-- Original opening post --

Just seen the SMMT vehicle registration data for December and Abarth show as a separate manufacturer with 5 registrations for the month, 0% market share so we are a very exclusive group.

Does anyone know the month by month figures since sale began?

Interested to see January's figures, hope it's more than the 2 here in South Yorkshire!

Not 100% accurate I know, but back in December my dealer (the only official one) in Holland said he had sold about 50 A500s and 30 GPAs.  He said Fiat NL were aiming to move about 1-200 A500s per annum.

Considering in Holland that a manufacturer needs to sell about 6000 units before you begin to see that model every day, I think its fair to say we will remain in a pretty exclusive club.

That's a lot. January must have been I biggest sale month for abarth so far.
Title: Re: abarth registration data

probably a whole lot of 500 demontrators in that number

Post by: Alex_gregory_uk on February 05, 2009, 11:29:40 am
Will the fact I have paid my deposit and signed the paperwork in January count as the sale in January, or will it be when I pick it up in March?
Title: Re: abarth registration data
Post by: olopboy on February 05, 2009, 11:37:31 am
When you pick it up and it is registered with the DVLA.
Title: Re: abarth registration data
Post by: domc on February 05, 2009, 11:38:25 am
Yours will be registered in march so you get your 09 plate.
Title: Re: abarth registration data
Post by: Alex_gregory_uk on February 05, 2009, 11:46:34 am
Ah cool. Thanks for that. I don't imagine anyone will have bought/registered an Abarth 500 in January so the sales do seem high compared to previous months. Still less sales than an Aston Martin though!!!

I placed my order in Jan too, i could have had a jan registration if there was one of my spec on the port. Mine is now going to be a March/April registration. It makes sence to me that people would buy in jan, you can organise your money after christmas and go and buy. Thats my opinion anyway.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to start a separate thread where all Abarth owners could add their own car including some basic info like colour/wheels/options etc. A bit like this:

http://www.alfaowner.com/Forum/alfa-gta/50071-so-how-many-and-where-are-the-gtas.html


That could work as a database of the cars in the forum. Maybe one of the moderators or somebody who owns an AGP could start the thread.



..and euroboy could start a very short 500A owners list.

Post by: Hozepipe on April 06, 2009, 03:44:43 pm
228 sold in March.

That probably means the whole UK quota for the A500 will be sold by the end of May/early June.

What will those poor Johnny come lately's do? :'(

Where do you get the info from anyways?
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: lloyd on May 10, 2009, 04:13:21 pm
SMMT (society of motor manufacturers and traders) publish registration data each month along with a report on the state of the car industry, it is split by manufacturer so abarth has its own figure. up to january this was an indication of how many AGPs were registered but since the 500 went on sale the figure covers both models and presumably only abarth can give the model by model figure.

i found the report by entering smmt registration data into google

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Missing in Action on June 04, 2009, 04:44:15 pm

That's about what I expected, and illustrates the initial rush subsiding.  Later in the year, we'll run into build slot restrictions, too.

Only by three, this is likely to be the more normal level with build slots available etc, of course August will be even lower due to people desperate for a 59 plate holding their cars at dealers   :P  ;D

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: nyssa7 on August 06, 2009, 12:53:20 pm
Anyone thinking of ordering and taking advantage of the scrappage scheme should bear in mind this:

Latest Government figures show that 144,308 cars and light vans have been bought through the scrappage scheme since it went live on 18 May 2009

Money only in place for 300,000 (although I wonder how the last few will be done as the money runs down), at current rate and not allowing for any September upsurge, its will run out by October
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on August 06, 2009, 01:43:16 pm
Exclusivity is maintained with the 90 units in July

Manufacture     July Registrations
Aston Martin            119
Bentley                     97
Porsche                   611

In terms of the scrappage to the end of July 84,361 vehicles have been registered to the end of July. nyssa's figure of 144,308 i think is the total allocated on the scheme like mine which has been accepted although the vehicle won't be registered until it arrives so 59,947 vehicles have been accepted under the scheme but the new vehicles have not yet been registered.

It is interesting to see that Porsche is playing its part in the scrappage scheme with 10 cars being registered under the scheme!!

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on September 04, 2009, 09:30:06 am
August shows 59 Abarths

Which gives YTD (Jan-Aug) of 761

Still more exclusive than Aston Martin who YTD have 771 registrations

Scrappage BERR show to the 23rd Aug 185,273 accepted vehicles so August has seen a massive uptake on the scheme so probablly 2 months or so left.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on September 04, 2009, 12:45:07 pm
Stato time for anyone interested

Well what an interesting month August 09 has been stats wise.

Fiat Group (Abarth, Alfa Romeo & Fiat no Ferrari or Maserati) saw 58.6% of its registrations come from the Scrappage Scheme in August 09 figures are units registered
                               Last Yr
Abarth           59           12
Alfa             344          216    the 'Mito' effect going on here
Fiat           3,026       1,629

Total         3,429        1,857

Scrappage  registrations of the 3,429 = 2,010

Things don't look to good at Saab with just 35 registrations in August but don't worry in terms of excllusivity YTD is 5,563 compared to our 761.

The 59 units done for Abarth shows that factory order only is the main way that these cars are supplied people as this forum clearly shows just want them and not everyone has waited for a 59 plate. 

Is anyone interested in the split?

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Ad on September 04, 2009, 01:02:54 pm
Si por favor. (Spanish moment for some reason)

Will be interested to see whether September registrations are a lot higher.

When i went to Alfa near me they said the only cars they are selling are MiTo's, but I'm suprised people are still happy after they increased the prices again in August.

Saab... :-X

Wampa the white with black stripe very nice i see you got body coloured mirrors how did you do that?

Of interest also might be to statoholoics

The first couple of days of September has seen the August month registrations exceeded so a lot of very happy people out on the roads this week. Amoung them bullylove, wampa, simundo777,Abarth500 Joe, DaveyP, Lisa1626,Lagerlout,Peptalk,Moose  so that is 9 of them with A500's.

The wing mirrors were a mistake at the factory, I was sent a photo by the dealership and asked to decide within 24 hours whether I did want the black mirrors so they could make a claim to Abarth. I decided White looked better! Oh by the way, thanks for your nice comment and the split  :thumb:

I was at Glyn Hopkin on Saturday.
Claire said sales were going very well, she took orders on 5 last week.
I remember when I placed my order in April she said it was 2 or so per week.
I've also noticed a higher rate of posts on the "Abarth spotted" topic.
We're not exactly common but I expect to actually start seeing a few on the roads soon (I've only seen a couple since release).

Many thanks needsmust

As i indicated in my earlier posting of the figures yesterday was very very busy day for me yesterday which involved a lot of Italian and my bit in Italian was intended as a bit of humor.

I have been very busy already this morning and am just enjoying a quick expresso i will endevour to come back to the forum with some more interesting data later re September.

Statoholic September Analysis

Lets start with the Fiat Group in the UK (excluding Ferrari & Maserati) the % of Scrappage registrations fell from 58.6% in Aug to 44.3% in September reflecting the usual new reg peak.

              Sept 09      Sept 08
Abarth           212              41
Alfa Romeo   1,978            796  The Mito effect is 1,400 units! 70.8% of Alfa
Fiat           11,712          9,818

Total         13,902         10,655

Scrappage registrations of the 13,902 = 6,157

Let me show how exclusive the Abarth GP is with YTD of 194. Every one of the Aston Martin models (DB7, DBS & V8) have registered more than 200 units this year. This September also saw the AGP with 51.22% more registrations in September than last year  62 to 41. In fact Nissans GT-R Skyline registered more units this month than the AGP did for the YTD to the end of July.

I know that some potential Abarthisti had considered the Mito but it is very much a volume product which is good for Alfa although all of the ones registered so far will not have the Multiair in.

The A500 with 150 units is 2x the 5 month (non reg month) average of 74.8 units/month.

Appearing for the first time in the UK is Infiniti with 24 units i'm sure most will be registered to themselves for press and demo at Reading i wont bore anyone with the split.

Saab did manage more than the 35 last month but with a decline of 50.83% over last year i think Koenigsegg have giot a big job on their hands. 

I trust that this provides a fix for the Statoholics amoungst you and i am very sorry for the delay this month but things have been very hectic!

A mid month statoholic fix

How is Abarth doing in other markets?

Well i can tell you very well. Italy is numero uno in terms of registrations which is to be expected as the passionate nation has (like in our market) a lot of 40 - 50 year olds who grew up with the 500 and the Abarth was unobtainable for them but it is available now. This has shown in the reduction of GPA registrations this year (although still a very high number the YTD to end Sept is over 1,000). Abarth provides the Italian market with an Italian company Q car alternative to the German company brands Q versions that are so strong.

Austria the home of Mr Abarth has with the A500 YTD end Sept matched the number of GPA's registered in the UK and Austria is not a big country (pop 8.3 M) so some passion showing there as well.

