I summarize the meaning of the article: "The club intends to make efforts to try to reach a census of all the spider ......."
What drives me in this research is curiosity, the desire for knowledge, the pleasure of sharing.
As always, I write the post to points so as to facilitate translation:
I welcome the criticism about the attempt to survey our spider.
Frequently read articles like the one picture where the owners of old cars are curious to know how many cars are equal to them.
I think everyone would be proud to own the only existing model of car ....
Personally I love my 124 spider and I think I keep her close forever, so that the price goes up or down does not change.
The fact that there are still many outstanding can be found with relative ease any spare parts and this is positive.
I find it very interesting analysis of A.J. and it takes for a check on the Italian situation so you have a comparison with the data of the register. (P.s.: hi AJ, seemed excessive to me the spider in Europe, however, analyzing sales and 124 circulating about half are the version of "America", then imported)
Main sources:
http://www.autoscout24.it/auto/fiat/fiat-124-spider/ (110 spider), Autobelle, immediately, Kijiji (almost always repeats) ....
Cars for sale in Italy: + - 130 (about 50% of America version)
130 * 2 * 7 = 1820
130 * 4 * 10 = 5200
By averaging the two values: 3500 spider; different from the 2016 value listed for Italy but not too much considering that many cars, also for sale, are still in the garage, do not pay stamp duty (taxes) and are not included in the count indicated in the opening post. (I myself bought my spider no insurance and no stamp duty (road tax).
Find the number of spiders from each specific territory would become a very long search, but without better data, it can be the beginning.
Eight days (if I'll finish on time ...) from the post I intend to do a summary:
ITALY 2016 SPIDER
GERMANY 2505
UNITED KINGDOM 100
SWITZERLAND 50
USA 2800-8000
there are still 191 countries ...
Have fun with all the new stuff!
