Title: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: kev131 on September 24, 2009, 05:11:57 PM http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=vgz4k2ql4erk
This is one I have not seen before - Plus it appears to be silver with the light grey bumpers - Again a combination I have not seen before. As the car seems to have been restored (from the description) this may not be how it left the factory! :) Title: Re: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: sid131 on September 24, 2009, 06:42:06 PM looks in good order but i am not keen on the colour coded bumpers & trim, would cost a bit to put right, but if the body is rust free then its worth the dosh!
Title: Re: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: Thotos on September 24, 2009, 08:30:32 PM Sorry guys, that's awful! They obviously got a job lot of silver paint and couldn't be bothered to mask or remove anything before throwing the paint at the car. The bumpers, grill, mirrors and even the wiper arms are silver. And it's got the wrong gear stick and missing plastic trim in the passenger door handle. I know that seems trivial but that as well as the rather dirty interior makes me think the car is unloved. The seats seem to have had the foam replaced but other than that it looks to me as if someone has done a quick paint job for a quick sale.

Title: Re: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: theredx19 on September 24, 2009, 10:00:41 PM Well you should have a look at the ones Bren and Mark just got as that was a find and a half...
Title: Re: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: Thotos on September 24, 2009, 11:31:42 PM I have to say that is harsh Theo.... You are probably right but still looks awful to me. I've never seen painted mirrors on a Sport and painting mirrors, grill and bumpers/trim with body colour makes me think that this was a quick paint job to hide something. I hope I'm wrong and if anyone here buys the car I have a spare gear stick and several of the plastic inserts for the door handle ;D Title: Re: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: sid131 on September 25, 2009, 07:20:42 AM Hi Theo i would be interested in the gear stick as the one i have looks like the dog chewed it.
Title: Re: 131 Racing for sale in Italy Post by: Thotos on September 25, 2009, 09:03:32 AM I said I have a spare but didn't say it was a "good spare" ;D It was getting a bit soft and sticky but I'll find it and see what condition it's in now and let you know.
