This is my Doner car bought from Watford around 2004. It was originally Black and was wondering if anyone knows any history on it.

It came with brand new doors, which was the reason for purchase. I had to take the lot as the owner had to clear the rented garage. Got some real goodies with her including 10" wide 15" rims, which I sold to Steve Parrish in Spain.

....and my beloved 8valve Integrale in the back!!  :(

Spares or restoration? Looks quite tidy in the pics.

Hi is this car for sale?  If  so what is left on it... as that maybe easier than saying what has been taken off  :D is there a price in mind?
   i am sorry if I have misinterpreted the  topic and it is long gone... Regards Wayne.

Hi Wayne,

The car came with no engine and box. It is basically a shell. I may be selling one of my 131's soon.

Cheers Bob

which one Sev?

Not sure yet.

Hi Bob,  I could still be interested in the shell, is it rolling and what is left on it? ie:- glass interior, lights,trim etc and panels.
  Would it be a sport you may sell? as It is a sport  I would be looking for. Are you in England or Ireland?  just incase of viewing in the future. I am in Leicester England
  Regards Wayne

Hi Wayne, the shell is more or less stripped now, virtually a bare soon. I won't be selling anything till 2010. Not sure which one I will sell first. I'm in Derby. Whereabouts are you in Leicester? I now Leicester a little.


Cheers Bob

Hi Bob, I am in wigston, south leicester. I will keep checking on developments on your sale.. As I said it would be a sport i am interested in even if that means the shell and parts you have ...maybe put back what you have taken off lol.
         Regards Wayne.

And heres those rims with tyres fitted and on the car ;D
Still in Spain i should add.

Fantastic Steve - I'll be in your neck of the woods next month so I'm hoping to get a closer look.  :)

I know I've mentioned this before but wouldn't the car look even better with an Abarth/Series 1 S grill fitted..? :)

Yes it look's better!  Thanks to Yagmur

Hi Wayne, I know where wigston is. I lived n Leicester when I was a little nipper!

Here is a picture of my dads 131 special taken with me and my sis, which use to fly round Leicester in the early 80's. He had it painted with a stripe, fitted Lancia beta alloys, 1600tc seats, a 1756 twin cam coupled to a 131 sport box taken out of a salvage damaged car done 20k!

Hi Sev131 i see you have been bred Fiat & it seem to be in the blood, but do you ever stray to another marquee? my Dad had a lot of Fiats & Fords then discovered Toyotas & everyone in the family now drives Toyotas including myself, but i have the 131 sport disease & thats incurable ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi mate, your right i am born and bred with Fiats! It all started when my grandad emigrated from Kenya in around 1970 bringing his 1500c with him. My dad still go's on about how he use to burn off 1600cc fords in Leicester! The engine was rebuilt by my grandad in the 60's and was very strong.

A street in Derby where my gran still lives use to share a T reg 1600tc, R reg 1600 special, W reg 1600tc, T reg sport, X reg 2000tc super, one year old A reg super and my dads brand new B reg super.

All these cars were parked together at weekends when my dads brothers and brother in law used to vist my granparents! I've got some pics somewhere and will post them asap. I still actually remember haing a day off from primary school to help my uncle put a 131 sport kit on a 1600 special!

Twenty years on plus, my dad and me are the only ones who have kept interest in these awesome cars, although my dads weekend motor is a bmw 740i. I've had a few e36 beemers in the past and the usual fiesta's, metro, astra gte's etc, but had to have another 131 sport in good time. Funny enough my school mates still remember my dads super and black sport and this is going back 16years.

Idealy I need to find an all round fuel/family saloon soon, probally a 520d sport bmw 02reg onwards, as the car I bought my wife is the most uncomfortable boring car ever bought. I did only pay ?1100 with 19k on her 2 years ago tho! Very reliable and a nice orange colour.....ok it's a Vreg Almera 1.6 16v! No street cred, she hates it! lol!

I would like one of these too, evo 2 integrale, civic type r, punto abarth or a 500 abarth with the essesse pack!

Hi Sev everyone seems to remember the 131 sport & any visitors i have in the house ii show them the garage & the 131 on its side at the back & i am always asked "whats that?" & where did you get one of those!! eyes wide open, so there is a great interest out there for these cars & i can only hope that they will go up in value for the good ones cos when i am finished my car it will have cost a bomb,
you are pretty lucky in the Uk as far as taxing a large car, we are robbed every year with the wifes celica its a 1.8 & costs over ?500 to tax, the 2.0 Gti its over ?600 so 1.0 yaris would be the cheap option & absolutely no street cred even with alloys! lol!!

I agree nick tax is way too much in ireland I have a91 prelude 2.2 vtec and a97 camry 2.2 and the tax ismore than the cars are worth :o

$247 nz a year  road tax  for any car here.  Its a lot less if car is over 30 years old. ;D   Thats  114GBP or 124Euro.  :o

well Ireland is good for something then as road tax for a vintage & veteran class (over 30 years old) is ?48 euro per annum, & the vehicle is exempt from the National car test (Nct) our mot.
