Regata Wanted

[c.a.c131]

I do think that 1980?s and early 1990?s cars are being collected. I have seen it in German and Japanese cars, I think that this was the golden age for these makes. In time other makes will follow, IMO I do believe that after the early 1990?s car became more throw away and recycled things, built by a committee and lots of EU regulations that takes away the soul that older cars had

I am happy with my little Fiat collection, and the next pace is a Twin Cam Regata. I like to have Fiat?s a little different and rarer, then the other models in the range this is why I have a 131 Panorama. The Regata was never a true replacement for the RWD 131, as FWD is never as much fun as a RWD. The Regata was built on the Ritmo base with a boot glued on, but they are rare now and maybe some day more people will want them. I think the Regata Twin Cam was the model to have as it had all the toys and it?s the best looking in the range

I didn?t think that this topic would have got as many replies as it has, so maybe there is a little bit of love out there for Regata?s

I had Fiat 131 sports and supermirafiori's since 1987 and all were great cars, I have also had regata's including a B reg (84-85) 100S  and all of them were a complete let down in comparison with any 131 .
They always seemed to be cheaply made and I know it makes no sense but they felt worse than their strada equivilant even though they were basically the same with just a bit added on but I suppose its each to their own but they are not for me.

Even better than a saloon. The weekend looks better, i think.

I like the saloon more then the weekend, I did see a 90S ie on mobile.de today but it was in very poor condition lots of rust Thanks for keeping an eye out for a regata for me Albert

For Regata's IMHO the Saloon is by far the better looker.

The 131 Panorma in S2 Super Spec was a great looking car inside and out.

Its a very clean Regata, and has been for sale for a year or two, and is always on and off website's for sale. Its up at ?4500, ?2950, and ?3500 on autoscourt24 the other day  

I would love to find a twin cam one as clean as this one

Thanks K I am very lucky to have my S3 Super, the only thing my S3 has made me more fussy about my Fiats and any Regata I buy will have to be as new too, right down to the new car clunk when you close the doors like my Super
