If money, space and time was no object...

[kev131]

...a bit along Dave's (theredx19) dream of a Fiat museum, these would be first in line for me...oh..and add a car transporter to bring them all home...

Most of these cars have been for sale at some stage over the last few years.

A very low mileage 127 Sport in Germany for ?10k



My favourite colour Fiat 124 (My Dad and 3 of his brothers all had series 1 124s at the same time in the late 60s/early 70s) - One in this colour - On various Italian websites priced at ?2500.



This 124 Special T was for sale in Southern Italy - Low mileage and just ?4500 - Same colour as my Dad's car bought new in 1973.



Our next door neighbour had one of these in green. If flew and then was traded in for a Polski Fiat 125 in navy - 1111 TI was the memorable reg no. This is an immaculate 39000kms example sold on Ebay.



Every Fiat collection has to have one of these - The CC is my favourite and this car currently lives in West Cork. That's my brother in law btw, not the owner!?



No 131 collection is complete without series 1 special - This beauty was for sale in Germany for ?4000 last year.



or one of these ...and in this colour preferably...for sale at ?47000 last year.



Hopefully one of these Abarths will be sitting in my garage one day....for the rarity as well as the concept behind the car - So in tune with the 131 Sport.



This is in the collection simply because Dad had one in this colour - His last Fiat - This is a 100S ie currently for sale in Germany - From the pictures it looks absolutely factory fresh - "Mint" would be an understatement. Yours for ?3000.



This car is shown because it is an exact copy of our first 132, a series 2 1600GL bought new in white in 1975. Currently for sale in Italy for ?4000.



The next is an exact copy of its replacement - Again bought new, in 1977 in this colour - A big step up to a 2000 engine with electric windows for the first time and velour upholstery - I felt like a king being driven home from the garage on the day of purchase. This car was for sale from City Cars in Turin but is now in a private collection.



This is another 132 and is listed because it is the best condition car that I know of in existance. 13000 kms from new and in a private Italian collection until recently when it came up for sale at ?6500.



And sticking with the 132 theme my favourite Argenta colour.



This is why the "space" is needed..! I've never driven? a 130 but would love to do so one day. These cars deserve to be just looked at as well as driven.



And its sister 4 door - I can't make up my mind which I prefer...

I like that Kev as it is the dream and God (and the girlfriend) knows how much effort is being put into this project

Some stunning looking machines there Kev.

An interesting subject this. I've always dreamt of having a large collection of Fiats, as well as a large collection of other cars too - a bit like Albert I suppose

In terms of Fiat, I'm afraid I don't share your inclusion of the 127, Regreta or Argenta, but the others are excellent - especially the 130s. I'd love to be brave enough to own (and fuel) a 130, and wouldn't mind a Coupe or Saloon, just as long as it was in great condition.

I addition to your list above, MY Fiat collection would include
 - blue 128 3P Special Berlinetta, with the stripey seats and sticker kit;
 - red 128 Sport Coupe 1300 (I had one and sold it to a bloke from north of Dublin in 2001 ).
 - 1300 X1/9 Lido (black with a white suede interior), never owned an x1/9 but always fancied one
 - Mk1 Strada 105TC in red; had a rotten one in the early '90s which absolutely flew!
 - Mk 3 Strada 130TC Abarth in black, with leather Recaros;
 - series 3 131 Supermirafiori 2000TC saloon in 613 azure blue;
 - series 2 131 1600TC Supermirafiori saloon in silver with a blue velour interior;
 - series 2 131 1600TC SuperPanorama in very dark blue:
 - black 131 Sport
 - series 1 or 2 131 1300 basic 2 door, 4 speed (any colour)
 - 124 AC Coupe in French blue
 - 124 AS Spider in red
 - 124 CS1 Spider 1800 in maroon.
 - 124 Spider Turbo
 - 124 CSA Spider Abarth Rally
 - 850 Sport Spider, series 1
 - 850 Sport Coupe Series 1
 - Tipo 16V 5-door
 - Coupe 20V Turbo in portifino blue with black leather
 - Marea 20V HLX saloon in steel grey (Like the one had for three years from new in June 1997)

I could be here all day....so I'll stop before people get totally bored

I'd also like a collection of Fiat Industrial vehicles - lorries and buses, especially from the 1950's and 60's

[gerafiori]

 131 abarth grp4, but lesser fiats need not apply
then waste a few million on porsches, lambos and a few ferrari,s

[sam22]

     124 coupe in silver
      131 abarth in yellow
        127 sport in arancio racing to match the 131 sport
           ritmo abarth would have to be in red.....
              2000tc super mirafiori  in silver
                                                                   ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ouch.....................falls out of bed and wakes up another dream shattered.............

one of these please




and a Merc 300SEL 6.3

[mirafioriman]

The 132 looks good in that orange colour. Not a colour I would have considered without seeing a picture of one in that colour.

My list would be:

Fiat 130 saloon
Fiat 131 Supermirafiori series 2
Fiat 131 Panorama Super series 2
Fiat 132 2000
Fiat Argenta
Lancia Beta saloon
Lancia Trevi
Lancia Gamma saloon
Mercedes 300 'Adenaeur'
Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3
Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9
Mercedes 600
Mercedes 450 SEL 6.9

I'm lucky that with the exception of the Lancias and the Mercedes 300 and 600 I own all these already, except of course they are mainly 'projects'.

Blue 850: there are some pics of my Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 restoration project at

I think you all have very good taste of cars,

I think its stunning and a very beautiful car from the photos i have seen!
That's really the best looking 131 i have seen!  my opinion of course...