In fact lets stat it

Country              Population                500 reg YTD Sep 09            Head pop per A500

Austria               8,300,000                 193 (well 1 less than GPA UK)  43,005 
UK                    61,100,000                 779                                    78,433

So if you used the A500 per head of Austria that would be 1,421 registered in UK!!!

Well statoholics if Italy is numero uno who do you think is #2??

The first working day is today! All the number crunching happens today as Saturday was the last working day so although most are known things are not yet finalised.

I could bore you with Euro data but i'm sure no one is interested as the response to my mid month stats was none existant appart from needsmust.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Portti on November 02, 2009, 02:40:09 pm
Delaney:

As a non-UK resident the European stats would be very interesting. The German market statistics would be especially interesting but the other European statistics would be of interest too.

In relation to Austria there are 3 Abarth dealers in there so 193 A500s makes 64.3 A500s per dealer from Jan to Sep 09. For each dealer that means 7.1 A500s per month ie. approx. one car every three working days. I bought mine from Graz in Austria in May and the dealer in Graz seemed to be selling quite many cars abroad which I assume are not included in the Austrian stats.

How many dealers are there currently in the UK?

I can tell you some unofficial statistics too:

- No officially imported Abarth cars have been registered in any of the Nordic countries as far as I know since Abarth is not officially imported to Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Iceland. Some grey imports have probably been registered in some of these countries and in Finland I know two other grey import A500s besides mine. I'm not aware of any AGPs registered in here.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on November 03, 2009, 01:47:39 pm
Portti

I can provide you with this information for Finland as at End Sept

Model                   YTD 2008            YTD 2009
Fiat 500                   223                     104
Ford KA                     0                       402

Very interesting i'm sure that your Abarth will have been put in with the Fiat 500 stats although it is interesting to note the big fall in 500 sales from last year. Am i right in assuming that Finland likes Ford because the Ford KA which is on the 500 floorpan built by Fiat in the same plant gets such a high level of sales it would appear that sales have been taken away from Fiat! In fact the Toyota Aygo seems to have suffered as well from the Ford KA its YTD 2008 569 YTD 2009 249. The A sector in Finland is very small total sector YTD 2008 1,322  YTD 2009 1,355

As your car was on what looked like Austrian transfer plates when you brought it, it would not have been included in the Austrian registrations.

I trust this is of some interest to you.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Portti on November 03, 2009, 02:40:42 pm
Delaney:

Yes you are correct in assuming that Ford is popular in here. I think that it is number 3 or 4 brand in popularity in Finland.

However the situation with Fiat Group has not been very good in recent years and the local (unpopular) Fiat/Alfa/Lancia distributor has been on a verge of bankrupty during the last few months. I think it was September when it was announced that Fiat Group has terminated their distribution agreement with that company. Last month a new distributor was announced and they have started to build up their operations. Due to this I think that there have been only very limited number of Fiat Group car registrations in Finland during the last few months.

By the way the new Fiat Group cars distributor is the Finnish distributor for Chrysler Corp. cars. Perhaps we see similar moves in other markets too in the future?

Red is the new Black!!!

It would appear that the forum 'Girls only red section' could be responsible for the 24% of YTD Red A500's being registered in one month being October. The number of members that have taken delivery/registration in Oct seems to have been quite high forum members taking Red have been JVN, Capriwidow & Paula although one of those might be the one Red car showing for November.

In fact October also saw no Black AGP's registered is there a supply problem on black. In fact it was Red again that was numero uno with AGP registrations.

Come del gioco di colore

It has created more interest than the stato regulars Ad Lloyd needsmust Sawbomartin Scuderia sitar wampa etc etc.
If you are very good with stats you might be able enter the above!

So for Oct 2009

            Oct               YTD
A500     142                921
AGP        15                209

Tot Ab  157               1130

Quite amazing only 8 less A500's than last months new reg month but a lot of people had been waiting a long time for their cars.

So in respect of Come del gioco di colore i will let you know that in Oct 09 there were 18 Red A500's registered so do the maths and you should be able to work out how many have been registered YTD with an earlier comment!!!!


needsmust you think it is Germany at No 2 ! well i spent a number of hours dealing on a matter with Germany and will comment on this later in the week 'you vil be very interested'

Nothing wrong with hair straightners ;D

Research, Nuneaton seemed quite suprised at how many cars had turned up so I guess that there's more registrations than expected this month... ???

Interesting snippet I was sent yesterday: the Fiat 500 appeared in the top 10 sales charts for the first time last month, selling 2,989 units (well up on the 993 sold in October last year), making it the 10th best seller in the UK.

It goes on: "Fiat’s 6,570 sales result for October was 117.5 per cent up on the 3,020 figure for the same period last year, in a market up by 31 per cent."

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on November 06, 2009, 01:05:20 pm
I have been dealing with a couple of other matters so haven't looked at all the data yet but scrappage has had a very substantial effect as below shows with all of these manufactures with Sector A & B cars

Manufacture    %Market share increase Oct 09 on 08

Hyundai           286.60
Kia                 156.63
Fiat                117.55
Nissan             108.33
Suzuki             106.92

Even Renualt who have had an appauling year (-40.3% YTD) managed 94.96% for Oct so lots of Clio's

Another interesting one in October is Land Rover up 101.4% 2,584 units to 1,283 units last year and October was when things started going bad.

Interestingly in Italy 500 registrations are down 17.5% YTD whereas the old favourite the Panda is up 14% YTD. In UK to end Sept 500 YTD was 25% up.

I will also as usual comment on SAAB 335 units to 1,009 last year thats -66.8% and YTD it is -51.94% this looks like a crisis very very sad but that is what 20 years with GM does for you.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on November 06, 2009, 05:28:54 pm
The Fiat 500 on the YTD position moves from 26 in Sept to 24 in Oct displacing the Merc C-Class and GM's Zafira. The Difference between the Nisan Micra and the Fiat 500 in Sept was 1,435 and in Oct 2,772 although the Nissan Note outsold the Micra by almost 20%.

To put things into context though the Fiat 500 YTD for Oct at 15,869 is less than the October only figure for the GM Corsa at 16,379 so the BSM deal does have some effect but it is private sales on scrappage that have the biggest influence.

Just on Alfa's 693 units for the month 81.53% were Mito's, 12.27% were 159's the other 6.2% is Brera, GT and 147
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on November 09, 2009, 01:15:46 pm
Well Statoholics here is something 'vely interesting' as promised re my post Nov 4th 1:05

Remember my post of 16 October when i got no response apart from needsmust when responded 'Germany' when i posed the question who is #2?

The answer is UK here is the proof

                 Germany            UK
A500 Sept      157               150
A500 Oct        60                142

A500 YTD Oct 849/852         922

The 849/852 is because the German stats have a 3 vehicle varriance currently but as we can all see more A500's have been registered in the UK this year than any other market apart from Italy.     

This means that for FGA we should be considered 'very important customers' and that deficiencies in service etc need to be considered very carefully now we are paying premium for a premium brand. Obviously the LHD markets did get the A500 earlier than ourselves ie in 2008 but even so the recent launch of the 500C to the UK market first (the biggest convertable market in Europe) shows just how important the UK market is to FGA and to maintain customers bad dealers and bad service need dealing with.

Footnote Germany does have greater AGP registrations.

Hozepipe - As the figures now clearly show that we are the biggest market behind Italy this is an absolute priority which is what i belive i have suggested.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on December 03, 2009, 05:35:00 pm
Well its time for November numbers all you statoholics and these show just what a strong market the UK is for FGA i have already illuded to the fact that we have gone past Germany in A500 registrations for the year last month and this months figures are still very strong. In fact over the last 3 months we have registered 507 Abarths far more than the 453 we registered in the 5 months Apl to Aug but things are on the horizon which will reduce the high numbers that have been seen the end of scrappage and the VAT increase.

I have tracked down the missing car from last month it was a Black A500 which failed to come through correctly so her is the revised October figures

So for Oct 2009
WAS                                           REVISED
            Oct               YTD             Oct               YTD
A500     142                921            143               922
AGP        15                209              15               209

Tot Ab  157               1130             157             1131




And now for Nov 2009

            Nov               YTD
A500     123               1045            20 less A500 than Oct
AGP        14                209              1 less AGP than in Oct and 2 Black AGP's reg in Nov!
                                                   
Tot Ab  137               1268     


So November has seen the 1,000 units mark exceded by the A500.

Well statoholics here it is the 2009 final figures

RED is the colour in terms of December registrations. AGP's had 62.5% in Red and for A500 it was the equal highest month with 18 in Red and the highest month in % of month registrations.

