UNFORTUNATELY THE TIME HAS COME!!! THE 131 HAS GOT TO GO, AFTER ALL THE HARD WORK TIME AND NOT FORGETTING GREAT EXPENSE MY DREAM OF HAVING THE BEST 131 IN THE COUNTRY HAS GONE.
BIG EXPENSE ON THE HOUSE CREDIT CRUNCH ETC MEANS THAT SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE,SO GONNA PUT IT ON HERE FOR FIRST OFFERS AS I WOULD LIKE IT TO GO TO A 131 HOME BUT AS MOST OF YOU HAVE GOT ONE I THINK THE CLASSIFIEDS BECKON :( :(  DON T REALLY HAVE A FIGURE IN MIND YET BUT OPEN TO OFFERS. CHEERS NIGEL. P.S WANT TO SELL AS A COMPLETE CAR NOT BITS HERE AND THERE

hi nigel, thats a shame you are selling your 131,
i hope it sells quick for ya,  have you any pics on site of her or can you put up some as am sure this will help sell it
regards gerry :)

hi have a look on project corner under nigels 131 resto ,now at the top of the list on the forum cheers nigel

Sorry to hear that the project is being sold.

A comprehensive update on the re-assembly would be useful to any potential buyers along with what bits are missing.

Also there is no substitute for pictures if there is anyway that you can get some new ones.

Really hope it goes to someone who will retore to standard condition.? :)

Best of luck with the sale Nigel.

Good luck Nigel with selling. I hope it will go to a 131 friend or you just don't sell and think in a year that pancakes are also okay food as long as you could keep your dream alive. I am just afraid you will hate to see your own work later by another owner ;) :( >:(

pm sent.

Well Bernie,it's going to a good home in Killarney,but don't panic as something else will turn up ;).Eugene

Just had a call from the new owners.

The car is on a trailer in Blackburn as we speak and covered up against the elements in preparation for the trip home to Killarney.

Early comments are that the body is in unbelievable condition. The body was sealed before painting but will be rust proofed again before assembly. New body parts (all Fiat) include both wings, doors, rear Qs, rear panel, boot lid & bonnet. A mint interior and boxes of unused parts. A real find.

I hope to get to see the car in the metal at the weekend so photos to follow.? ;)

hi, as you have heard kev the boys have told you how good the shell is, wait untilyou actually see it, there is not a better shell anywhere. it has had everything,from the sandblasting rebuilding with genuine fiat panels to the 3 stage rustproofing and the fantastic paint job done all over the car, top and underneath. when i got the car home i did nt want it to go but seeing as the boys were in england i had to let it go. if i had brought the car home before i sold it it would not have been sold!!!! hope to see piccys when its done. ( p s er indoors happy with the cheque!!!!!!) ;D

Nigel,to see the car going away,must have been heartbreaking for you.What you had to do,i don't think i could do it,especially as you had so much work put into the car.
As regards to your missus,does she reliase the amount of work you have put into the car ::).
Best regards Nigel         Eugene

hi.the car is now in killarney,tucked up nicely in its new home and it looks even better in daylight,all it needs is to reassemble it and we are on the road,i truly understand nigels comments as the ammount of work, time dedication,and money and a passion for this car that nigel has put into the 131 shows a man who really has a strong passion for this car, nigel thank you for your hospitality,and i am sure we will meet again.
