The reason why I wanted a 131 Supermirafiori

[mirafioriman]

Finally found a couple of pictures of my Father's 131 from back in the day. My 131 Supermirafiori project is going to be a replica of this car. It's the reason I always wanted a 131 four door and not a sport.

Yes that's me in the photos I would be about 10 or 11 in them I guess.

It's looks very nice in green I wise I could find photos of our old S2 131 I like 4 door Super's more then Racing's/Sport 's too

Great photos Dave - Was the shirt colour choice deliberate?

Think you should post a today version as well!!

Love the pics, the replica is a great idea    Is this one a late S2 Super?  14'' wheels and no plastic behind the rear reg plate?

It was a 79 V. Reasonably early one had the full beige velour and a single spoke steering wheel.

Was the steering wheel replaced on it Dave ? It has the later wheel 2 spoke steering wheel, the single spoke wheel can brake & were replaced with later 2 spoke ones. Think that Fiat did have a recall but most of them were never replaced

yes, looking at the photo it looks like it has the later two spoke steering wheel. I was sure it had a single spoke wheel but perhaps that was an invention of my memory

What happened to the car for the tax to be cancelled (permanently) mid way through a month on 14/9/88?

My Father sold it about 83/84. It went to a contact of his in the motor trade and then to auction I believe. I know nothing about it after that. I guess it ended up getting scrapped due to rust like most 131s in the UK did.
