Title: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: c.a.c131 on July 05, 2012, 12:42:58 PM SNAP I got one too ;D
I got this RHD S3 Super 2000/TC, needs a bit of bodywork ;D It's a very late 131 reg in Feb 1984. Got it for a part's car but some day it could be back on the road :) I like the power steering, and its the first 2000/TC 131 I have owned, it's only had 3 owners from new the first owner had it 20 years. Has 80,000miles, these 131 are rare now.

Besides, every 131 scrapped is another one gone :-[
Nice one. Please save her. :) Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: mirafioriman on July 05, 2012, 02:38:23 PM Nice colour ;) Looks pretty good underneath from the photos.

Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: c.a.c131 on July 05, 2012, 06:04:44 PM Thanks guys :) I will be holding on to this one, just have not got the hart to scrap it :)
It still has the Fiat dealer sticker on the back window, my rear window speakers are not as big as Kev's one's ;D (http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx34/minicacj/RedS32000TCSuper004.jpg) Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: bellamacchina on July 05, 2012, 07:49:28 PM Looks for me as a very solid car in a great colour. I think I should restore it, base is great although I didn't see it in the flesh. For sure scarce enough to keep!
Good luck with it. Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: c.a.c131 on July 06, 2012, 02:48:25 PM Anyone know the name of colour and colour code of this 131 ?
Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: 131DHOC on July 10, 2012, 04:44:09 PM I can't see the pictures. Can you please repost them?
Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: Rob 131 on July 11, 2012, 06:28:39 AM Looks a fantastic find.
A great car in a great colour. Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: stathe174 on July 14, 2012, 11:01:30 PM Looks better than many that are still on the road. Keep it in one piece! ;)
Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: 131DHOC on July 15, 2012, 12:01:22 PM why should you scrap this car? It's a 2000tc, I think it would be a shame, expecially with so well preserved underneath. Here in Italy somebody scrapped some days ago this car:

What colour was it? It was always this colour. Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: 131DHOC on July 17, 2012, 02:20:33 PM Are you sure? Metallic red was not an option at his times...
Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: c.a.c131 on July 17, 2012, 08:22:45 PM Are you sure? Metallic red was not an option at his times... It's the only RHD 131 Super S3 I have ever seen in this colour, it comes up more maroon (red) in the photo's. Its like a maroon/copper colour in reality when you see it, and looks more red in the photo's. These are the only other photo's of this colour I have.

It is original for sure, I will look if I can find it in a colour card.
Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: mirafioriman on July 17, 2012, 08:37:58 PM I once owned a metallic brown series 3 super. Still have the wings, doors, bonnet and bootlid ;D
It wasn't my favourite colour >:( I do however really like the red metallic colour ;D Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: hammerbeirne on July 23, 2012, 07:29:56 PM This is a lovley car

It is original for sure, I will look if I can find it in a colour card. THIS COLOR IS NOT AS RARE AS IT MAY SEEM AS I HAVE PERSONALLY COME ACROSS A FEW OF THESE IN THE EIGHTIES. THOUGH I CAN NOT HELP WITH THE PAINT CODE Title: Re: My New 131 Number 4 Post by: 131DHOC on July 25, 2012, 10:21:34 AM The only metallic colour that looks a little reddish is the "marrone bruciato metallizzato 732", it's a metallic reddish brown and it's not the same as the colour of your car, which is clearly red and not brown.
I own a 131 in this colour and is not the same thing as yours, but it's clearly the same as the old official fiat pictures you posted: Are you sure? Metallic red was not an option at his times... It's the only RHD 131 Super S3 I have ever seen in this colour, it comes up more maroon (red) in the photo's.
