Where it was set to 25.000 Euro and sold within a month or so.
The wreck must have been a very very cheap buy before the resto, if
you consider that OKP are able to sell the car for 25.000,00 Euros and
still supposed to make a profit as a company.
I admit 25.000,00 Euros (almost same amount in dollars) is a lot of money - but not if you want the full resto as the pictures show.
All new body- and spare parts mounted on this car cost approx. the same in
Poland as anywhere else in the world.
The car was transported from an unknown place to Poland and back
to Munich adding costs as well.
So what you have to consider is, if there is money left at all for a thorough
job done by the polish craftsmen and a good paintjob.
Even if the Polish workers are cheap, I would be very interested in knowing
what was actually done on the bodywork and mechanical parts - with profit in mind!
As an example I could mention the sills.
I'm missing pictures on both RS-CC and OKP website, with evidence that the sills were done correctly - the two linings under the doors are not to be seen.
If the resto is done thoroughly these linings should be visible on even bad pictures.
Well, maybe I'm sounding too sceptic and I'm sure the car is all fine!
My scepticism may come from not so good sounding stories I have heard from unhappy people here in Denmark being axed by Polish "super duper workshops"
This may not be fair to all the decent companies in Eastern Europe, but I
would not dare to bring my 1750 to Poland - Ever!!
A person I know, bought a very cheap - let's say paid nothing for an
old Lancia.
He brought it to Poland for a resto, doing a follow-up on the phone.
Half a year later, he found something to be strange about the whole thing.
He went over and discovered that the car was gone - dissappeared!!
Paying nothing for the car, he didn't want to make further investigations
because he couldnt even pursuade the police in Poland to go into the matter!!
So my advice:
When dealing with Poland, make sure to be 300% convinced that you are in contact with a serious workshop.
Make sure to get all agreements down on paper and signed by the workshop.
Dont' accept requests for pre-payments!
Cross fingers that the job goes smoothly, because a lawsuit in Poland is not an easy task.
Give yourself some thoughts about that possible situation, where your car is stuck in Poland because of
disagreements - will you ever get it back?
But the Giallo GT surely is nice.
Still, I would exchange the seats to achieve a more original appearance.