So here it is

           Dec       YTD
A500    89        1134
AGP     24          247

Total   113       1381

Come del gioco di coloure

I will now reveal all as a YE bonus full year detail of Registarations

             A500     %           AGP    %
White      693    61.11          96   38.87
Black       191    16.84          63   25.51
Grey        150    13.23          NA

Some more statoholic data re UK for 2009

FGA had an interesting year the Fiat 500 finished the year as the 22nd most registered vehicle of the year in the UK with 24,290 (15,148 2008) vehicles registered the scrappage and that BSM deal contributing slightly to this increase. The Fiat 500 was not the #1 in what we term the 'A' sector that went to the car which finished 1 place above it in the most registered vehicles of the year 21st being the Hyundai I10 with 24,577 (6,760 2008 although introduced early part of year) the scrappage effect very much.

The A500 is still the exclusive vehicle in the 'A' sector with 1,134 .58% of all 'A' sector registrations if we exclude the Aixam 500 8 registrations (63 2008) and the Perodua Kenari 63 (86 2008). The Renualt Twingo is the next lowest share of the 'A' sector with 2,307 1.17% (5,163 2008) so it looks like Renault were not to keen to sell the Twingo maybe as there was no money in it!!!

Post by: Delaney on February 05, 2010, 12:47:16 pm
OK statoholics very sorry for delays but dealer platforms have been keeping me very busy i know 99.99% of you won't understand what that is but for any one that does then you can appreciate what is involved.

Model                January 2010
AGP                         2
A500                      66

Total                      68

This is the lowest month for AGP registrations since February 09 when 1 was registered but Jan Feb are Pre Reg Change months and there have not been to many ships in from the Med in Jan so it could be part of the reason as well as the fact a lot of people know a new car is coming.

There is a very interesting statoholic detail on the A500's and that is that in 3 of the 13 months 23% of A500 registrations (remember the first A500's where registered in Jan 09) the same number of White A5600's have been registered. I know how sad of me to notice these details but it is all in the detail!!!!

I can also let you know that for Feb Red is the #1 A500 colour registered so far.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on March 05, 2010, 01:04:35 pm
OK statoholics very sorry for delays but not only dealer platforms but other issues have precluded me from having looked at these stats until an hour or so ago although I had looked at Italy’s already this morning. So here it is:-

Model                January 2010    February 2010          YTD
AGP                         2                      3                        5
A500                      66                    30                       96

Total                      68                    33                      101

At least AGP registrations for February improved on the 1 registered in Feb 09 but the YTD is still down on the 14 of 09 and I can tell you that no Black AGP’s have been registered at all this year and that includes this week’s registrations. So if you are the owner of a Black AGP you have a very very rare car with only 63 registered last year.

The A500 has registered 2 less than Feb 09 although the Jan & Feb 09 registrations were all the dealer reg’s prior to customer March regs (a few exceptions before anyone starts going I got mine on an 09). White although dominant as ever is facing a big challenge from Black which is a bit different to the AGP!! I can let you know that of the 46 A500 10 plates so far this week Grey has been the rarest colour.

I can also let you know that for Mar Red is the #1 AGP colour (in fact it is the only colour for March AGP registrations) registered so far. So it looks as though the mighty white has fallen as the #1 choice for AGP’s (with the 38.87% share topping that White had last year)

Any questions or reg info please feel free to ask not just about Abarth if you have a querry.

I was one of those 63 feels strange too have a car that rare when ever  talk to some one about the car now I can say that it is 1 of 63 09 plated black AGP  ;D

Do you have access to the number of A500's supplied in the UK in each colour? If i've missed it I apologise and will happily be led by the ear to the right place! But if I haven't missed it I'd really like to know. Numbers to date would be fine, no need for monthly breakdowns!
Many thanks

Rich / Trooper if you look at the bottom of page 7 of this thread. Anyway here it is again.

This is a thread allways worth a look as the information i have is very difficult to obtain! And i also include data on Europe as well from time to time the UK is a prime Abarth market for FGA Italy is No.1 but UK and Germany vi for 2nd place.

Well statoholics here it is the 2009 final figures

RED is the colour in terms of December registrations. AGP's had 62.5% in Red and for A500 it was the equal highest month with 18 in Red and the highest month in % of month registrations.

So here it is

           Dec       YTD
A500    89        1134
AGP     24          247

Total   113       1381

Come del gioco di coloure

I will now reveal all as a YE bonus full year detail of Registarations

             A500     %           AGP    %
White      693    61.11          96   38.87
Black       191    16.84          63   25.51
Grey        150    13.23          NA
Red         100      8.82         88    35.63

Total      1,134                   247

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on March 10, 2010, 08:19:32 am
Well statoholics here is some extra info.

The GPA is the most exclusive car in the B sector with the YTD of 5 there is one quirk in the sector figures and that is the 3 old Ford Ka's that have been registered in Jan and Feb obviouisly found at the back of a Ford franchise's yard. The new Ka produced in FGA's Tychy plant on the 500 platform is in the A sector. The Subaru Justy is the next lowest in the B sector but that is in double figures.

In fact in the B sector as you will all know the Alfa Mito is a Grande Punto with a different body (and no 5 door option) the difference in registrations YTD is just 40 units. I have mentioned the 'Mito effect' previously and the issues that will result in so watch out.

Back to a subject that is very sad to see and that is the continued decline of SAAB who prior to GM used to produce such good cars the 95/96 900 the fantastic little Quantum racing car and the Sonetts.
YTD  2009  2010       
9-3   792    160
9-5    99      52
It is hard to see quite what Spyker are going to do!!!!!

Post by: Delaney on April 07, 2010, 05:11:56 pm
Well statoholics although tomorrow (Thursday 8th) the final figures can be confirmed for March registrations it is though fairly unlikely that any changes will take place as AFRL (Automated First Registration & Licensing) tends to ensure completeness by this stage.

March 2010 has seen the highest numbers of Abarth's ever registered seeing a 25.88% increase over the previous highest month (March 09)

Well RED is THE colour for the A500 the number of Red A500's registered in March 2010 is more than double that achieved in each of the best ever months for red A500's being registered Oct 09 & Dec 09.

However RED for the AGP for 2010 has fallen from #1 to #3 and the lack of Black AGP's has been quelled with 36.6% of March AGP registrations being Black so the exclusivity factor has reduced slightly.

Interestingly despite March being the month with the highest monthly registrations for the quarter Jan-Mar it is 2 units down on Oct-Dec but Feb was as a pre reg month low if you compare the 33 units to the previous pre reg month Aug with 59.

Post by: Delaney on April 07, 2010, 06:18:20 pm
Ohhps after all that i didn't put any numbers in!!! That is what you want isn't it????!!!??

Model                January 2010    February 2010   March 2010             YTD
AGP                         2                      3                30                       35
A500                      66                    30               257                     353

Total                      68                    33               287                     388

I made a slight mistake in my earlier post regarding Oct-Dec qtr to Jan-Mar qtr the difference of 2 refered to A500's only the difference on AGP's was 18 so 20 units less Jan-Mar compared to Oct-Dec. Sorry about that.

Post by: Delaney on April 08, 2010, 08:12:32 am
Well lloyd does do a summary on page 1 of this thread but seeing as it is you DF i will do the maths for you and detail how its done.

      Model     AGP           A500     Total by yr
Year

2008            100               0           100    (source lloyd excellent summary pg1)
2009            247           1,134       1,381    (source my posts bottom pg7 and rptd top pg9)
2010 end Q1   35              353         388    (source my post yesterday) 

TOTAL         382            1,487       1,869
                 20.44%        79.56%            % of Total Abarth registrations to end Q3 2010

Well 2010 does show only 9.02% of total Abarth registrations being AGP's (compared to the overall 20.44% over the total since the brand returned) but i have already mentioned that there is a model change so figures will be on the low side. If you were looking for an AGP would you buy one now? or would you wait for the MultiAir model with the challenging looks (i was going to say styling but felt that i may prove to be unpopular by using that word!!!).

The other major reason for the big numbers in March aside from the new plates is the end of scrappage so i can not see these high numbers appearing for some time again. It will be interesting to see just what the numbers will be like on the 500C but i cant see that you will need more than the fingers on your hands to count the registrations for these.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on April 19, 2010, 11:38:06 am
Well statoholics and it was good to meet lloyd yesterday although i didn't realise it at the time but jogged my mind into putting some extra statholic info up.

The exclusivity of the AGP is maintainedit remains the lowest cummulative registered units in the B segmentand now only 2 remain in that category with registrations under 100. The Ford quirk i refered to last month has gone as Ford obviously was paying big registration bonuses for Q1 to its dealers with 601 of the old model Ka being 10 plated. I bet a fair few of these end up as courtesy cars for bodyshops and rental cars. It is still the Subaru Justy that is closest to The GPA in lowest registrations in the B sector.

The GP Mito split has moved the way of the GP for March.

One for the statoholics - there were 20 A500s registered on the island of Jersey in 2009 which on a per capita basis would equate to over 12,000 in the UK!

Well the Beausire family have all probablly got one each (the people that own Le Mont Saint Garage - the Abarth franchise)

On the Isle of Gurnsey there are 2 dealers Polar Auto Italia and a service agent Bel Royal Motors amazing eh considering the lack of cover in mainland UK!

