nice

It's just down the road from me. Won't be bidding though ;)

Great to see a black RHD survivor. Does it really look like only 40000 miles from new though...? ???

Look what its at now :)

sweet lil ride, i would say it a fair price at around 9K

bloody elll an other one out of the cupboard  :o
  99p to ?8100 in 17 hours is this going to make top RS 2000 mk11 money

Very clean looking. Could do with the green starter wire installed in the correct position along the chassis rail under the master cylinder (clips on to firewall). Also radiator expansion tank would not function as the fluid level is too low??   Petrol cap strange. Disclosed sunroof is a pity. Modifications may subtract from its value.
However. a very rare car in what appears in vgc for its age. If that mileage can be verified it could be the lowest of all known rhd uk cars. Apart from the sunroof, a good car to finish to a specimen.
A near as damn it a benchmark example of what top 131r's are currently worth.
 
 

Not the best way to run the handbrake cable either.

its on here before on we seek them here we seek them there black sport page 2

couldn't find it

Nor could I.  Did a vehicle check & this car has not been taxed since 1985.   The owner could do with copying this information before its lost as it loosely confirms that mileage. 

Seems to be a genuine low mileage sport not many left if any now. Seems strange that it has a manual choke with the pull knob bracket screwed to the dash ?
What is the history of this one ?

That knob is for manual choke. Look at the picture of the engine. There runs a cable to the top of the carburator.

Whats going on here ?  this morning there were 25 bids and now there are 20 and obviously the price has dropped ! have some of them had second thoughts or have they looked at the car and changed their minds ?

 ;D yes I know the knob is for manual choke but my point is that the 131 sport runs an automatic choke not a manual.
I just think it looks unsightly and spoils the dash I would have left the 34adf or another type of auto choke, still a nice car though.

David, the seller has added a note to say he had a pile of drunken weekend bidders who have now retracted their boozy bids

It's clearly visable this engine doesn't have the Original carburator, 106  ;) :) It's a fact the Original choke parts do fail sometimes. So maybe the owner chose an other type of carburator.

A few of us would still love to have a black sport again  :) :) :)

I certainly would Jason!  8) The pics of this one have had my memory working overtime - oh those heady days of black 131 Sport ownership. JPD 969V and NPF 962W were cars I have never been able to replace - even the Abarth, whilst still a wonderful car, hasn't replaced these cars.

It seems to have been removed As it was there a few days ago :-\

Still there if you follow the link posted on here. We get a mention too :)

Still over two days to go :) The mention the forum got is a must read ;D

I went to have a look yesterday

What's the body and paintwork like Bobby?

Bobby what's it like dont keep us in suspense is it as good as it is described and it looks in the pictures ??

Well bids are high and good luck to the seller !

Same here. If mine didn't have a 131 to landrover discovery interface after only 3 months of ownership,it would've saved a lot of grief in the following months/years.  :(

Right 1hr to go !! who has their cheque books out and ready ?  ;D
Is it going to be a 4 figure or 5 figure sale   ;D ;D

?12900 ;D

Yehaaaaaa she is all mine , winner alright winner alright,

Been looking for a few years now so I just hope she is as goos as she looks.

I am now part of the sport family (well all going well)

Have I lost my marbles but I am a very happy chappy.


Ciaran

Another one in Ireland.....

  well we proberly wont get to meet  you and the 131 , enjoy the sport and we'll see the pics on the irish fiat gathering end of the month  :)

Actually while Ciaran is Irish...I'm not sure if he lives in Ireland or not. I'm sure he'll put me right on where the car ends up. :)

Good luck with the car Ciaran!

Greetings from Holland

Congratulations Ciaran!

At last you have a 131 Sport ;)

  ciaran 's profile says london so we might  ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D Congratulations Ciaran  ;D ;D

Your 131 Sport was a really good find  :)  39,000 miles + RHD + floor....  What more could you want?

I took my 131 Racing / Sport out for a couple of hours this evening - worth every penny  ;)

Good man Ciaran you got one at last will we be seeing it in lanesborough anytime soon? ;D

congrats Ciaran, i know how you feel it took me just under two years to find the right car.

i think you have pick up a gem!!!

whens the gr4 body kit going on!!!!  ;) (Just Jokes, Just Jokes!!!)

Samuel....

You made the right choice there Ciaran. ;D

...only for 12.900 pounds...  :-\ :-X ???

Many thanks to all for the congrats  ;) and of course the reassurances that I have not completely lost the plot  ;D   as Kevin says I am Irish (Roscommon) however I have lived in London (Harrow) for over 25 years so the car will be in Harrow for the foreseeable future.  I will take her over to Roscommon at some stage for a bit of fun.  Its been a long search so Im hoping it will be worth the wait  ::)  car arrives next Wednesday via a transportation company due to lack of time to go get her.   Ciaran
