Ahem - I suggest you look at the picture in Willem's article Kev  Grin Grin Grin Grin then you'll notice that not only are the headrests different, the seats themselves are a different shape even under the covers  Wink Wink Wink It should have seats that look very similar to the standard Abarth Stradale seats but with vivid, coloured centre stripes instead of the body coloured ones. Cool Cool

Ha - Touche bud!  Grin

I should know not to pick an argument with you on 131s...... Smiley

Glad to see that you've finally done your research rather than winging it though!!!  Tongue

Doesn't anybody read the articles......  Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

According to the picture in the article about the South Africa Racings, they had 'normal' 131 headrests

All the materials for the seats, door cards, roof cloth would have been all sourced in SA.

The 'Turtle back' air boxs always look good.
I believe this is the only 131 ive seen one fitted, they were standard fitment on 124 Abarths.
The one on the car looks modified though, intakes have been cut and the top cover replaced with mesh.
I recently bought a Turtle back air box which i hope to modify and fit to my 131.

I realise I say this at the risk of being called a heretic or worse, but that car makes my eyes hurt! Surely I'm not the only one? I love the understated look of the UK Sport, to me that looks like someone went mad at Demon tweeks......

No, people don't read the articles and they also only look at the last page of the forum. There is a wealth of information but nobody looks there.................almost, and that's a real pity.

Now we think this is expensive as we thought 5 years ago for an 8K Racing, I expect we think in 5 years we should have bought it......................

Still not a racing Wink

Funny you say that, because in South Africa we don't consider your car as a Racing. We had the 131 Racing first ( read the article, 1978! )AND ours was faster AND stronger AND had more ABARTH parts AND is more valuable. LOL

115bhp VS 150bhp.......

If you want to see a real Racing, look up my post under introductions.

PS, nice 131 Sport mate! LOL

131 Sport. Can't be called a Racing with only 115hp son.

Or at last be called a "sample of a Racing"
