Most likely will get chopped up particularly at that price. You'd really have to want a basic two door to give that much and keep it as is.

A shame but that's the market nowadays. Someone might use it to re-shell a rusty sport I suppose.

But it's lovely  I would keep it looking as it is but put a 2 litre twin cam in it  A Heini special Mk II

I've had exactly the same back in 1984! WOuld be a shame to see it chopped, better follow Thoto's advice and put a 2000 TC in it

I think it's silly money

I have had contact with this guy ,I saw on subito.it . lai, the actual duration the car is in greece, he could have it delivered in France for ? 1,000;
6500euros is already expensive !!! + 1000 euros !!!
there is one racing in Italy for that price, I do not know if it's sold about?
I think the 131 will soon become the gold !!!

Please do your homework again.

Then you will see that this is not so expensive at all, provided the car is rustfree of course.

Start with buying a mediocre Racing for let's say 4.000 euro.  Then replace the doors (1.000 euro at least), check the forum (the vivid green Racing-tread) and spend another 5.000 - 10.000 euro (probably more) on panels.

That's already more then 10.000 euro, provided you can do the work yourself!  Which I can't 

If you buy this one rustfree, you will be able to get all the Racing/Sport parts for almost free from one of the Racing-killers here.  A 2000 TC shouldn't set you back more then 1.000 euro etc etc

In the end you will have a nice rustfree Racing/Sport- or Gr4/Gr2-lookalike for a lot less money.  And a lot quicker!

On top off that: who says that you have to pay 6.500 euro?  As far as I remember Greece's economie is not doing so well...

When buying a classic there is one golden rule: buy the best car your budget will cater for.

Rule two is: have fun :-)

Hi just to let you know that I spoke with the owner of the car 3 weeks ago, the car is 30 km from Athens and he said is rust free. Definitely room for deal just the problems is transport cost but the car can be driven and is OK.

The room for negation is definetly there. 

As far as my Greek contact is concerned the price can even be discussed below the Greek advert...

He describes the car as rust free but not concours and if willing to drive it to Belgium "for a nice price" :-)

Or just buy a cheap ticket, fly there and drive it back.

Good that I have so (too) many 131's already...
