[Thotos]

Sorry, I can't make this one 

[simon131]

No, I won't be there either I'm afraid - I'll be helping my mate move house

[Thotos]

Well, I managed to get out of my other commitment so I'll be in Stanford Hall tomorrow morning. 

[jasonh131]

well me theo and sev and graham where

[Thotos]

Yes, I was there and it was a great show. Fiats were well represented and there was a great collection of great looking Fiats as well as other great Italian cars.

There were three 131s present including the UK Volumetrico.







and this photo for Albert. Here's the new belt for the compressor (I should get the part number details for you).



Home made sticker? or are they all like that?



Bobby Sev's car was there:







There was just one 132



and here's a photo in "Kevin-style"



(Kevin does that sort of thing much better so I think I'll leave those sort of photos to Kevin  )

The Top Gear gang were there too and spent the day filming so some of the cars may be appearing in a future episode of Top Gear



To keep me happy there was a great looking Maserati Kyalami again (I just love Kyalamis... )







There were also some very rare cars like this one-off Abarth 2200





Some great looking Fiats won several prizes. OK it was a Fiat Concourse competition so Fiats had to win but they were great cars nonetheless

The silver 131 is a beaut, is it really clean in the flesh?

[kev131]

Fantastic "Theo style" pics T. Looks like a good day out. 

I'd have that 132 & 105 like a shot if they were for sale. Lovely cars.

That Kyalami looks fab as well - I can see the appeal for you with that boxy styling - Definite Lancia influences in there as well I think.

Great pics, the 132 was James Nicholson's Bellini?

[Thotos]

Yes, that's right. James was there in two cars; the Bellini and a Croma Turbo.

I like the 5 spoke alloys of the 131 in the 3rd photo  .
Any idea what brand is that, Theo ?

[sid131]

they are 5 spoke revolutions

[Gremlino]

Ha ha,
Yes Theo the stickers are home made

Before she was imorted from Italia some little hooligan had the originals away.
I've been looking for replacements for 4 years and apart from the resin repro one that was on ebay last year theres no trace of any anywhere.

The originals are made of cast aluminium like the 2000TC badges on the rear quarters (see pic)..

If anyone knows of a set going for sale please let me know as its as frustrating as having the last piece of a jigsaw missing
