Seen this for sale before. Come on then, there are always people on here looking to buy a Mirafiori sport, now is your chance!

HI jim131 - Big welcome to the site.

As Dave says many of us have seen this car on the market for some time - I dont know if it will help but new pictures especially showing the areas that usually rust could help generate better interest. You could go to town on the description and history as well - Always a must with these cars if you want a reasonable price.

You probably saw the white car that sold for ?3900 on Ebay recently so there is a realistaion that the cars are worth this type of money - Best of luck.

PS - If you still have it by May next year I hope that you will come to Scotland!!

Very interesting sunroof detail - could you tell us more about it  ???
Roll top  ???
i.e. no steel underneath  ???

This threads gone very quiet  ??? ???
Anyone know why   ??? ???
Would love to hear more detail about the car  :) :)

sorry guys haven't replied for ages as have no internet!
(moved house)
anyway regards to the sunroof:
it's a full length canvas slide back roof, not a roll top but has steel supports through it which sit on a runner either side. very Italian and very retro. it was professionally installed many years ago before I owned it. I have owned this car since 1992 and it was in storage from 1994 up until 2006 when I restored it.
i will post a more detailed history on the website soon, and include more photos of the conditon of doors etc. :)

The car is for sall  :)

I have been keeping a close eye on this car for quite a while,as i am on the lookout for a 2000TC sport RHD.What puts me off going to look at this car is,the seller states that it was restored in2006,however i ask myself this question?,how come the rust situtation is minimal on the bodywork,as it was just recently restored!!!!!!.A lot more photos of the rust situtation and sunroof should be shown .It does look well in the photos,but these could have been taken,immediately after restoration.It would be great if the seller would reply to sum of the points that i have raised.Slan Eugene

The car was restored structurally by a professional panel beater and mechanically restored by myself. The bodywork has not been touched for some years but the rust is minimal, it is located on both wings.
If I had restored the body work and resprayed the car to mint condition it would make it worth a lot more money. I decided not to restore and respray the bodywork because I like the monza blue colour and anyone wanting to buy it may want to respray it to the original colour, being gun metal grey.
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to contact me via phone or email.

Jim's car has been sold.Does anyone know who bought it?,where it went to and did Jim get the?3250 that he was asking for it!!.Just curious.Also the Abarth that was for sale in car&classic has been sold.Asking price was 50,000.00euro(fifty thousand euro).It was for sale in Italy.Slan Eugene

I am confused about this one.This car is still listed for sale in car&classic,and in a previous thread it was stated it had been sold(having contacted thr owner).Listing date is 22march08.Can anyone out there explain whats going on.

This car has been re-listed again on car&classic.When someone here on the forum phoned about it,they were told it was sold,yet it's still for sale.I am confused ??? :-\.Eugene

when i enquired about it before i bought my 131 i was told it was sold to a guy in Ireland & if the deal fell through he would contact me, but that was over 2 months ago & he didnt & i have bought a 131 sport.

This car has been taken off the car&classic website.Maybe it has been sold,or the owner is pissed off in trying to sell it.It has been for sale for almost a year. :).Eugene

well very bad communication on behalf of the seller but as he said hes got no internet so why put it on an internet based site???

Got an e-mail to say that this car is still for sale.It has been taken off car&classic for a while.I don't know why it hasen't sold.Eugene

Hey guys,
thanks for the interest in my 131.

While it was advertised, I had a lot of timewasters but also some genuine interest from enthusiasts.

I thought I had sold it to a guy in Ireland who was coming to purchase it, unfortunately he must have changed his mind and I heard know more.
I have had a number of enquires of a similar nature but most would not come to Dorset to view it.

So I've decided to drive it to London (where I live now) and will readvertise it with more information and photos.

I have just had it MOT'd and have taxed it, so it's now fully roadworthy again. It will be readvertised in the next couple of weeks.

ps- I do have internet, I didn't have it for a couple of months while I was moving.
So please contact me via e-mail or phone if you have any questions....

pps- Also if it doesn't sell for the price I think it's worth, I will be keeping it and may join your pilgrimage to Turin next year! :)

Better luck this time Jim  ;).

Jim,if i was in your shoes i would keep it.Should you sell it this is what will happen to you :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(.
Now you don't want that to happen do you ;) ::).
Hopefully you will go to Turin ;).Eugene

This is the car that was for sale before.It's Jim's 131.Price before was 3250sterling.Why didn't it sell before ??? ??? ::) at the cheaper price ??? ::).The sunroof detail is strange and the colour is not what the  sport ever came in.If it was gunmetal grey as before,the asking price could be 8000euro or more. ::)Eugene

Eugene i will put money thats its stone rotten like all the rest of them, so buyer beware, where are you now Jim 131??

Eugene would you be interested in a grey sport as I might know a lad who might part with it but he wont openly sell the car due to a high volume of tyre kickers and he dosnt like his tyres dirtied....

if eugene is not intrested pm me with details of  car i dont want to conceive one just want to drive one