The Channel Isles are used for certain perposes by manufacturers to assist in the registration acheivements Spellbound Holdings for those that know what im talking about!!!!

It certainly doesn't help that we've known about the AGP's replacement since late last year.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on May 11, 2010, 07:55:25 am
As Alex has quite rightly commented and i have in earlier posts this is the crux of the AGP issue
https://www.abarthforum.co.uk/general-abarth/abarth-registration-data/msg49717/#msg49717

As a very niche product the customers are going to be very knowledgeable and the issue for the new one which has been many time on the forum and in the press concerning the Fiat model from which the Abarth is derivied is the 'look' so it is a weigh up of that against the Multi Air etc to be found in the new offering.

I am unable to comment to much on the AGP issue. I can put an annaolgy and that a certain manufacture had cars of a similar size and a little business unit called AVO and sold as ROAD cars (and that is the VERY important bit) versions Twin Cam, RS 1600 which used the same Type 49 shell as the Mexico. I trust those that understand what i am talking about here will get the jist.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Hozepipe on May 11, 2010, 08:21:37 am
I presume I'm not alone in almost exclusively associating the Abarth brand with the 500s of the 60's and 70's.
I probably wouldn't have bought anything else with an Abarth badge on it, so just wondered what the brands expectations were on their ability to effectively market new models based on anything other than the 500 and its possible variants.
Surely it cannot be economic for Fiat to maintain a brand based on the price/volumes of the AGP (before the new model announcement or otherwise)?
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: AlexK on May 11, 2010, 09:58:45 am
The AGP does very well in other markets.  In my personal opinion, however, in the UK it inherits too much 'baggage' from it's Fiat brother.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: AnonAbarth on May 11, 2010, 10:55:28 am
I am one of the few on this forum old enough to have followed and supported Abarth racing exploits back in their heyday. However I do not associate today's branding and cars with those days though there are many that do. It is relatively easy to market the modern 500 as a descendant of the original and attach some of the marque's racing heritage to the brand but more difficult with the GPA. The latter doubtless has to carry the baggage of the poor reputation of Fiat and their dealers in this country. In my opinion the GPA is a good, likeable car but is up against some stiff competition in its price sector.

Although the IRC is getting some exposure on Eurosport, there is no real sporting cachet attached to the GPA and, compared to the competition, it is quite pricey for what is, on paper, a relatively average technical spec.

I doubt that the new model will attract a greater proportion of buyers, it is hardly better looking or value. Plus, there are few dealers and the fact they are located at Fiat dealer premises is hardly likely to allay any worries on the part of prospective purchasers.

I myself said that I would never buy another Fiat after the problems with Fiat dealers and a brand new Barchetta. It was only the fact that one of those dealers offered me a damn good price to take the thing off my hands that persuaded my to buy the GPA. At least, thus far, it has proved to be a reliable, fun car and thankfully Autoworld have been equally good.

I have been perceived in the past as anti Abarth and anti forum. Neither of those is the case. I don't see the brand through rose-tinted glasses like so many and hate marketing bullsh!t though am resigned to its necessity in today's world.

Well from a statoholic perspective yes it does. As usual Italy is numero uno but YTD the GPA in the Italian market is well down on YTD 2009 (which was greater than 500 units) but the Italians are well aware of the new model and doubtless is having an effect on reg #'s currently. Germany is #2 for the GPA but appears to have the same Model Revision anticipation influence on registrations with YTD not yet over a ton. Greece is a very good market for the GPA also which given the economic problems that exist there is very interesting.

In terms of baggage im sure that most of us can aggree that the Abarth dealers in the UK are premier league FGA dealers but that is for other threads. It is good to hear of AnonAbarths satisfaction with Autoworld.

Well here we go statoholics here is the May 10 data

Model   Jan 10   Feb 10   Mar 10   Apr 10   May 10      YTD
                     
AGP   2   3   30   3   3      41
A500   66   30   257   132   89      574
                     
Total   68   33   287   135   92      615

I can tell you that if you have a 2010 registered RED AGP you have a very rare car as there are only 9 of these and none have been registered in April and May.

In terms of A500 dont go for WHITE if you want exclusivity and in fact BLACK in 5 months YTD has matched 70% of Total 2009 registrations. RED well 100 A500's were registered in 2009 and to the end of May 10 there have been 88 registered so in 2010 GREY is the exclusive colour which i'm more than happy about.

This month marks 2 years of Abarth in the UK market with registrations of 2,216 units

Well here we go statoholics here is the June 10 data

Model   Jan 10   Feb 10   Mar 10   Apr 10   May 10   June 10    YTD
                     
AGP           2          3          30          3            3            3       44

Well John I have finally cracked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This goes all the way back to 09 July i didnt want to say anything on Sunday in case i had a last minuet problem but the frustration is over. 

STATOHOLIC TIME

I am pleased to provide the following for the August 2010 & YTD UK new vehicle registrations now with both new models.

Model                  Aug 10     YTD
500                        36         798
500C                        9          38

AGP                         1          45
APE                         5          29

TOTAL  ABARTH       51        910

August 2009 saw 59 vehicles registered so down slightly for the month YonY but YTD is well ahead of the 761 for YTD 2009.

Yes that is correct 1 AGP was registered in August and it was White so is that anyone on here or is it a DR.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data

Sir, the word 'encyclopedic' was invented for you.

Thats not what my wife calls it 'petrol/diesel head' when she is being complimentary but i deal with masses of data all the time and my 'forensic' ability is substantial. In fact Chris555(formerly Olpoyob) and wampa thought that i was more obssessive than even they were at one time.

So - Come del gioco di colore!!

This is the colour split for AGP full year 2009 and YTD to end Aug 2010

White      117     40.07%
Red           98     33.56%
Black         77     26.37%

So Black is the colour to have if you want to be exclusive and here is a statotastic fact in the 8 months of 2010 Black AGP's have been registered in just 3 of them (and they were consecutive) and that accounted for 18.2% of all Black AGP's ever registered in the UK 2009 2010.

Trust this has given you your statoholical fix for the day.

Fascinating. Seems white is the most popular colour.

I wonder what are the figures for A500C - excluding these dealer demonstators and Abarth's own cars. I know, I'm being picky but good honest numbers are what I like to read. No spin, no massaging or no creative accounting.

Now this is the right thread for my inquiry  :whistle:

Surprised to see red so popular.

That's pretty much all that's been registered so far, given the odd one or two.  We'll have to wait a while for customer deliveries and registrations to trickle through before we can see any kind of trend.  And, given the glacial pace these things are moving out of the factory, we could be waiting quite a while.

Post by: Delaney on September 09, 2010, 06:41:43 pm
Well i can let you know that BLACK is the rarest colour for the A500C (so far).

There is another issue with the A500C which i have also been trying to sort is the BiColour classification under colours. My current data tends to suggest that the Scorpion/Gara (Exoticaholic's choice) is shown under WHITE (as the main chassis is white) and obviously Pista/Campovolo is under GREY i await some feedback on this one in fact Exoticaholic you might be able to assist on this when your YTM arrives (I will PM you about this).

The split of the 38 A500C between 'the network' and customers
Well customers - on the forum  fizzio has a Grey A500C but that was a 1st Sept 60 plate so not in the 38 but around 10 would be customer cars.

I trust this goes some way to an answer.

So my logical theory is completely wrong!!!!!!!!
My current data tends to suggest that the Scorpion/Gara (Exoticaholic's choice) is shown under WHITE (as the main chassis is white)

So the 2 Blacks must be 2 Scorpion/Gara Bi Colours!!!

Many thanks Alex it shows that assumptions should be verrified i just didn't think to check about solid black.

OK here is the new registration month data!!

I can tell you that A500 (not A500C) increased on last years September figure with 21 more than last years 150 for September.

The 500C has in 1 month matched all AGP registrations for the whole of 2010 as one of the remaining Black AGP was registered to Abarthisti Chuff in September and it looks very nice indeed see the Members Cars section a very historic car as one of the only AGP on a '60' plate.

Model                  Sept 10     YTD
500                        171        969
500C                        46         84

AGP                         1           46
APE                        26           55

TOTAL  ABARTH      244       1,154

RED i am really really suprised that we had no red Abarths at Prescott with the information i have i find it really strange.

I have got October figures at a high level currently.

A500 & C        69      Sector A  this market is dow 49.5%    Oct 10 (9.6k units) over Oct 09 (19k units)
AGP/APE           6     Sector B this market is down 37.6%    Oct 10 (45.7k units) over Oct 09 (37.6k units)

Oct 10 Total    75

I will do further analysis later.

october 10: 69 A500's
That's bang in line with the overall segment drop.

Mind you, the more exclusive the better in my eyes.

I remember some industry bod saying that cars become 'visible' once they've passed the 3000 sales figure. Nowhere near that yet.

Happened to spot this on Italiaspeed in a generally downbeat story about Fiat's performance in the UK. I know that the loss of the scrappage scheme and the big BSM contract will have had an impact but I'd be interested to know Fiat/Abarth's take on the situation.


