auto-yes i know  :-X
1600 or 2000 who knows  ???
but if it stays at that money its gotta be worth it for bits  ;)
While Im on has anyone bought a LHD 131 and then converted it to RHD  ???

Regards Curt

PS moving house to get bigger garage and maybe start my 131 project  ::) ::)

I think this car was on ebay a while ago up in Scotland. I think it sold. If it is not the same one, it is a hell of a coincidence, as the Scottish car was also 18,000 miles.

i rescued that car 5 years ago from a banger racer,it sold on ebay a year ago for just under ?200 it is a 1600 tc and the miles are right but it was rotten from the doors down,please somebody save it, dave???
 got a 20v turbo coop just now dave and a tipo sedici that should sometime be getting 16v turbo coupe power as soon as i get a 16v integrale ecu.

Thanks for the info Scott! If it stays cheap I may bid! Although I really have too many cars at the moment! I know Liverpool pretty well so picking it up should not be too much of a problem. It does look pretty rotten.... perhaps still restorable, if not a good source of low mileage parts.

well dave,did ya?

I'm just about to PM you!

Now mine!

Nice one dave  ;)
A rebuild or for bits  ???
what did you pay in the end ??
Glad its gone to a good home-you dont have a donkey sanctuary as well do you  :D :D :D

Curt  ;D

Hopefully it will be saved, although there are some good bits like the excellent velour interior and the engine and gearbox which would be good to enhance other cars. I think it was reasonable money for what it is.

You need to change the footer at the bottom of your posts to 131 mirafiori times 5  :) :) :)

It's actually six as I have not added the estate car! I will do it now.

top man    ;D

Well done Dave ;D Both for getting another 1600TC Super and for having more 131s than me :-\ :'( :'(

I think it's about time I did something about my 131 fleet (think I may have said that at some point in the past - more than once ;D ;D). Exactly what though I don't know. I have seen another 1600S about 400 yards from my new house that I can use as a source for spares, which could help me to get my current green 'spares' S back on the road. (I can almost hear Theo's voice, like the little Devil in my head, telling me that I shouldn't be so silly - concentrate on the 131s I have). But Theo - I like 131s ;D ;D even if they are slightly rotten :-\

I have recently moved house and now have a place that has plenty of space for expansion, although currently I have two 131s parked on the grass as the drive is too short! ::) But the medium range plan is to build a four car garage to the side of the property as well as extend the main house as it's currently only a three bed and I have just moved out of a four!! :o

Well done again Dave.

Hi there simon -you say you have just moved house - We are about to move as well on the 31st of July. :) :)
Where abouts in the country are you -any where near the midlands ?
Looking forward to a smooth move -but I doubt it  ??? ???

Curt

did you get a spare set of doors with that car dave that were buckled at the top?

No spare doors. The previous owner has fitted four second hand replacement doors which look reasonable, although I have not looked closely at them yet.
