350 thousand. Which for many operators in the sector are considered too many, also in consideration of the fact that 2400 246 GTs have been built, to which 1200 in the GTS version must be added. Those who have bought them in recent years at a certain amount want to resell them and earn money, but to most it seems that the price has now “arrived”. And the other Dino for sale where are they? In the garage, waiting for better times. Alfa Romeo 1900 Sprint. Three specimens for sale in Padua, respectively a splendid first series restored to high standards by G. & amp; T. Auto, a second barnfind series by Max Righini and a Super Sprint at the Ruote da Sogno stand, sold on the first day of the fair. The prices do not scare potential buyers, but they are the specimens that are starting to run low, with a reversal of the trend compared to the recent past: now those who have a sports “millenove” hold it tight, perhaps even thinking about a future skyrocketing price.
CORRIERE DELLA SERA October 27, 2020 Vintage cars and motorcycles, positive results in Padua despite Covid. The 37th edition of the festival closed with a good turnout. And if the big international dealers were missing, unable to reach Italy, all the most important Italian dealers confirmed their presence: & laquo; it was important to be there- explains Simone Bertolero of Auto Classic- despite the inevitable decline in sales & raquo ;.
