which it is your preferred version of the 131?

[effe131]

my preferred version is the 131 third series (1981-1983) supermirafiori, 1,600 twin cam, in the metalizzata grey color...
just equal to that one in the photo

Mine is definitely the series two Supermirafiori 1600T/C. In green metallic with beige velour upolstery and rare factory steel sliding sunroof. Closely followed by a Panorama estate car. Sports are OK but don't really do anything special for me, particularly when I could buy a mid 90's Mercedes S600 for the price some sellers have asked for a good sport!

Like this mirafioriman...?

It's been for sale in Holland for many months at ?3k - It's a 1978 model.

and to answer the original question...it's hard to give an answer actually - If I think about which series is my favourite I cant really make up my mind - I love them all. But if I have to pick a particular model it's got to be a Black Sport. Meantime I'll make do with this...!?

Hmmm. I am not sure about the Green Super in Holland and not really surprised it hasn't sold. I get very worried when people go mad with painting everything, bumpers, door handles, sills etc. It makes me wonder if it was just a quick respray to hide lots of problems.? The car has mismatched wheels, wrong bonnet, missing wheel badges and they didn't bother masking the tyres when they sprayed the wheels or cleaning the tyres afterwards!? I'd keep well away from this one or check it VERY carefully....

You can't ask questions like this on a 131 forum! It's 'elitist' enough to show an interested in 'only' 131s!

I honestly love them all! "All of the colours in all of the sizes" as someone once said! There is always room in my stable for ANY 131, as I'm sure Theo will testify!

But if I was pressed for a decision I'd say that I have a very soft spot for the series 3 2000TC Supermirafiori (excellent motorway cruiser), series 2 Sport/Racing (don't need a reason!) and 1600TC Supermirafiori (love the looks), and all series 1 cars (the 'purist' 131! ) especially the Abarth (the ultimate!).

I can't say just one.

The 131 in Holland is not for me (too expensive!) unless I have a win on the lottery of course..... I do like the colour though, it is very similar to the colour (if not the same) as the 131 my Father had in about 83/84. I loved that car and would hapilly buy it back although I doubt it exists still. I have asked about it before it was GSD 925V.
