Title: Couldn't believe my eyes
Post by: Robert on January 26, 2015, 06:45:58 AM
Not strictly 131-related, but worth mentioning:

Yesterday, driving south on the Autobahn A3 towards Munich, the car stereo blaring AC/DCs Thunderstruck, right between Auditown and BMWCity I happened to overpass a light metallic blue

Fiat Regata 85S    :o

The first Regata I have seen in 15 years  8). It has the Ingolstadt registration IN-BL 1986 which makes me think it is an 86 model, and it's a daily driver, since it was out in January on a not too pretty day.

Unfortunately I didn't have my camera ready  :(

Did it have these type of door handles like the one in the photo or did it have square one ?

Sorry Chris, couldn't see that in the second I passed by the Regata...

The color was lighter than in your pic, however, and metallic.
