This garden was the "almost" final resting place for many 131 Sports in Ireland - The owner (a fellow 3MAer) is a huge Fiat fan with a particular fondness for 131s, as you can see from the photos. I believe that he may have had 10 dead or dying 131 Sports at one stage - At the time that I visited there were only 4 left with a few four door cars.
Unfortunately the collection grew too big for a private home and the authorities deemed that the cars had to be scrapped which they duly were. I think that the last (grey) Sport has been saved for a future project.
The first car is a Co Sligo registered silver Sport.
The next car I believe may be a Dublin car and had a close encounter with a cutting tool one day!
I know little about the black & white car (except that I wouldn't have this livery on my car)
. It was borderline whether it was worth saving or not.
The grey car has gone to a collector so may be saved.
A silver Supermirafiori Series 3 is lurking here in the undergrowth.
These 2 four doors are diesel versions (2500cc).
The white one has to be one of the most outrageous treatments of a 131 that I have seen - Who would be seen in public driving this? It must have been a joke in the car's last days!!
Oh...and the R Grant boot spoiler looks like a thing of beauty compared with this contraption!
