Back up to your 5 No 131's

I assume that No 6 (at one time) would be a record for you 

Now where is that Black Sport / Racing

Six 131s at the same time would indeed be a record for me, but I have owned more Fiats at the same time Back in the early 1990's I owned a total of thirteen Fiat's at the same time  including a 128 SL, a 132 1800 GLS automatic, 124 AS Spider, 124 AC Coupe and three 131 2000TC Super saloons! Ah, those were good times Yes, i'm sure some people have owned more than 13, but I lived in a terraced house with a single garage and no off-street parking, so my neighbours loved me!!

I would dearly love to increase my 131 fleet size with the addition of a black Sport, but I think 5 is my current limit, so I'd probably have to sell one if a black Sport did come along, not that there's too much chance of that unfortunately.

Wow 13 Fiats at the same time  Were they all taxed, mot'd and insured if they were parked on the street 

And in use

I remember turning 17 in the October of 1989 and my friends and I would often be in the local car auctions buying cars. In this period and until mid 1990, there was always a reasonable smattering of 131's, 132's Beta's (saloon's and coupe's) amongst the Cortina's, Capri's, Rover SD1's and Cavaliers. Very Happy Days

The Italian stuff was always very cheap. However by Mid 1990, almost overnight they were becoming very rare. .

In this period it would not have been difficult to buy many of these cars for little outlay.

One car that still sticks in my mind is an 82 Y Plate Beta 2000 Saloon in Red (or was it plum). It was in very good condition except the windscreen was smashed through.

120 Pounds is all it made 

With 4 of your current 131's roadworthy, is it only Albert who currently has more in use
