The interesting thing about the photo of course is the colour of the car at the front! It looks blue to me  ??? and I didn't know such a colour was available for the Racing/Sport  :-\

It's gun metal Theo - This is a photo from the official German brochure on the Mirafiori Sport.

Ladioes feature in quite a few of the images.  ;)

Are you sure? It looks very blue on my PC but then it's not a good scan of the photo...

Yup I'm sure.  ;)

It's likely some corruption in the colour reproduction.

I found the brochure (German) Theo? - It is is dated Nov 1978.

Top speed : 175 km/h (109 mph)

Wheels - 13inch with 187/70/13 and

only 2 colours showing in the pics - Grey & Orange.

I can see why you though blue Theo - One could convince oneself looking at the car.

And there is that woman again! - Crawling around on the grass now - Si - Are you sure you would like two...? Maybe you were thinking about stoking the fire rather than looking at the fireplace...?? ;)

The 1600 TC super had 165/13 as standard on steel rims( normal 80 percent aspect ratio)same cross spoke panel style as the sport/racing only 5J width but they later changed the rim width to 5.5J and fitted 185/70/13 tyres-goodyear I beleive at the time before the goodyear NCT came out -cant remember exactly what they were -but i digress-As you are well aware the sport came with 185/60/14 pirelli P6s fitted as standard .Same cross spoke panel but coloured all bronze/brown as against the silver/ black panels on the 16 TC super -They stopped making the pirelli P6 in 1994- why i dont know -quite possibly -in my opinion the best tyre ever made - :) :)
They should bring the pirelli P6 back on the market -Along with the 131 sport to go with it  ;D ;D

The 13"wheels on the Racing were fitted with 185/70/13 tyres.
