Title: Rear lid mystery - Mk 1 in Racing ? Post by: bolger on January 14, 2009, 02:28:29 PM I have a new rear lid, bearing Fiat part number fiat 4333907 and? "131 Racing" inscription, similar as here:
http://cgi.ebay.nl/COFANO-POSTERIORE-FIAT-131-PRIMA-SERIE-ORIGINALE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ270295326767 Is it possible that first Racings used to have Mk 1 rear lid, then ? I would gladly exchange this lid for a Mk II lid, but perhaps I don't have to? ;) ? Title: Re: Rear lid mystery - Mk 1 in Racing ? Post by: mirafioriman on January 14, 2009, 07:40:33 PM As far as I know only the series 1 cars had this type of bootlid. The sport / racing had the flat bonnet and boot as it was a series 2. The Abarth I think uses this type as the Abarths were based on series 1 shells.

Title: Re: Rear lid mystery - Mk 1 in Racing ? Post by: bellamacchina on January 15, 2009, 06:22:30 PM AS far as I know there were prototype Racings with these bootlid. You have to search in general discussion, I putted there some pictures of proto Racings, also in red and white. Remember that the introduction of the Racing was shortly after the series 2 came on the market, so proto's used quite probably older parts!
