oh so tempting.. Voxson radio inc........divorce proceedings optional :)

and yes I have the means but its a big No No........thats life !!

nice clean unmolested car

now that is a cheap car and looks totally original.......

Nice car... too bad for me that its a rhd...

Looks good but i wonder what the last 18 months has done to it sitting outside stationary. We all know what the box sections underbody hold!

If it was a twin cam....would of been long gone by now.

Feedback gone from 100 to 80%?

anyone call about this to see what its like?

Been told it's been off road since 2004, sat outside the last 18 months.

Hi guys, i bought it, now just need to figure a way to get it back home now as were on holiday  :D

      Roger................

Well done Roger. Another 131 saved from the crusher no doubt. 8)

Yes congrats Roger - Would be interesting to see some better pictures of it.... :)

congrats!
now you have the same car as me - 1.6cl
hope yours is in better condition

Still waiting for some contact, mined you I'm sitting here in Snowdonia looking out over some serious scenery, I mean, it must drop hundreds of feet just under where we've parked the van for tea.

  Any way, if we actually get this car, I'll let you all know.

              See you all later

                                Roger......................

done a deal with this chap(jason) yesterday at 7.27 to be exact ,when he emailed me and said he would accept my offer of 300 and hold it till early sep,,and also said he would take it off the bay .i didnt do a bin as he accepted through the offer >:(   .i have to say im a bit p...ed..   aside from my rant     i hope it works out a good  1 for you roger ;)

Good job Roger... Is another TOAD coming to us soon? ;)

Hi jack, really sorry but we were in the area so couldn't resist

It won't be another Toad, but a Son Of Toad ;D It'll be our family run about for about the next... till its dead, and then we'll use it some more.  :D

         Roger.......

dont be sorry ,its not your fault ,,  wear it well :)

Thanks every one, I'll do my best to do something good with it. I expect it's getting Toads old parts after all, Toad's getting all new stuff, so if you want that Voxon radio,    there are some other nice bits, but its still hanging on the back just now. The boys tell me the underside's not so bad, but I think I'll look for myself later.

  More thoughts later, Debs has gone to see some cup's or mug's at this Liverpool place, where is it that liverpool keep there crockery? 

      Catch you later

               Roger...........pix when I get home

The car in transit. We bought an 'A' frame from Birmingham and were now taking it from Liverpool, all the way home to Rochester in Kent. This is probably the fastest it's been in the last decade, or most likely it's whole life. Pics below.   Roger.................

WELL IT's TAXED NOW , ARE YOU RUNNING AROUND IN IT ....

Hi Jason,

     The cars on an A frame behind the van, So its a trailer whilst its on the back. It is being rebuilt with Toad OLD race parts, but should still be a 131.  The shell seems Ok, but one front strut had rusted through and would have collapsed, never seen that one before.
 
             Roger...........

Hi Roger what size are the wheels?

 
  I think there about 8" or 9" they used to be Toads wet rims, they don't fit the standard arch, what you can't see is the amount of Camber the kids put on it when they changed the struts over.  It will need arches like Toad had, or maybe the arch edge rolled to bring it out.  Little Toad,  will most likely get Toads arches for now, and then painted as Toad was. It will make a change from the Abarth that's all.
