Title: The reason why I wanted a 131 Supermirafiori Post by: mirafioriman on April 14, 2014, 09:05:12 PM Finally found a couple of pictures of my Father's 131 from back in the day. My 131 Supermirafiori project is going to be a replica of this car. It's the reason I always wanted a 131 four door and not a sport.
Yes that's me in the photos I would be about 10 or 11 in them I guess.

Reasonably early one had the full beige velour and a single spoke steering wheel. Was the steering wheel replaced on it Dave ? It has the later wheel 2 spoke steering wheel, the single spoke wheel can brake & were replaced with later 2 spoke ones. Think that Fiat did have a recall but most of them were never replaced :-\ Title: Re: The reason why I wanted a 131 Supermirafiori Post by: mirafioriman on April 14, 2014, 10:09:43 PM yes, looking at the photo it looks like it has the later two spoke steering wheel. I was sure it had a single spoke wheel but perhaps that was an invention of my memory ::)

Title: Re: The reason why I wanted a 131 Supermirafiori Post by: mirafioriman on April 15, 2014, 07:57:07 AM My Father sold it about 83/84. It went to a contact of his in the motor trade and then to auction I believe. I know nothing about it after that. I guess it ended up getting scrapped due to rust like most 131s in the UK did.