"Abarth ended the year on a downwards note, it shifted 87 units in December, compared to 113 units during the final month of 2009, as the Scorpion brand still falls a long way short of achieving viability since its return to the UK. That added up to a year-on-year fall of 23.01 percent, only slightly underperforming the UK market which meant its share remained static on 0.07 percent."

I get the message !!!!!!!!!!

So here we go here are the totals for 2010 in honour of the king of Yorkshire himself Lloyd here is the Punto data

Abarth Grande Punto     46        the last ever UK registered one was the Black one registered in September
Abarth Punto Evo          87        this does not compare well to the AGP if you consider that the APE registrations where 6 months
                                            with July-Dec 10 and the AGP for the same period July-Dec 09 managed 139 units

If you own a Red APE you have a very very rare car which is strange as with the AGP it was not far behind white.

Its Monday so as promised statoholics here is some more. I will continue with APE data i know simer did at least request 500 data but just for now i will play Come del gioco di colore!! for APE

So 2010 saw the introduction in to the UK market of the Abarth Punto Evolution with the first cars being UK plated in July so we have 6 months of registrations obviously with the July seeing the dealer demos being plated then there after it is more customer choice in colours. So with the total of 87 cars being registered in the 6 month period


White     32   37%
Grey       25   29% the new for Punto colour that was not available on the AGP
Black      16   18%
Red        14   16%

TOTAL    87

It is quite interesting to tell you that in Month 1 July of the 24 APE's registered only 3 of them were White which was the lowest of any of the 4 colours and Grey which is #2 over the 6 months was top with 11. But every month since July White has been #1 in APE registrations.

Does that tally with the fact that a lot of the demo's were grey?  Certainly the 4 Evo's I saw in July (2 of which were at Goodwood) were all Campovolo flavoured.

Interesting that the red and black have switched places over the AGP colours, where black was the more exclusive.

OK Statoholics here is the 500 data very sorry simer for the delay since Monday

Here i will present the end of 2010 and the Full year figures.

                                                                                       UNIT
            OCT       NOV       DEC       FULL YEAR       2009 FY  INCREASE
500        47          67          62         1,145             1,134         11        .97%

500C      22          27          14            147               0            147

Total     69          94           76         1,292              1,134        158   13.93%

These are strong figures as the A sector declined 5.62% 2010 over 2009 registrations  186,416  to 197,507. Obviously the end of scrappage being a factor in the sector but the big fallers were Toyota with both its cars in this sector Aygo & IQ maybe the image has been tarnished by all the recall issues and the sort of people that buy Toyotas would be very influenced by this.

How about Come del gioco di colore??

Very interesting when we look at just the A500 (excl A500C) one colour has gone up very significantly and despite from Aug production Grey has been the standard where White was previously it is NOT Grey.

So come on Stato's What do you recon the Black Grey Red White split is of the 1,145.

Yeah, I'd go with red... I've noticed more new forumites checking in with red A500s, so I'll say they're the big increase. At a guess: 25% red, 45% white, 20% grey and 10% black?

Well back to Come del gioco di colore??

Yes simer & jazzdevil with a 78% increase it is indeed Red which in 2009 saw 100 registered (8.82% of 2009 total) and in 2010 178 registered (15.55% of 2010 total)

Black saw good growth as well which in 2009 had 191 registered (16.84% of 2009 total) and for 2010 236 registered (20.61% of 2010 total)

Any of you statoholics care to guess the number of Grey A500 registered in 2010???

Well done ABagp you have obviously looked back and seen that for 2009 there were 150 Grey A500 registered in the UK and you are very close with your 160 it is in fact the case that there were 166 Grey A500's registered in the UK in 2010 so representing 14.49% of 2010 total UK registered A500's the 150 in 2009 represented 13.23% of that years total.

So after all that you should be able to work out that with a 2010 total of 1,145 the rarest colour is Grey 166 followed by Red 178 then in 2nd place black with 236 so leaving 565 White A500's registered in the UK in 2010.

As i mentioned in a previous post it is interesting to see that despite Grey now being the standard colour which was previously White it is the rarest colour.

Colour Choice Chart A500

         2009           2010
1st     White          White

The data you are after was on page 15 in relation to 2010 APE registrations by colour but here it is again.


White     32   37%
Grey       25   29% the new for Punto colour that was not available on the AGP
Black      16   18%
Red        14   16%

TOTAL    87

So if he owns an APE as at the end of December 87 is the answer and you have the split of the colours if he wants to know how many others exist of his colour.

Hozepipe i am working on your request but it involves some more tweaking.

Statoholic update

Just to let you know that the UK market was the biggest in terms of units for 2010 outside of Italy. We beat Germany! Yes the UK market registered 37.5% more A500 & C's than those registered in Germany they did still register more AGP/APE's but not as many as in 2009 so the difference is only just in 3 digits in terms of units.

Thses are the full year figures
                      2010      2009
FIAT               5,562      4,345
FERRARI             493         548
ROLLS ROYCE       74           21

I belive that the Abarth figures are included in the FIAT figure of 5,562 for 2010 the only other place is in その他 = Other

These are not detailed yet but here we go

A500 (all varriants)   68
APE                       10

Total                      78

Both A & B sectors are down over 33% Jan 11 to Jan 10 so a positive for Abarth in Jan 11

Post by: Delaney on March 09, 2011, 01:21:56 pm
OK Statoholics sorry for the lack of my usual high level of data but lets deal with January first

Jan 2011       PY Jan 2009

A500    49            66
A500C  19              0

           68            66

APE      10             0
AGP       0             2

Total    78            68

So OK now for February

February 2011    PY Feb 2010
                                                   YTD
A500     14             30                      63
A500C   10               0                      29

            24             30                      92

APE       11              0                       21
AGP        0              3

Total      35            33                      113

So APE registrations were good for February with 1 unit more than in January and i can let you know that despite March being the new '11' plate month in the first few days you only need the digits of one hand to count how many APE's have been registered. In fact February saw the number of UK registered APE's exceed 100 that has been 8 months for that to happen.

A500's well down compared to Feb 10 in fact combined with A500C's it is still less than Feb 10. On the colour front White even though it is now a cost option is by far the most popular with 55.55% of this years A500's registrations to the end of Feb and i can let you know that 50% of March registrations so far are White also. As at the end of Feb Red was in the #2 position for the A500 with a healthy 19% share so leaving thje remaining 25.5% betweeen Black & Grey.

Per KaiK's querry

I've just had a new PC installed this morning so i haven't had time to sort all my data out yet as i'm testing varrious applications but here for the true Statoholics amoung you:-
I have got October figures at a high level currently.

A500 & C        69      Sector A  this market is dow 49.5%    Oct 10 (9.6k units) over Oct 09 (19k units)
AGP/APE           6     Sector B this market is down 37.6%    Oct 10 (45.7k units) over Oct 09 (37.6k units)

Oct 10 Total    75

I will do further analysis later.

Above is my post for Oct 10 figures which shows the APE number (yes it was APE's only. The last AGP registered in the UK (as at 08/03/11) was a Black one registered Sept 10 HOWEVER THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT THAT WILL BE THE LAST ONE EVER!!)

November 2010    15  APE's registered in UK
December 2010    11  APE's registered in UK

50% of the Nov Dec APE's registrations were White.

Trust this deals with your enquiry.

Hi Delany, did you get anywhere with your research as to how many 695's have entered the UK?

I think I remember that 1,597 were being produced and would assume approx 10-20% would be for us.

Thanks

That is no where near the number that will stay in the U.K. though, the RHD are desirable to other countries without Abarth dealers.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on March 10, 2011, 09:35:30 am
The figure of 152 is correct BUT that was stated as the supply to the UK market and not total RHD supply but due to the way it has been delt with as commented above RHD cars are required for in Europe UK, IoM, Jersey, Guernsey along with Republic of Ireland, Malta and Cyprus. All of these islands have a very long and historic association with mainland UK speak English so i think you might understand what could be possible!! A number of these locations are shall we say tax havens so a very strong market for such products.
Other major RHD markets Japan (there is an Abarth network here but supply and demand) the West Indies again a close association with UK, Australasia most of Southern Africa, India, Hong Kong.

I might be able to comment a bit more in the future.

Right i can reveal that the Abarth 695's are classified as 'Previously used or registered abroad before first registration in UK' so do not show up in the new vehicle registrations.

Here for your information are Audi R8 Registration details

Full Year
2009    408
2010    443

2 months 2011
65

So in fact the standard A500 with 63 registraions for Jan Feb 11 is more exclusive than the Audi R8. The 2011 figures so far for the R8 are up on 2010 13 & 6 = 19 2010  55 & 10 = 65 2011.

Do i understand correctly that you have a Blue 695 on order?

OK Statoholics i have had a chance to look at the data and can give the Satao low down for March 2011 on Abarth new vehicle registrations in the UK.

