The July issue of TopGear magazine has a free supplement magazine called "THE 150 GREATEST ITALIAN CARS EVER". They are not in any special order and on the whole of page 47 is "Fiat 131 Mirafiori". Unfortunately the Top Gear editorial team are not knowledgeable enough to know that mirafiori should always be spelled with a lower case "m"  Grin but obviously they are well enough informed to realise what a great car the 131 mirafiori really is  Wink  Cheesy

On a personal note I am glad to see that the Lancia Gamma Coupe also made the 150 Greatest  Cheesy but alas the Trevi is nowhere to be seen...  Cry

It's not a list but a 50 page magazine so not possible to post it here. The magazine is a free supplement to July's issue of TopGear magazine which should be on sale throughout Europe.

It was a great car. Just every Ford owner couldnt see it at the time. For the money in the 80's it took a lot of beating when you compared the 131 Super or Sport against any of the other makes.

Got this magazine, the 131 bits ok but the article about the Lancia 037 said it was sandwiched between the stratos and the delta integrale with no mention of the  S4 !

I arrived back in the UK on Saturday  Smiley Cheesy Unfortunately it is work related for 3 weeks  Cry Sad Huh. However I did buy the magazine and it is a good read and the 131 quite rightly gets a good spread.
