Did the series 2 have that colour code?

Yes in the last of the S2's 1981 :) The Irish market had this colour in 1981 on S2's :)

Nice car, mine is exactly the same including colour, but the car is far too expensive and data are wrong, it's not a 1980 car and it's not 1301. I can't see nothing resembling "recaro" seats or similar. So I think the seller has no idea or he's just trying to cheat.

Nice colour!
perhaps it's some relatives trying to sell it or just plane cheaters trying to make money!

Any form of brown / beige is a complete no no for cars IMHO and has been continuously derided in the motoring press for many years.

Resale values are also affected by choosing such colours.

For series 2 Super's 528-Turtle Dove and 707-Chesnut were big no's.

Motoring magazines are written by normal people and unfortunately not all of them know what they are talking about. Some Classic Car magazines still claim that a road-going 131 Sport in good condition is worth under ?2000! I'd like some of those experts to find me about ten 131 Sports at ?1800 each as I think they'll be enough to set up a nice retirement fund for me  ;D Some colours look good on some cars and not on others although I'd admit that's more to do with personal tastes. Red looks good on a Ferrari but looks awful on a large Mercedes. I think the metallic brown colour looks good on the four door 131s, it's certainly a period colour and if I was buying such a car the colour would not put me off at all. In fact that colour will probably make me want to buy it even more  ;)  When I was looking to buy a Gamma back in 1996, I almost didn't go to see the car I now have because it was brown! "I don't want a brown car" I thought to myself as I still had preconceived ideas about car colours, probably created by the motoring press  ;D But I fell in love with the car as soon as I saw it and I love my big brown car  ;D ;D

A Gamma would look good in any colour :).

As far as brown goes the S3 Mirafiori in this colour doesn't look too bad.

Whereas the Solid Brown from the S2 looked awful. With such a wonderful range of colours at the time who would of ordered one in this colour :o :o

I had a Vauxhall Hire Car this week that could only be described as Brown / Grey Awful ::). James May in one of his books whilst reviewing a VW Phaeton did a piece on 'Brown Car's'. Very amusing and very true.

Maybe it's time for a poll on Brown ;D ;D

I have sold a good few new brown cars this year ;D

A Opel/Vauxhall ::) is awful anyway ;D regardless of its colour :D

Bronze/brown 131 supers are class Rob get real all colours in a 131 are class,
about time you got one!

Sid

It is about time I got one ;D.

Now when you bring Bronze  :) into the picture. Different Story.

S2 131 Super's look great in this colour with Beige Velour 8) 8)

Looks good to me ;D 707 chestnut :)

In their times 131 sold very well in browns and there was plenty of browns available, especially for series III 131, both in metallic and not. I think it's just a question of fashion, nowadays brown is almost out of fashion.

That looks very nice.

When I was offered my new 131 S3 I thought that brown metallic looked like crap but when the rest was in such good shape I had no possibility to choose colour just to get a S3 in best possible shape!
Chest nut metallic is far better than faded rust colour...

But thou I didn't have had any time yet to bring it to its mint shape, but the more time I spend with it I kind of like it more and more!