Well with 288 cars registered March as expected with the new plate saw 71.8% of YTD registrations take place in the month with the A500 seeing 195 registered of the 258 YTD so 75.5%.

What about Come del gioco di colore??

White white white white white if you want a more exclusive Abarth it is not the colour to go for. I am stunned that despite for the A500 the NCO being the best colour and not BNW as it was until 2011 MC in Sept 10 that White is the colour that dominates. For the A500 almost 52% of YTD are white and March 11 confirms that with 98 of the 195 March 11 A500 registrations being white. For the a500 Red remains #2 choice with 18.2% of YTD registrations.

APE white is #1 as well with 25 of this yers registrations of 59 being white if you want exclusive with the APE then RED is the colour 8 in total this year and only 22 in total have been registered in the UK.

I work with Italian firms. There is no logic.

Now, to the registration figues. You do all know this is going to end in tears don't you?  :-\

On the one hand I'm delighted. It will help residuals no end and I continue to drive one of the most exclusive cars on the road  :thumb:

But these figures are truely dire for FIAT SPA, when you take into account their investment (and that of the 20 or so UK dealers). I've no doubt the picture is no better in other European markets.

There's no way FIAT will continue with Abarth in the current way, at this rate, at least not in the long term, unless the market share increases dramatically. These are not hand build supercars that trickle off the production line at a huge profit.

FIAT SPA will want Abarth to stand on its own two feet and I recall they declared a target of it being 'in profit' within two years of launch. I would be surprised if that has been achieved.

On a positive note the cars are fantastic (although marketed in typical Italian "Field of Dreams" style - that is, "I have built it so they will come"). Abarth as a brand is surely highly prized for its heritage alone and at least FIAT have positioned it appropriately in that respect.

There are too many failed performance brands that have ceased being sold here - Renault Alpine springs to mind - where manufacturers have not been able to achieve sustainable targets.

What will happen?

Unless there is a dramatic upturn in sales I think the APE's long term future is in doubt. They made 9 RHD versions in April for heaven's sake!

When the current crop of contracts are up, Abarth will be offered to all FIAT dealers (I find it an absolute pain that I have an hour's drive when I have two FIAT showrooms only 15 minutes away in opposite directions, and both part of the same group as my Abarth dealer!).

That said, I love the brand, love the cars and hope Abarth survives and grows (but not too much - I also love the exclusivity too  :thumb:).

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: DraigFlag on May 06, 2011, 07:53:39 pm
The 500 sells all day long. Abarth have to careful with their pricing though. It's still a small cheap car, and the base spec is good value for what you get. But certain things are overpriced (SS kit and Monza etc) and servicing costs put people off.

Even if they only sell a few APE's, it's no big deal as all Abarth cars are made in the same factory on the same production line as their Fiat equivalents so i can imagine production costs would stay consistent.

And what the hell am i going on about again?  ???
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: GreyApe on May 06, 2011, 08:25:54 pm
Could I just add a sobering thought?

April - main month of the year for new car registrations. 108 Abarths. 20 dealers? I thinks that's roughly the number. Just over 5 cars each, on average.  :o

The dealer I bought from has 25% of showroom space given over to Abarth. Sales per square metre?  :'( :banghead: :deadhorse:

But I say it again. Not much wrong with the product.

What rubbish.  Abarth was relaunched as a niche brand and will stay that way.  It's not intended (or designed) to chase volume sales.

Grey is the standard colour on Evo because that's the colour they want to be seen on the roads.  It's somewhat ironic, though, that most people have been paying the extra to opt for white.

Are you joking  :crazy:

There were 366,101 cars registered in March in the UK.

Abarth sold 9 APEs in April.

That's nine cars. Niche?

FIAT is here to to make a profit from Abarth not satisfy our need for a rare hatchback.

right back at you.

I was talking globally too, and using the APE as an example.

If I was on the Abarth board I'd be worried. I'm not so I sleep soundly.

Anyway, who cares? Such a nice experience being part of an exclusive club. So many people have never heard of Abarth, ask me what the car is, give the thumbs up, wrench their necks off when it passes... :thumb:

Let's put this into perspective.

Sales for 2010.

Abarth had 0.07% of UK car market. That is TINY not niche.

So who had same, similar or less market share?

Rolls Royce 0.02%
Proton 0.04%
Perudua 0.04%
MG 0.01%  ???
Lotus 0.03%
Infiniti 0.01%
Hummer 0%
Dodge 0.04%
Daimler 0%
Daihatsu 0.01%
Corvette 0%
Chrysler 0.07%
Cadillac 0%
Bentley 0.05%

Fiat had 2.61% market share

There were over 4 x more Porsches registered than Abarths  8) Now that's what I call exclusive.

Post by: AlexK on May 06, 2011, 10:48:08 pm
Perspective?  OK.

Abarth's sales globally and in the UK exceeded targets.  To the extent that extra production had to be sought.

Enough.

which is why we will keep seeing Abarth Uk at major events and hopefully we will be given freebie tickets to show off the cars to support Abarth UK  ;D

OK Statoholics it is that time again

May 2011 just in (well i had it on Friday but i was off so sorry for the delay)

A500               57
A500C             15

500's Total       72

AGP                 0   
APE                 9    yep the same as last month


All Abarth        81


Here are the figures for the 5 months Jan-May YTD

A500              393
A500C            119

500's Total      512

AGP                  1   
APE                 77


All Abarth       590


In terms of colours well for APE's RED is still the rare colour to have with 12.987% of YTD being that colour but Black is gaining in popularity in this years registrations.

A500 just 14.5% have been Grey and 51.9% have been white so it is Red & Black with the other 33.6%.

In terms of year on year A500 are down May 10   89  May 11   57 and 5 month YTD May 10  574  May 11  393

Just on the FGA front Fiat does have a product in the TOP 20 of NCR's 2011 which Renault, Citroen, Honda, Skoda, Seat & Hyundai do not although obviously Nissan (owned by Renault) has the Cashcow in the top 20 and Peugeot (PSA group which is Citroen & Peugeot) has the 207 in and VAG has Audi and VW in (Audi,Bugatti,Lamborghini,Seat & Skoda).

The group is missing the Panda big time in volume sales but the new one will be here soon.

Post by: DanDey on June 06, 2011, 11:23:15 am
interesting read on figures, the red APE looks great btw Daron's yesterday was dazzling!

and good to see the ratio of 500c to 500 is much better than we were discussing yesterday, I would think once they have the manual box in the 500c the sales will again jump.

as for figures being down, you can't compare 12 months ago to what the market is today, money is a big issue everywhere.

Delaney what would be a interesting comparison is how many sold 3 yrs old. I believe alot of people change cars on average every 3 years, so therefore in theory next year could see better figures?

Post by: Delaney on July 08, 2011, 03:03:58 pm
Very sorry Statoholics in getting your monthly fix i have had the data since the begining of the week but things are very busy looking at other data.

June 2011
A500               62
A500C             29

500's Total       91

AGP                 0   
APE                 13


All Abarth        104

Here are the figures for the 6 months Jan-June YTD

A500              454 * this has been adjusted as the press car A500C as used on TP & at Goodwood is a Manual
A500C            149    and one of my filters is transmission

500's Total      603

AGP                  1   
APE                 90


All Abarth       694


We have had a full year of Abarth Punto Evo's now as the first ones were registered in July 10 and i can tell you that RED is the most exclusive APE to have with less being registered in a year than White A500's registered in June 11. So the 12 month total for APE's is 177.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: DraigFlag on July 08, 2011, 07:14:24 pm
Thanks for posting! Will be interesting to see if the Top Gear episode has affected the sales of A500C's or just A500's.

Guess we'll see next month!
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on July 13, 2011, 08:01:13 am
Just a few more details on the half year position for registrations.

The A sector that the A500 falls under has declined a fairly substantial -22.7% 2010 (109,499) over 2011 (84,640).
However the A500 has actually increased its share of the A sector up from .63% 2010  to .71% 2011 due to its reduction being only -12.74%, 691 units 2010 to 603 units 2011.

Other comments on the A sector:  Well even without its appearance on TopGear on Sunday (10/07/11) the Nissan Pixo is the major faller with a -64.12% redudction and a scrappage scheme favourite the Kia Picanto is down -45.63% along with its other group product the Hyundai I10 down -39.27%. These cars combined to have 28.76% of the 2010 A sector market that has reduced to just 20.77% of the 2011 A sector market !!

Fiat has a very limited range of Pandas available in the Uk due to the new Panda out in September so there has been a major reduction of 2011 over 2010 which the group had anticipated and obviously next year great things are expected when it makes its appearance in the UK market.

Oh i do but you have to have your statoholic whits about you!!


