Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: david on May 31, 2010, 04:51:02 PM I can remember those glass sunroofs being fitted to loads of cars in the early eighties but thankfully my sport was saved from this. The picture above looks like someone has visited halfords in their 131 on a sunday afternoon and fitted every bit of tat they had in the shop !

Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: 106usj on May 31, 2010, 06:36:50 PM I knew 2 Super Mirafiori's that had that back screen lovure up my way when i was young when ever i smell that green magic tree car air freshner it brings me back to hassling my brothers mate for a spin in it non stop.
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: sid131 on May 31, 2010, 08:12:12 PM 106 i actually have one although it needs repair but i will get it sorted Brensports has a perfect autoplas louver on his orange 131
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: 106usj on May 31, 2010, 08:31:34 PM I think they look quite good on the 131 its an era thing and that was the in thing at the time so i would consider fitting one if i had one as its retro as they say nowadays
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: sid131 on May 31, 2010, 08:38:42 PM I have to agree that the sunroofs are daft but at the time they were the way to go, i even fitted one to a 1967 mini with sliding windows (wish i still had it) i have a 131 sport here with a sunroof & its horrible but back in the day it was the biz!
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: stathe174 on May 31, 2010, 08:45:39 PM I like the look with the louver and the sunroof. But especially for the sunroof should be placed by who knows how to cut the roof because we have enough rust without it...
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: 106usj on May 31, 2010, 08:49:39 PM I would have to draw the line at the side exhaust system thats just taking things too far ! ;D

Post by: sid131 on May 31, 2010, 09:12:04 PM well i had that exhaust one time, i bought it back in the day & it lived under my bed & i never fitted it to any car (shame) sold it on to a guy who fitted it to a morris 1000 with a fiat 1.8 twin cam!!!
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: david on May 31, 2010, 09:28:09 PM Theres one finishing touch missing from the car above and thats the stick on green sun tint at the top of the windscreen with steve and tracy on it :D :D :D
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: hammerbeirne on June 01, 2010, 11:03:31 AM A man I knew in the 80s fitted a sunroof to his 30 thousand mile gunmetal grey sports and it was an inch to much to the left sickened :-[
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: david on June 01, 2010, 12:59:30 PM A sport I owned in 90/91 had one fitted by a previous owner and it used to drip on you first thing every morning and I hated it although I did like the original steel factory roofs but they were rare in 131s. The full lengh webasto roofs were worst of all as when they got old and leaked a bit they rotted the inside of the roof.
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: 106usj on June 01, 2010, 05:21:32 PM Mine was well fitted but tends to vibrate above 90mph & it does not leak which was a surprise :)
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: MarkoH on June 01, 2010, 07:37:51 PM Here are the prices in Euros. The prices are converted from Finnish Marks to Euros. The price shown includes the factor (2.657) which defines the value of the money in 1980. 100 ? in 1980 = 265.70 ? in 2010)
- The louvre, 165 ? - Chrome side exhaust, 156 ? - Roof spoiler, 165 ? - Boot lid spoiler, 169 ? - Front spoiler, 125 ? Unfortunately there is no prices shown for the sun roof... With this factor I calculated the price of my car. In 1980 my Racing's list price was 65 900 FIM. Nowadays it equals to 29 450 ?... Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these...

very intresting price's i would say these accessories were expensive considering it was in the 70s. Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: stathe174 on June 02, 2010, 07:32:27 PM Just try n find them today... You'll see the true meaning of expensive... :o
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: 106usj on June 02, 2010, 07:37:19 PM Yes im sure you are right, but i am saying for being in the 70s they were expensive
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: stathe174 on June 02, 2010, 07:44:35 PM Yep you 're right also... ;)
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: sid131 on June 02, 2010, 08:06:53 PM How much was a 131 sport new in the UK in 1980? i know that they were around ?7000 irish punts then
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: 106usj on June 03, 2010, 12:19:04 AM What is ?7000 Irish punts in euro now ?
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: david on June 03, 2010, 06:59:09 AM According to autocar magazine a 131 sport was ?4636 in febuary 1979 and a supermirafiori ?4102 and a 132 2000 ?4850
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: sid131 on June 03, 2010, 07:21:21 AM ?7000 Irish punts = ?8890 Euro
Title: Re: I really would like to have some of these... Post by: MarkoH on June 03, 2010, 10:22:29 AM ?7000 Irish punts = ?8890 Euro You have to understand that the value of the money has changed dramatically. If you had 8890 ? in 1980, nowadays it equals to 19900 ?. ... If I just convert the FIM's to Euros without the factor of the money value change, the prices are: - The louvre, 62 ? - Chrome side exhaust, 59 ? - Roof spoiler, 62 ? - Boot lid spoiler, 64 ? - Front spoiler, 47 ?
