There are a few about, one was bought by a member of the Retro Rides site recently (it was actually for sale not too far from me). It is the car that really replaced the 131, shared the same 1600 T/C engine, but was of course FWD. Certainly becoming rare, as to whether it will be a classic who knows?

A friend of mine in the 90,s had a weekend  100s  white with 185 60 14  as standard,went like a rocket he said and was much faster than his fathers ie model ,but i never saw the colectablety ,the  beauty is in the eye of the beholder i suppose

those things replaced the 131 they were horrible then & even more so now

[gerafiori]

maybe if you started off driving in a regatta or if you had fond memories
of ownership you might buy one bit like a 131

[mirafioriman]

Thats true. I am only really into 131s because my Father had one when I was growing up. As he had a four door I like four doors

[sid131]

well i hate them cos they were the end of the 131

I totally agree with you Sid.My favourites were 124,125,126Bambino,127,128,130,131,132,850,&500.The next generation did not appeal to me.Eugene

those things are front wheel drive as opposed to the sideways 131 (mine had lsd) (my project Y now has lsd & rear disc brakes) they replaced the cool 131 i even hate to this day the celica ta40 which replaced the ta23 like i have & the first fwd celica the st165 even though i now have fwd st182 same but very different, does any one know what i mean? my wife & sis in law say i am stuck in the 70s! lol

i wouldnt mind 1 would be grand car for winter runs the fact its such a rare car is why i like it
but not enough 2 give 3 grand  for as for a classic dont think so think it will be just 1 of them cars
you would pass on the road and say jeppers i havend seen 1 of them in years
so if any 1 in ireland got 1 for 200 euro give me a bell  0 and the 85 super model please

[sid131]

Mark you gonna buy one & then crush it for the crack? ha ha ha

My dad had a Regata 100s whilst the Breg supermirafori was off road. I was 18 and use to drive it through the winter whilst my black sport was tucked away. It had a 1600 twin cam on a carb and have to say that it performed like a 2litre. You would get torque steer if you booted it off the lights! We put Mk 1 Strada 105tc wheels on her with 185 tyres, side skirts and a rear spoiler.

I suprised a few golf gti's and some fords.

It was a good car to us and even won best in class at the Fiat Motor Club event at Donnington Park.

I don't think it would come in to the classic range. It doesn't have that appeal what the 131's had, although i do remember seeing one being rallied on the bbc a long time ago.

I miss my Croma? It was a great car and served me well for nearly 3 years. It was great value as well as I was given it for free?