Anyway Statoholics here is (late yet again sorry) the data for July


July 2011
A500               44
A500C             29   Yes the same # as in June

500's Total       73

AGP                 0   
APE                 13  Yes the same # as in June


All Abarth        86

Here are the figures for the 7 months Jan-July YTD

A500              498 * this has been adjusted as the press car A500C as used on TP & at Goodwood is a Manual
A500C            178    and one of my filters is transmission

500's Total     676

AGP                  1   
APE               103


All Abarth       780


Abarth Punto Evo's now I was telling you last month that RED is the most exclusive APE to have that is still the case but only just as over the last 3 months twice as many REDs have been registered than BLACKS! In fact GREY has now overtaken BLACK in YTD APE registrations.

August will show the usual lul prior to the September new plate hype.

Just for the real Statoholic's amoungst you.

In August the first of 2 new products from the group to the UK market were registered.

There is just1 60 plate Lancia (Chrysler) Ypsilon
and 52 60 plate Lancia (Chrysler) Delta
Title: Re: Abarth registration data

All hail the Statto-King!  8)

Can't believe that at this rate there will be more AGPs than APEs in the UK... and even more incredulous that there are more Chrysler Delta's registered than total number of Abarth models in August!  :o
Title: Re: Abarth registration data

lancias registered..not sold, 53 demos i bet ;D
Title: Re: Abarth registration data

Sept 2011

A500      194
A500C      49

                 243

APE             24   
                       
Total          267


Well as an extra Statoholic treat on the Lancia (Chrysler) front there were 138 Ypsilons registered in Sept so that'll be the dealer stock and to add to the 52 Deltas reg in Aug we saw 103 Lancia (Chrysler) Deltas reg in Sept. Yes there are 39 dealers so you can do the math to work out appropriate dealer demos!

I was shocked when i saw the retail list on the Delta earlier in the year the top model (Limited) lists at £25,695 and it is still another £250 for heated seats £800 for Xenon £950 for a sunroofon top!!

78 Abarths registered in December 2011, waiting for Mr Delaney to provide breakdown of stats!

Stats for Nov and Dec 2011 would be greatly appreciated.  :)
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on February 03, 2012, 02:32:45 pm
Statoholic fix
Dec 11

500   67
APE   11

TOT  78

Full year 1,134 A500's which although down on 1,292 of 2010 was actually a greater penetration of a sector (A) that was down 14.4% YonY

APE's did 157 2011 compared to 133 for 2010 although that was a mixed year of both AGP & APE.

For those interested the Chrysler (Lancia) Ypsilon (the 4 door 500) did 352 in its first year. The Delta did 232 and in fact it did so few in Dec that despite production having finished at the end of July on the AR 159 more 159s were registered in Dec than Deltas!

The last few SAAB's were being registered in December with 5 9-3's and 3 9-5's there will i'm sure be some plated in 2012 which will be very rare ones.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on February 06, 2012, 09:49:07 am
The data is in for Jan 2012

A500's  48
APE's     1

Total    49

So whoever has a White APE registered in Jan 2012 you are the only one although i havn't checked if it is a dealer demo.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: DavidU on February 06, 2012, 09:23:19 pm
Are these numbers unsustainable for the brand I wonder?!  ??? It's less than Bentley and other super brands and with a product priced at over 80% less, profits will not be looking too healthy. Time for upping the exposure of Abarth. How many Mini Cooper S's are sold? Those buyers need to be targeted and landed. Hopefully FIAT UK are taking note and will take action otherwise Abarth in the UK will follow Lancia and be no more.

Unsustainable, I think that March may paint a different picture.
Abarth were a little slow releasing their commercial terms for 2012 and with the good finance offers I think you'll find they will end quarter 1 in quite a strong position.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on February 07, 2012, 08:10:41 am
John is spot on with the commercial terms for 2012 and it wasn't just for the Abarth franchises!

It's less than Bentley and other super brands and with a product priced at over 80% less APE 2011 registrations 156   Aston Martin Cygnet (tarted up Toyota Yaris)2011 registrations 89. Lamborghini Gallardo 2011 registrations 77   Mercedes CL-Class 2011 registrations 152  Citroen C-Zero 2011 registrations 46.

Being a vehicle manufacture is a complex business and belive me the group is very commercially focused in what it does later in the year is the 500 MMR. If you want to be concerned for anyone then PSA are the manufacture with issues and given that it is their engine which goes in BMW's Mini it may be that they might have German owners sometime in the future although PSA have been talking to FGA again as well!

Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on April 12, 2012, 08:13:16 am
Hello Statoholics

I have been very very busy with things going on and hadn't even had a chance to review my data files but here goes.

           Feb 2012       Feb 2012 YTD              Feb 11     Feb 11 YTD

A500         27                    75                            24               92                Covers all A500 A500 & A500C
APE            4                       5                            11               22

Total         31                     80                            35             113

So as you can see A500 up on 2011 for the pre new reg month but down on YTD and APE was better than the last pre new reg month (Aug 11) but well down on the 11 units/month avg of the last 6 months of 2011.

So for the new reg month itself
            Mar 2012      Mar 2012 YTD              Mar 11     Mar 11 YTD

A500         256                  331                        250             342                Covers all A500 A500 & A500C
APE            26                     31                          38               59

Total        282                   362                         288             401


Well the March figures in the A sector where the A500 sits are down on a sector which is up YonY but exclusivity is always a good thing and obviously the APE is very unique.

Some chap welsh500 was asking about colours

Well if you own a Grey APE that has been registered this year you are one of only 4 the most common APE colour this year is White accounting for 35.4% of APE registrations.

As usual White makes up 40.78% of all A500's for 2012 registrations

Other rarities in the A sector the Toyota Yaris with an Aston Martin badge well 9 got registered in March brining the YTD to 27. Me thinks that they might have been looking for slightly better figures than that :whistle:

The other major entry in the A sector is the VW Up! 1,059 were registered in March with 22 having been reg in Feb.

The standard Fiat 500 is #1 in the A sector with 16% YTD.

Registrations won't help you because the DVLA are incompetent.  But figures from Abarth show that the conversion rate for 500 is nearly 50%.  I don't have anything for the Punto models off-hand.

Post by: Delaney on May 14, 2012, 07:12:36 pm
Well sorry late again i had the data 10 days ago!! Thank you for his excellence LLoyd in putting in the months total.

So here are the statoholic details

April 2012

Abarth Punto Evo     2      thats right and they were both Black which brings Black up to 30.30% of all APE's registered this year. 
At least the APE wasn't out done by the Aston Martin Cygnet that only had 2 registered in April as well (sorry for my previous error of putting in print last month it was a Toyota Yaris with an Aston Martin badge it is as everyone knows it is a Toyota iQ with an Aston Martin badge.)

Abarth 500C    13
Abarth 500       45

Other registration data well the Chrysler Delta had 25 registered in April that is 5 more than the car it is based on the Fiat Bravo. And yes i can confirm for all Alfaaholics that 1 Alfa 159 was registered in April so that is a 9 month old car as production ended in July. SAAB's are still being registered also with 21 9-3's being registered and 2 9-5's it was sad to see certain SAAB dealer groups put their business's into Administration.

Someone registered a Maybach in April also so sales are going well for them this year with 2 registered YTD and the LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR is on stream now with a further 10 going on for April thats 28 YTD.

Hello, all – first post:

Is it appropriate to register U.S. Abarths here? If so, I have a month-old Mexican-built beauty just waiting to be registered.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: lloyd on June 18, 2012, 08:31:09 pm
this thread is just a data bank recording numbers of abarths registered in the UK, month by month from the rintroduction of the brand.

however, if someone has access to registration data for the US, or Australia for that matter i don't see why you can't set up a similar thread for that info :thumb:

there is a separate thread for you to say hello

and, welcome from me :thumb:

Hello, all – first post:

Well as Lloyd says this is intended for UK new car registrations but i do have access to a fair few other markets data and i can tell you that May 2012 was the first full month of sales for the Mexican assembled and called in your market the Fiat 500 Abarth.  There were 4,003 Fiat 500's registered in the US for May 2012 and the YTD is 16,702.

In fact the 3,000 planned production for the 2012 model have all been sold (not yet registered as they still have to be produced at Toluca) so orders are now being taken for the 2013 model.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on June 28, 2012, 06:33:43 pm
Just a quick statoholic post

The UK market is very strong compared to much of Europe and in particular Italy to give you an idea here are the YTD to the end of May by sector units in ,000's.

      2011        2012     Down
A     148k         126k     15%   Typical car in sector Fiat 500
B     264k         213k      19%  Typical car Fiesta Punto
C     121k           91k      25%  Typical car Golf Focus
D       56k           42k      25%   Typical car BMW 3  Audi A4  Merc C
E       12k             9k      25%   Typical Merc E  BMW 5 Audi A6

       601k        481k      20% That is a very substantial 120k units

In the other sectors I can tell you that being a Porsche dealer in Italy is very tough currently as is being an Abarth dealer.

Well STATOHOLICS I am late again sorry had the figures on Thursday but here we go for June 2012
   MONTH                  YTD
A500        74      433
A500C        25      129

SUB TOT        99      562

APE           4        45

TOTAL       103      607

On the APE front there were no Red APE registered this month but 2 Grey ones which is 25% of all Grey APE’’s registered this year. The YTD figure is though a -50% delta on the YTD of 90 this time last year.
On the A500/C front very strong figures for the month.

