Title: 5609 TI - The car that started it all
Post by: kev131 on March 24, 2007, 01:25:27 PM
Following on from http://131mirafiori.com/smf/index.php?topic=126.0 I've scanned in some more photos of the beast.

Apologies for the quality but the camera that I owned as a teenager wasn't much cop - Neither were my photographic skills I hear you say!? ;D

At the end are two shots of a brand new unregistered 131 Sport (although badged as a Racing - Simon...!) as it sat in the rain awaiting a proud new owner. It was parked out the back of Elm Motors.

This was the last time that I ever saw the car..parked next? to the new Argenta. Although the new car was all electric with fancy control panels, etc I can still taste the pain? :'( of leaving the 131 behind - It was a much more honest car compared with the tarted up 132 replacement (which lacked alloys, spoiler, quad headlamps and bucket loads of street cred).

Here is the grey car - Those cromadoras really suit the colour scheme.
