How to buy a Fiat 131 Sport

[Thotos]

I'm told the orange one next to mine in this photo has found a new owner in Europe

And who's is the white series one undergoing restoration in the garage?

i do like the orange ( of course) car and wonder if anyone knows what wheels it has on, would nt mind some of them! to add to the topic i found the best ( and only) sport i could find at the time (2 miles away!) and had it made fit for mot then had 12 months out of it before deciding that with the amount of welding it needed it was sell cheap or resto, which believe me is not for the faint hearted. lots (+lots) of money later its taking shape and now that i can see where the moneys gone it feels great going to see it. i know i will never get my money back,that was not the idea,and people have said for another few thousand i could have an abarth but i havent got that kind of money in one go, it has been spread over 2 years,so there is room out there for a resto car as well as original ones, and it keeps another 131 running

Good spotting! That is a sport being made into an abarth replica by the (previous) owner of the orange car.

Nigel: the wheels on the orange car and on mine are made by a company in Australia called Performance Wheels.

They do look good. I think i would of bought those instead of mine if i had seen the catalogue first

Otherwise you all just belong to Poland!!
Let's talk about cars!!!

To Poland ? Nooooo, too much mess. That reminds me that Madagascar used to be a sort of Polish colony, at least the Pole has been elected a king there.
