Abarth

Abarth Price Guide

If you are trying to work out what your Abarth is worth, the answer depends heavily on which era your car comes from. The brand has had two very distinct lives – as an independent tuning house and competition car builder from 1949 to the mid-1970s, and as a Fiat-owned performance sub-brand revived in 2007 – and the two could not be more different in terms of market value.

What Affects Abarth Values

For the original cars, rarity is everything. Genuine period Abarths were produced in tiny numbers and many were used hard in competition, so survivors with documented history command serious money at specialist auction. The brand’s association with Carlo Abarth himself and with Fiat’s golden era of motorsport gives these cars a cachet that far outstrips their modest size. Provenance, originality, and competition history are the key value drivers.

Classic Abarths

Original Abarth-prepared cars from the 1950s through to the early 1970s – the 750 and 850 derivatives, the OT series, the Simca-Abarths, and above all the sports-racing prototypes – sit in specialist collector territory. These are rare, valuable, and best assessed by marque experts. If you own one, you almost certainly already know what you have, but a specialist valuation is still worthwhile given how much condition, paperwork, and competition provenance can move the price.

Modern Abarths

The vast majority of Abarths on the road today are based on the Fiat 500 platform, produced from 2008 onwards. These are fun, characterful cars but they follow a fairly standard depreciation pattern for a hot hatchback. The 595 and 695 variants hold value a little better than the base models, with limited editions like the Biposto, Rivale, and 695 Tributo Ferrari attracting small premiums. The key factors affecting what your modern Abarth is worth are mileage, service history, and whether it has been modified – as many have. Standard, well-maintained examples tend to be worth more than heavily modified cars. The newer electric Abarth 500e is still early in its depreciation curve and harder to call, though early signs suggest it is following the broader EV pattern of steeper initial drops.
