Tried getting odd bits from this guy. He's very very quick to acknowledge 1st email but when you request  smaller value parts he goes silent. He's done it twice. His 2nd email said he has 3 sports that were all rusted out. Two weeks ago he broke a 84 supermirafiori. Obviously a fiat lover im suprised he isnt a member here.

I believe this seller to be Mitch from 130 strada website/forum.

I have tried to buy things from him before and have been given the silent treatment, I think as soon as he knows if ur a member of this site he does not like it????

I was contacted last week from a chap who bought a sport from him 6 months ago, who had been looking for 1 for ages as we do, anyway he got the car on the trailer took it home and when he went to take it off the trailer the car lieterally split into 2.

Yes, I think you're right. The seller appears to be Mitch from the Strada130 site.

I've always found him OK, and he was gutted when he had to sell his newly found 131 Sport. Bob131, are you suggesting that he knew it would break apart which is why he sold it? ??? I'd have thought that any 131 stored in an open barn for years would be pretty weak in the body. :-\

There is a place for all like minded people (in this case 131 lovers ;D) on this forum and he is more than welcome to join us here ;). I know that many of us here are members of both forums - me included. 8)
