131mirafiori forum

I am posting this on behalf of Martin K from Cavan who has been trying to sell his 131 super for the last while. The man has been subject to a number of time wasters as regards this car that he has now come to the idea of selling the car in parts and as such has put a deadline of the end of this month before he puts a con-saw to it in order to make space and to get some of his money back. If anyone is interested please ring Martin on 087 6973092 and please beer in mind that he has been subject to alot of time wasting and I believe he is very serious with his idea for this car :( :( :(

Perhaps some pictures and details on this site might generate some serious interest.

I agree with Daves comment.Eugene

Is this the 131? mosney 2007

i rang the guy a few minutes ago his caris the car shown by sid 131 at mosney last year he said there is spares as well

How much is he looking & what spares has he?????????

the car is up on carzone.ie and he is only selling as a package as the feeling I get from Martin is that if someone asks for just the parts he will be cutting them off the car, as he is only interested in doing one sale and not a hundred small ones but come the end of the month if it is not sold there might be a rack of orange 131 parts on Ebay :o :o :o

Can not find any 131s on carzone. Is it definitely listed or is he planning to list it?

Yes it is there Dave.Look under classic cars number267.
Price is 3200euro.The price is very right.Eugene

OK found it now. I know this car having seen it a few years ago before it was painted orange. Looking at the prices on the site in general, the classic car enthusiasts in Ireland must be rich! Equivalent cars in England often sell for much less.

Not enough information in this advert needs more pics & interior shots & a proper ad here

I have being posting this as Martin has no current access to the internet and as for the price it is priced keenly as I have seen many cheaper cars on the internet for sale but can only be described as "hen-houses". I think everyone who is into their cars will agree with the fact that a cheap classic will always cost more in the long run bringing it up to a usable and presentable state which this car is.

well if he is going to take a con saw to it whats the bottom price?
its a super ok what seats are fitted? they look different
whats the engine from & what about the rust? asking for a friend who needs more info & pics, he would like to see the car but because of the first post of timewasters etc he would be reluctant to view it know what i mean? so need more pics & info, those pics on carzone are old pics i have them stored long time.

Best ring Martin as it is priced keen to sell as Martin is interested in Fiats and wants to preserve them but the timewasters he has been subjected to have taken some of his passion away from him. He has seen the side of classic cars that I too dont like and this is the people who buy these cars to "turn a pound" as I personally could never sell any of my cars some I have had for 7 years now but I am only 30 so at the time I could not even get insurance for them but bought and restored them to preserve them. The reason he would put a con-saw to it is as I have said above I believe the sale of this car has eat severly into Martin's passion now and I am hoping this car sells before the end of the month to help restore some of his faith in people who collect and not "trade" classic cars.

I believe the front seats are out of an Alfa. Fishnet type recaros if memory serves me correctly. A previous owner of this car still had the said Alfa when I went to visit his a number of years ago.

hi sid when i was talking to martin k he said you were in dundalk  20 miles or so away from him i am over 120 miles why dont you go over and check it out he mentioned 2700 euro bottom price it was the bottom bit got me in a flush :o

In my opinion 3000 euro is a very very reasonable price to pay for a usable classic in this condition when all you have to do is sit in turn the key and drive it away. I paid 2000 euro for a rust box before christmas that will take about 10 grand to restore it properly.

My friend is interested in it & we will go & see it on Friday evening if that suits Martin? he has a couple of classics so we will see.

You are best ringing Martin as he has no access to the internet to even read this forum and I am not too sure wether all the cars are in his house as his interest at the moment is the sale of this 131  ;D ;D

my friend has a couple of classics so maby whats martins number?

silly me number is in the first post

Think he is looking for cash and he has no interest in any swaps ;D

dont know what you mean by swaps, none of my mates cars are for sale nor are any of mine!!

we went to see Martins car yesterday, it needs some tlc & a bit of work  & my friend wants something to use straight away as he has a couple projects ongoing, this would be a great 131 for someone who can do the repairs she needs it would be a shame if it didnt go to a good home cos shes nice, some pics.

east meets west lol

2 more

What work/TLC does she need?

well if you are interested in buying her its best you phone Martin to arrange a good look at her yourself

Sid,please tell us what needs to be done to the car.Martin said that he fed up of time wasters,so this is where you come in.
List what needs to be done,please,please,please ;).
Eugene

Hi Eugene we pointed out to Martin what she needs so its best you phone him, we didnt go over there to run the car down by any means just pointed out the faults

Hi Eugene any pics of your opel kadette coupe big bird had a green one with wide weller wheels years ago, it  came to a sorry end in 1982 nearly killed him, long story.

According to car Zone.ie,it says that this car was sold.Can anyone confirm this ???..I hope the seller didn't carry out his threat of useing the Con Saw on the car.
Sid about the Kadett Coupe,i will fill you in with all details at the weekend ;).Eugene

sorry to say it did not sell so Marty will be reducing it to small pieces easy for posting to lucky ebay winners.....

1st of aprill already ;D ;D ;D
