As pure as a 131 can be.... Now, that would be something. A basic 131 fitted with a 2000 TC engine. Everything else standard.

That sounds like a good idea to me

Of course it does.....

Yeah, how about that. Invisible from the outside. The "1300"-badges on the side. But a beast under the bonnet...

Wasn't this japk577's car?

Mike you are putting thing's in my head.....my 131 cl may become a CL sleeper

[mirafiori76]

  My CL stil has the sohc engine, but i have a 2-litre standby with Abarth exhaust and a set of twin carbs.... When it comes to that i will change the badges to 1300 as well...just for fun

I am not a fan of any OHV or OHC engine in a 131, I would TC a CL 131 if I had it

Its the one bought from bristol , and we meet them in our honnington show

[mirafioriman]

Not a bad price for this one. If you like series 1 cars of course.

Isn't the little 70's Fiat Camper in the backgound so sweet

My dad had one in South Norwood in the 80's.....900T I think it was. Got it cheap, fixed it up and sold it on. Only thing I can remember is it felt like days coming up to Derby in it. Bought and sold a few 131 Specials too.....if only we could buy them back in that condition

Guys,

Having read the advert again - my understanding is that the the original engine, gearbox and interior have been removed from this car and an untested TC engine has yet to be installed along with the/an interior. Makes a good Q-car perhaps but not without some quite extensive investment.

This car has been on and off various sites 'For Sale' for at least 6 months. I was interested in it myself when it first came up, but then it was still a complete 1300 Basic - now it looks like it's been played with. A great shame  

Dave and Chris - some of us do like Series 1 cars and do like the very simple and bomb-proof OHV engines, even if they don't excite everyone, as without them there would have been nothing further to develop.
