Title: The best 131s are in Germany (er Austria)...!
Post by: kev131 on August 24, 2007, 02:00:19 AM
This looks like another "find" if you are looking for low mileage originality - ?5k in sterling!

OK it's LHD but looks a more genuine car than the white one on Ebay. Jason - I've changed my mind - Buy this one instead!? ;)

I gotta say i agree with Kev  ;)
The white one on e-bay seems to have had an awful lot of work and is more race prepared than road ready i would say.Also I personally do not recall or know of a 131 sport made in white  ??? ???

The silver one featured looks like a genuine article and i would say is worth more for being 'un tampered ' with  :)

Still it is a left hooker - so i suppose horses for courses  :)

I once asked on the forum if any one of the members has converted a LHD to RHD and wether it was a difficult t ask - has anyone done such a thing  ??? ???

Yes Rene - My mistake - I've just established the correct location today - Vienna is nearest international airport.

I'll have some more details over the weekend. :D

Can anyone provide a brief translation of the advertised description?

BABELFISH:

The interior equipment is in a very good condition. The car seats are covered with beautiful black velvet. This affectionately maintained and garaged Fiat waits for an owner, who will preserve and maintain it as well as it has been so far. I can honestrly say that this car is one of very few rust free examples left. Inspections are possible. Please call 0660/3193932. Leave a message if necessary and you will be recalled.

Wow - That was fast Theo - Nice car dont you think?

I like the wheels especially altho the extra spotlamps wouldn't last long.

Are you tempted as it's the colour of Dudley?  ;)

The car was sold after a few weeks (surprise). It was being sold by the daughter of the owner who had passed away.

I came across some outdoor photos of the car on another forum - Looks like the new buyer got themselves a real find - Wish I had the storage space and I would have had it.? Although the wheels look modern I think they suit the car very well, especially a silver one - Cant decide if they are 15s or 16s. Anyway enjoys the pics.