On other registrations for the group well it is return of the Chrysler 300C to the UK market in the rest of Europe it is the Lancia Thema and sneeked through 21 registered in May (HO and Dealer Demos) and 50 for June the official launch date which was mid month but that will be the peak for the year. In Europe the Thema has been selling for a little longer and the numbers mean that it rivaling the Citroen C6! In the UK the C6 has only managed 7 YTD although it did register 1 in June.

Has anyone got Wind the Renault remember I have mentioned this previously and none were registered in the UK in June at all has it run out of puff?

On the 4 door 500 front Lancia Chryslar Ypsilon July should see that over 1,000 have been registered in the UK.

I'll bet that is a load of new Pandas on the rental fleets.

Alfa had fab sales figures at the beginning of the Giulietta but they all seemed to be rentals for Hertz etc and now nobody is buying them and their sales are through the floor.

August 2012 saw 15 Abarths registered with a year to date of 691


2011 figures were 38 and 818

Obviously the figures reflect the gap in production whilst the range is refreshed

Only 15 cars registered in August 2012, probably explains why the reason Abarth UK decided to attend last night's Ace Cafe meet, to try and promote the brand so more cars can potentially be sold in the upcoming future.

Let's hope Abarth UK really gives marketing and promoting a really good go, the brand deserves it.

The details for Sept are 24 APE's and 224 500's and amazingly enough exactly 24 APE's were registered in Sept 11.

Here is a summary of APE's registrations for the current year.

   JAN   FEB   MAR   APR   MAY   JUN   JUL   AUG   SEP
                           
MONTH    1   4   26   2   8   4   5   0   24
                           
YTD   1   5   31   33   41   45   50   50   74


There are only 11 Red APE's registered this year and in addition 1 has been registered in Oct so there are now 12!

September also shows the first of the new Legends Blue colour being registered on the 500's.

You can add an APE for October, although it arrives in December, as I ordered mine this week  ;D
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: Delaney on October 05, 2012, 08:23:44 am
You can add an APE for October, although it arrives in December, as I ordered mine this week  ;D

Well it would be a factory order if your being told December delivery and the APE's are produced in Potenza and shipped out via Salerno if you ask your dealer for a status code in late November i can probablly tell you which ship it will be into Portbury on.

Anyway back to registration data more info on the APE since it came to the UK market with the first registrations in July 2010 to the end of Septeember 2012 there have been 317 registered in the UK. The most ever registered in a month was March 2011 when 38 were registered.

il gioco di colori
If you have a Red APE then you are one of only 56 well 57 now with the October registered car included. White is 36% of the 317 followed by Grey 24.9% and with these numbers you should be able to work out how many Black APE's have been.

It has cleared inspection after coming off the ship at Portbury so delivery instructions ie the transporter to SG Petch will be issued to ship yours and a number of other FGA products to that dealer.

OK Statoholics the data is out for December.

The most amazing number of all is that all Abarth registrations for the full year 2011 1,291 and for the full year 2012 it is 1,292  :whistle:

As most interest appears to come from the APE owners here is a quick review of the stats

Full Year 2011   156 APE's
Full Year 2012   104 APE's      5 on 61    45 on 12  and  54 on 62

So a 33.33% reduction of 2012 on 2011

Colours

Well 2012 has seen Red which had the lowest number of APE's registered in 2011 with 20% of all reg's decline to just 16.3% in 2012 with just 17 Red APE's registered for the year.

APE 2011    APE 2012   
# Reg    # Reg   Colour
33            31      GREY
31            17      RED
35            19      BLACK
57            37      WHITE
      
156           104     YEAR TOTAL

December 12 as a month had 120 Abarths registered so with 14 of those being APE's the other 106 were A500 varriants.

Hello statoholics some of you may have seen i have posted stats on the APE due to the ending of the Punto product in that section but i thought it was about time to bring the registration thread up to date with the fuller detail that i have available so here it is:-

      JUN   JULY   AUG
            
A500   MAN   98   79   24
   SEMI   18   14   6
            
TOTAL A500   116   93   30
            
            
APE      7   3   1
            
            
TOTAL ABARTH   123   96   31

Interesting stats for the year there have been NO semi 500's registered at all this year all 79 of the Blue A500's registred to the end of August this year have been manual.

Thanks for the stats Delaney.  :thumb:

Shocking, only 41 APE's have been sold in the UK during the first 8 months of 2013.

AGP's v APE's must be very close now in total numbers sold. Absolutely rare.

So that makes 114 registered in April?

Quite surprised actually as the dealers I spoke to were very keen to get another new registration in before the end of year

Hi Lloyd

Can you find out how many white 595 comps with manual box where registered on 62 plates please

I know white a rare colour for a 595 as most whites seem to be normal 500s

Hi Lloyd, First of all, thanks for all the work and effort you put in on the Forum - impressive :thumb: Sorry if the answer is on here somewhere but am I right in thinking the numbers you post are for all models of Abarth?  If that's right, I would love to know what the registered YTD is for A500's - any idea? Thanks in advance :)
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: lloyd on October 06, 2014, 07:24:23 pm
my data comes from the published SMMT monthly reports. They only give the totals for each manufacturer.

We used to have a forum member with inside knowledge who could break the figures down not only to models but even colours, unfortunately he has not been active for a while and so for now we don't have the detail that we used to have :thumbd:

I hope I don't thread on anyone's toes, but here is the new car registration data for October & November as it looks like no one has had the time to update them.

October 2014

New Vehicle Registrations - 117

Year To Date - 1,403

--------------------------------------

November 2014

New Vehicle Registrations - 113

Year To Date - 1,516

I assume December's data will be out in early Jan, but at the moment Abarth new car sales are approximately 16.8% up on 2013.
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: midlife crisis on January 07, 2015, 10:49:34 pm
December 2014 registration figures and full year figures are now in.

December 2014

New registrations: 126

(December 2013 - 54)

Total registrations for 2014: 1,642

(Total 2013 - 1,352)

That's an increase of 21.45% and Abarth's now have a whopping 0.08% market share in the UK (up from 0.07% in 2013). :)

Post by: midlife crisis on February 08, 2015, 07:00:00 pm
The data for new Abarth sales is in for January.

January 2015 - 133

(January 2014 - 83)

Up 60% on January 14

No point doing year to date,

The data for new Abarth sales is in for February 2015.

February 2015 - 49

Sales are certainly increasing but its still low figures so we have nothing to worry about, my cars a punto evo ss so think I am a very rare site indeed!  :thumb:
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: midlife crisis on March 09, 2015, 08:36:30 pm
They are still very very rare. 0.08% of all SMMT registered car sales. Ford and Vauxhall each sell more cars in a day than Abarth's sell in a year.
Someone mentioned that they produce about 7,000 European spec Abarth's a year, I'm not sure how true that is, but if so that makes them as rare as a Maserati's and Ferrari's? :thumb:
Title: Re: Abarth registration data
Post by: midlife crisis on April 11, 2015, 11:38:15 am
Data for March 2015

March 2015 - 349

(March 2014 - 305)

Year to date : 528 (2014 - 420)

An increase of 14.43% compared to March last year, and over 25% up for the year so far.
You have to take into account that March was the release of the 15 Plate, so February's registrations figures are artificially very low, with people like me holding off their deliveries until March to boost the supposed residual value of their new car.

Data for April 2015

April 2015 - 159

(April 2014 - 114)

Year to date : 687 (2014 - 534)

An increase of 39.47% compared to April last year, and over 28% up for the year to date.

Our exclusivity may be starting to be eroded away  :( :thumbd:

Sorry for the late update, but have been busy and not on the forum much.

Data for May 2015

May 2015 - 181

(May 2014 - 117)

Year to date : 868 (2014 - 651)

An increase of 54.7% compared to May last year, and over 33% up for the year to date.

Does anyone know how this compares to the number of new Abarthisti members we get each month/Year???

Have we increased in numbers by 33%

A 50% jump is amazing. I think we would all selfishly like to see it under 1k a year just for the rarity factor!

Sorry Guys,

I've been so busy that I haven't been on the forum for a while, but here is the update to the registration figures.

Data for July, August & (65 Plate) September 2015

July 2015 - 160
(July 2014 - 116)

Year to date (July) : 1238 (2014 - 905)

An increase of 37.93% compared to July last year,

August 2015 - 85
(August 2014 - 50)

Year to date (August) : 1323 (2014 - 955)

An increase of 70% compared to August last year, but August Registrations are always low because of the plate change that comes in on 1st September.

NOW THE BIG ONE!!

65 Plate Registrations

September 2015 - 706 (YES, SEVEN HUNDRED & SIX)
(September 2014 - 331)

Year to date (September) : 2029 (2014 - 1286)

An increase of 113.29% compared to September last year, and a year on year increase of 57.58%
