Simon,i hope you don't keep them outside ???.The green one seems to be parked on that spot for a while,judging by the grass around it,however they all look very well ;).Eugene

The red (Abarth) and orange (1600 Special) cars are normally kept in a locked dry garage, but have been temporarily moved onto the drive so that the building works can continue to my home - hence the scaffolding ;) I'd rather they got wet for a few days than were hit by flying masonry or splashed with wet plaster :o

The green car is my 'spares car' and has several very nasty holes in the floor and the front of the rear arches into the box sections, and is probably past saving :'(. Thing is, even though I purchased it for 'scrap' I'm extremely reluctant to break it as mechanically it's so sweet and it only has 19k miles on the clock 8)

Those colours blend together nicely Si.

Love to see more detailed pics of the 4 doors cars - I've only ever seen snippets of them.  ;D

Maybe it's time to figure out stacking those 131 like in the volvo ads to save space , Simon? ;D
The green car most probably be at the bottom since it is going to be as spares? ?:-\  :D

Must admit Baja that I hadn't thought of stacking my 131s quite like the Volvos :D, but if I get a few more (as I probably will over the coming years) it might just solve my parking difficulties! ;)

I've always thought that the colours were good together too Kev. When I get a few moments I'll take more pics of the Specials and post them up for everyone to see, although the green car is especially poor :-\ My orange baby is still very good though and has a Guy Croft re-worked head. Cost me a small fortune but well worth the money in terms of extra performance ;D

The CD 68 wheels do come up on ebay from time to time but as Gremlino has already stated they are seriously expensive. There was a set of 4 recently for sale in Australia, straight out of the crate and un-used which sold for almost ?2,000 sterling iirc :o I have never seen copies either.

I think that most of us appear to have an 'illness' when it comes to Fiats :D It's extremely difficult to own just one isn't it?? ;D 8) ;) :D

Great pic Ja. ;)
