Title: DVF 164 T - Where is it now...?
Post by: James on August 15, 2008, 08:45:29 AM
Not a great picture but unfortunately it's the only one i have of  my Dad's old 131 Sport.Bought used in 1983 from Norwich Fiat Dealer Woodland Car Sales and a trade up from a white 1600TC SuperMirafiori.Owned for about 3 years and last seen in Norwich in late 80's.Fantastic memories of trips between Retford and Norwich in under 2 hours and the necessity of intercom when going over 50mph....Brilliant car.

Hi David ,
Sorry but I might have one of the White series 1 131 Estate on an R plate that started this 131 fascination off but I'm sure I haven't any of the series 2 T Reg White Supermirafiori that came before the Orange Sport. Shame really as it was a cracking car with a sliding steel sunroof and blue velour style interior that my Dad bought again from Woodland Car Sales in 1980. I remember looking at other Supermirafiori's at the time in unusual colours (light metallic green , purple/burgundy mix) and Dad tapping around the sills and under the back end - on one occasion going straight through - these cars were only 2/3 years old at the time!! - I'm with you the 4 door Supermirafioris are right up there with the Sports in my opinion.
