Sold a 131 today!

[mirafioriman]

Today one of my 131s found a new buyer. After advertising it on about 5 websites and having it on ebay I decided to put it in Classic Car Weekly. The first man who responded came today as promised, brought with him the cash and a trailer and a suitable deal was struck.

The new owner has a keen interest in 131s having been and continuing to be a 131 sport owner for a number of years. He wished to add a 131 4 door saloon to his collection and now has one. I hope that soon the car will be back on the road and in use.

Here is a picture of the car about to leave to its new home. The new owner was a little camera shy!



The new owner does not have a computer or use the internet, but I did tell him to get down to an internet cafe and join us here on www.131mirafiori.com?

Not sure on the timescale, but he hopes to have it back on the road and keep it for a good few years!

Well done Dave

Just out of interest I should know but why does this car have the rubber body moulding strip against mine which has the lower mouldings ? Is it variation between models as I thought mine was a mk3 on the X plate.

The green S reg I sold to Guy from Derby had the strips being I thought a MK2

Sorry if I am being a bit thick

This one was indeed a series 2 Supermirafiori. It was a 1600cc twin cam. In the UK we only got 2000cc series 3s, although others got 1300cc and 1600cc twin cams too. I guess it was a late series 2 and yours is an early series 3.
