How much does it cost to restore a vintage Fiat 500?

Model: Fiat 500 Epoca - Years 1957-1975
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we want to give an indication to those who would like to buy a used vintage 500 to restore it. It is certainly a meritorious work (provided you find a car worth it) but how much does this operation cost? The youtuber helps us by providing some data. A 1965 500 F cost 1,200 euros, then it took 200 hours of work to restore it to its former glory, not to mention the value of body and mechanical spare parts and bodywork and painting work; then there are the interiors, of course. The total cost was almost 14,000 euros, including the value of the car. The restoration cost alone is about 12,700 euros. So if we have our dad's, uncle's or grandma's car and we want to keep it restored, we are free to do so, but we know it will cost us as much as a Maserati.
