Sorry. I saw it on ebay usa.

What do you guys think? It is local to me. Should I buy?

Interesting! Is this a home-made American racing? I didn't think such a specification car was ever available in the USA. Must be a 2-door 2-litre fuel injected Brava and someone added the European Sport/Racing  external trim, grill, lights, bumpers and badges. Also interesting to see that the American fuel injected cars have the battery on the wrong side. And no radiator expansion tank? Or is it hidden by the side of the radiator similar to Series 3 cars? And I suppose it never rains in California which is why it doesn't have windscreen wipers  ;D ;D

Certainly worth a look and unless the reserve is set at silly money, definitely buy! I would if it was local to me  ;)

Radiator expansion tank should be near the battery "on the wrong side".

Thotos,
I though the same, but..... i find it hard to believe someone would go through all that trouble for a 131.
In the ebay ad, there is a pic of a plate that is near the hood hinges,radiator support. Does that mean anything? Do cars on that side of the pond have it also?

Is there a way to run the vin number to verify?

G'day mania. I am in Australia & my Super Brava Australian spec has that plate with the numbers & bar code. I can not however, tell you what that means.
NOW! Get cranking & get yourself over to his house & buy that car !  >:(
O.

Bob 131,

Are you 100% sure about it being your brothers car???

That is exciting news. Did it always have the plaque?

I'm not sure about the add on parts. It looks pretty original.

Can you verify it with the plaque number or the Vin?

Hmmmmmmmm ::)

I am sure its my brothers old car, I called him as soon as i noticed it. It an original USA californian car the Brava model, when my brother sold it the owner brought all the racing parts that have been used on her. I can put you in touch with my brother who is based in California for more info if needed.

Hi Guys.

My Brother (bob) is right this is my old fiat. It is a USA spec Fiat Brava I bought it complete and bought all the fiat 131 sport parts from the UK. I regret selling her she was a orginal California car no rust.
I don't know the guy that owns it but offcourse he's never seen one like that in the USA I made her the way she looks. As to the vin it just a regular fiat brava us spec.
I did also sell him the abarth remote shift which im sure he has no clue about.
If anyone needs more photos feel free to ask.
it is 100% rust free car.

Like the look of the wheels under that orange sport .. Nice offset..  ;)

Raj,

I have the white one!!!

Please check PM....

Hi,
That white car is a excellent car your very lucky guy. I want to buy it back. It was all stock
with working A/C. The car was originally from SALT LAKE CITY Was owned by old lady
I did get it registered in California and passed our state emission test with flying colors.

The yellow car is also a great car rust free original California car absolutely rust free
it is fuel injection and had a/c but was removed by the prior owner

Raj

What would it cost to get the car shipped to Eire i wonder?

The steering wheel is on the wrong side for you  ;D.
I would hazard the guess that the cost of shipping would in no way equal the cost of repairing a rusty shell. Plus, if it is as cancer free as rajvasir says it is then a sound original will be of more value in the future than a resurrected & resuscitated cancer victim.
Conversion to RHD should be relatively straight forward for you seeing as how I believe you already have all the RHD parts.
NOW! Hurry over there before I beat you to it.

No bother sorting out the steering wheel problem ;D
i have a few racings & a super waiting for the de-rusting treatment think that will do for now lol! ;)

Sold for 7000$
