Title: South African 131 Racing Post by: paulcas on November 10, 2013, 09:31:43 PM Hi,
Do any of our South African members know of this car? http://www.junkmail.co.za/motoring/fiat/gauteng/pretoria/pretoria-moot/fiat-131-racing-for-sale-32095707 Regards Paul Title: Re: South African 131 Racing Post by: longhamrob on November 11, 2013, 09:55:05 AM That price equates to ?4200. For a Rhd 131r.

I don't think the price is ridiculous for those that don't know the area South Africa in the inland area has a California type dry climate that keeps cars in good rust free condition compared to the Northern hemisphere. If it is the same car it was for sale for R18000 back then.

Title: Re: South African 131 Racing Post by: steveo+ on January 14, 2014, 05:38:06 PM How would you tell I have always suspected my Abarth replica of being a Racing because it has a battery isolator switch inside the cubby hole?
Title: Re: South African 131 Racing Post by: Billym on January 15, 2014, 11:29:21 AM As far as I know, the only real way is if the VIN no falls within a certain range. The cut out switch in the cubby is not necessarily a certain sign. The works cars had an external cut out as required by regulations AND slotted top struts to adjust camber. Is your car the ex Viljoen car from Cape Town?
Title: Re: South African 131 Racing Post by: benjack on April 08, 2014, 04:03:24 AM I spoke to the owner a few times.
Aparently it has now been sold to "someone from the UK" Anyone have an idea of who's the new owner? Title: Re: South African 131 Racing Post by: sid131 on April 09, 2014, 06:05:17 PM Uk or Eire ;D ;)
Title: Re: South African 131 Racing Post by: benjack on April 15, 2014, 04:04:20 PM Ok., I'll stand down on this issue. I quit geography asap at school. Political studies was not an option.
But I would like to know who bought this car. And are they happy with the purchase. |
