Hi Samuel,

wow great pictures,  and some 131 maniacs there  :D
but a shame for the silver 124 Coupe i hope nobody is severely injured! :'(

Enzo  :)

Yes exactly what I was thinking Enzo.  :) :o

Thanks for all the photos Samuel - Looks like one of the best supported Fiat events I've ever seen. Congratulations to the organisers.... and thanks for sharing the event with us.  :)

Driver not injured, except for his pride, but that will heal. Driver and owner I dare say are very disappointed with the outcome, but no-one was injured, cars can be replaced. Some gorgeous cars up there, and some very fast track cars, a 124 BC coupe that I've been a passenger in is a crazy machine, a credit to the Fiatorque boys that built and run it.

some more pictures, please scroll down  :)

That's why I hate circuit racing myself, that 124CC was the nicest of all, was.............
What a pity, nice silver Racing btw.

The orange Racing looks great as well. Very clean car. No unneccesairy spoilers and all. I'm not fond of modern wheels, but these are okay.

Wow what amazing motors ;)

Well done to the organiser, wish we could have more 124's 125's and 131's side by side at our shows!

Glad to hear the 124 driver is ok. Love the 124's and the 125's and obviously the 131's. The silver and orange 131's are my favourite. Love those wheels too on the orange one. That is how I want mine with a fast road engine in it.

Great Pictures. I like the wheels on the 131 Racing and this is coming from someone who likes the standard 131 look.

The 131 Racing really stands out in Orange. There has been much debate on this subject with varying opinions. However to most people I speak to outside of our 'Mirafiori World' this is their favourite colour for Sports / Racings.

It would be great to know what the sales ratios where between the main colours in say 1980. Any suggestions.

Lovely motor...I love um in orange!

This one really looks great. And yes, orange is the most popular color. Too bad i made my orange Walter Rohrl gun metal... :-\ But then again, at that time i already had an orange Racing.

Stunning colour combination and alloys .

The 124cc was mine, went over 3 times.. Lucky the driver was ok and made it without major injury

I will upload more pictures shortly of the event

I am happy the driver is okay MTH, and sad for you, thanks for sharing. I hope you will find the guts to build you a new one

MTH what engines set up's are in these 2 131's?

Any pics please and history please?

Hi All.
Wow great Pictures lads was sad to see the 124 so badly damaged driver survived which was good ???.
I really like the Fiat 131 and as Jason said nice combination of colour and wheels ;).Have to finish now as
my wife insists on me taking some car parts of of her Kitchen ;D.

the silver 131 racing is the only factory Australian delivered one in the country, brought in for the Sydney motor show back in the day. Its  running a 2L tc. he has also fitted factory P/S on it.

the orange one is from the NZ fiat nationals not Australia, so i dont know anything about it sorry!!   

But the silver one has cam mounted dizzy ?

all our 131 2L tc have cam mounted dizzies, are they blocked mounted in the UK?

even mine is a cam mount

The american engines all had cam mounted dizzy's because they mostly had airconditioning.

and the 124 spider/sport have the alternator on the left engine side!
also some 132 and Argenta i.e so the dizzy are cam mounted.

And some 132s and Lancias had dizzies on the inlet cam.
