On ebay a 131 Supermirafiori RHD with potential. Will be interesting to see how much it makes. If I had the cash and the space I would love it, but as I have just sold one I don't think it is going to happen!

My prefered model too, a series 2 super. Just look at that interior?

Just spotted it as Im looking on ebay for a few bits and bobs for the super, I think I might just take a look.
Watch this space !!

Hmmm - What are all those marks around the suspension turret - Welding..? Hint of scabbiness under the bonnet...?

Why no pics of the front but 2 photos wasted on the interior of the boot where very few 131s go rusty..?...Two more pics wasted on badges.

I might be wrong but this looks like a set of selective photos - If it was me I would be asking for lots more photos before bidding.?

Took the guy 10 years to find? I'm not surprised if he was always looking for a 'Supermiriaflori'.

It's been off the road a long time and that suspension turret looks like it's had a repair at some point.

It's a huge project for someone.

Ha ha - Well spotted Si - We should keep a record of all the different mis-spellings of Mirafloweri that we come across!!

a 1600 supermiraflowery was my first 131. was a great car (in white, with dark blue velour interior). got sold on and the guy wrote in off in an accident 
but if i had the space & time, i'd certainly try to get this one

[mirafioriman]

Well, It looks like a good opportunity to me. Yes, if you are interested I would definately recommend going to view if you can or at least asking for photos of other areas. It always amazes me though, how there are so many people who say they want a 131, but when one comes up for sale then start finding a million excuses not to buy it. I guess that is why there are a hard core of owners and some people who are always talking about wanting one, but don't actually end up with one.

I understand that not everybody has the space, time or skills to restore a project, but I also believe that you have to be realistic. How many 131s come up for sale? Not many. How many RHD examples come up for sale in the UK? Even less. How many come up for sale now at affordable prices? Very few.

This is only my opinion and I don't want to upset or offend anyone. I do hope though that someone on here buys it and brings it back to it's former glory.

[gerafiori]

i would agree with you dave, i would love to tackle it
most of its life in sunny portugal must have preserved the underside
that front turret looks suspect but dont let it put you off

[mirafioriman]

The car sold then. Remember that red 131 Kev posted up recently? The buyer of this car is the former owner of that one......

[markwilliams131]

i no the guy who bought the car he said its mint no rust just needs 2 be rubbed down and panted
also new doors and wings went with the car o and around the turrets that everybody was talking
about was only waxoil    didnt see the red car dave was it a sport or super

[nash]

It was a super, and in reply to what happened to it? The car is in england been looked after and cared for by another 131 nut, which i'm still in contact with.

The car on ebay is now home doesn't need much work doing and will be done as soon as i get the time!! (You know who im talking to here )

[bellamacchina]

Bloutiful Miriaflori!  Although I prefer a Miraferrari

[markwilliams131]
