A mate of a mate used to own this fiat 131 sport for 5 years and then sold it back in 1989, located Hounslow West London, I wonder if it is still alive

another photo of her

Love the stance in the last pic Bob!! ;)

wasn't that the one at brooklands in 90's and wraped round a tree soon after ?

Love the wheels!

A simple set of arches just transforms a 131..

I agree with you there it does transform a basic 131 sport/racing but how does the front arch blend in with the standard racing front splitter or do you have to buy the stradale front end kit?
Do you have any front end pictures please

sorry i was thinking of this one

From memory that car was written off. That reg plate rings a bell, and I am sure I have it somewhere. I bought a W reg Sport from Watford with a load of spares in it from that car including those wheels.

Bob can your mate remember how much he sold it for in 1989?
i sold mine in 1989 in Harlesden NW10 i got ?1100 for it with a years mot ;)
boy did i cry that night always regretted doing that but had no choice at the time as i was broke :(

106usj,
there was a company back in the early 90s called Pro-sport they use to
make a kit for the 131 that comprised of 4 arches & a front spoiler section that
ran along the front of the car joining the 2 front arches...only ever saw 1 sport with it done looked nice, from what I can remember use to belong to james murphy of kilgarvan Kerry .. wonder does he look in on this site ?

PRO-SPORT , Leicestershire, england
ph; 00441 664 501982

I have a note in my book as I priced these parts many years ago ..
4 arches & front spoiler section  came to ?89.95 plus ?30 delivery outside the uk..

Wonder could we convince Nick to arch his racing ? ;D

Sid I love the stance on this car also not to low alround, I think this car sold for around 1500 gbp back in 1989 and was a usual rust bucket.

Parrish they look nothing like the photo of the wheels you have shown

Parrish are your wheels a 1 piece wheels?

Bob131,
Wheels on the car are three piece.

'OEG 658 X' above was owned by a guy called Terry Edwards who came from the Ely area of Cambridgeshire I think. He was a mate of Tony Faucett, both ex-FTCR - as am I. The car was written off by Terry who ran out of talent on a wet country road way back when I owned JPD 969 V - so about 1989-90.

Oh, how I love black Sports  :'(

These pictures really make to think to complete my gr. 4 replica in plain black without any stickers  ???

Is there a picture ftom the front of the car? I would like to see how the front spoiler is  looking.

For me this is the only way allowed to transform a Racing to something else.  ;) Especially the black against the gun metal does it for me.

it's this one I think....

Looks like the owner is most likely in the USA.  He's got a web site with galleys of photos of the car - looks good  :)

I like it very much  :)

One of my favourite non standard 131s of all time...... :)

Is it really just a 4200 mile car ?

Curious that it has a series 3 dash and console. And is that an extra anti-roll bar underneath?

The car has a lot of modifactions. I suspect this is one of the few Racings that were modified with a Volumetrico engine.
It's got the suspension of the Stradale, although not completely Original. Possibly has a 124 differential.
Arches could be the ones H?rmann produced around 1980. I once had a set of these. Needed a lot of work for a proper fit, so i didn't use it.
Spoilers also H?rmann, i think.
Steering wheel is Delta Integrale. 3rd series dashboard and carpet.
Only minor for me is the hole in the roof. But overall a wonderful example.

Hello,

Domain name altikulac.com is in Turkish. Alti kulac means six feet in english domain is a similar one of the co. Website names .

Owner might be a Turkish who lives in USA

 Me too  8) , saw these pics quite a while ago

I met Terry down at brooklands one year when I owned Bobby Sevs silver sport. Nice guy. He offered me the parts that he had left over from OEG 658X. I duly obliged and bought the lot off him and believe it or not, some parts live on, on Parrishs car! (I bet you didn't know that Steve!)

The Clocks from it are upstairs in my bedroom and have the reading of just 24 miles on them. I'm assuming he zeroed them after he built the car(as it was basically a brand new car), so he didn't get very far in it. :-[

He told me he got into a race with a Ford Capri, lost control and ended up in a ditch from what I remember.

The car itself was fixable but he'd spent so much time building the car in the first place, if he was to do it all over again he wouldn't be a married man anymore!
In the end he broke the car.
 He showed me pics of the restoration and build up of the car whilst I was there and to say the car was completely  built outside on the driveway, the standard that he'd got it to (especially in our british climate) was a testiment to his skill and patience. :)

It seems the black cars have had a lot of bad luck when it comes to crashes, Simon.
 When mine got written off by a muppet in a discovery, i got the parts to sort it out as it also was fixable, then due to the loss of storage of another car, the black shell had to stay outside until I found some where for it to live. Within the space of two days, the pikeys had taken it. Not impressed.  :-[
