I always feel a bit jealous when I read the performance stats of the SA version Racing. So much better than the series 2 version. The comments about it in the road tests seem over the top for what we know of the series 2 version, braking, accuracy of the speedo, overall performance, etc but I guess they must be correct......I think it's time that Heini built a replica!!! ;D Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: Heini131 on July 12, 2013, 03:29:18 PM Wonderful car, especially for the ones with the well known "Series-One-Nitis"... ;D
Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: Plopes on July 12, 2013, 03:36:47 PM What is "Series-One-Nitis" ??
Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: Heini131 on July 12, 2013, 03:55:49 PM You should ask Simon, his english is much better than mine ;D 8)
It`s kind of a terminal illness ;) But nothing serious, it describes the Series 1 lovers of the 131... http://www.131mirafiori.com/131storyp1.htm Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: Plopes on July 13, 2013, 12:42:23 PM Some dashboard shots.

Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: Sev131 on July 13, 2013, 03:38:03 PM Plopes, that is one nice series one :) Do you know if any 131's went to East Africa?
Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: Plopes on July 13, 2013, 04:54:29 PM I Know that none of the 16 Racings went there, I'm not sure about any of the others.
Title: Re: S.A 131 Racing Road Test Post by: 131R on July 26, 2013, 11:02:01 AM Hi, I have mentioned here on the Forum before that I resqued one of the Racings and am in the process of restoring the car. It is coming along SLOWLY! First two pics the day I collected the car. Stood for many years under a tree. Greetings from S.A. Willem
