The first time I saw it I thought it was my old 1600 Auto, but clearly it's not At the moment it looks good value, but I'd be extremely interested to know what this car eventually sells for.

I think that it's very hard from the pics to prove that the mileage is genuine and I'd personally like to see some documentry evidence (old MoT or a service book) before putting too much faith in the 29k shown. Also, the drivers seat looks extremely dirty for a low mileage car - my 1600 had more miles on that this and looked much 'newer'.

Still, the body looks OK - these usually go a lot worse on the door bottoms and the rear sill/floor area. Obviously the rear archs and around the fuel cap are the usual places to check first - and they look pretty good in the pics that I can see.

I'd say go for it guys, looks like a good proposition! May the best man (and someone from this forum!) win

Hi Simon,

I've seen your old car in Portlase Ireland lately, i think when Gerafiori and I were out 131 hunting we came across two 131's that evening . An  automatic and silver CL.. I think we even got a pic...........................when i find them i'll post them up.

cheers Ger

Still a bargain people! I'm not convinced the mileage is genuine however, the seller openly admits he has no proof of the mileage and the condition of the interior leads me to question whether it is 29 or 129,000 miles. My silver 131 originally had the same interior and had done about 70,000 when I bought it (one previous owner who verified the mileage to me) and the interior was still 'mint' with no wear to any of the seats or the carpets.

Still for ?300 any 131 is cheap in my opinion if it is not terminally rotten.

I do of course still have my 131 Supermirafiori 1600 T/C auto which I would consider selling. 52,000 miles, it needs some bodywork, but would make a nice car.

Congratulations Jason!  It's about time you got a 131 again.  So obviously you'll be joining us for 3ma09 next year. 

[kev131]

Congratulations Jason - It took a while but you are now in the fold again well & truly. Are you sure that this will satisfy your craving for a grey Sport though..?

Loks like my estimate of ?5/600 was not too far off. 

[jasonh131]

like this one you mean

[italianxrays]

Well done Jason, I am delighted for you,going to a good home.

I have a set of 14"steel sport wheels no tyres need refurb you can have them if wanted FOC, anyway let me know. I have relations near Alton sometimes venture South but hate the M25 etc Auitumn Italia perhaps ??

My131's  coming out soon watch this space.for the dreaded pics not sold my Alfetta, decided keep Alloys for the 131 so nice.


Goodluck anyway

Jason - Have you picked up your new car yet?

I'm really keen to hear how it is in the metal and how it drives.

Did you get a bargain or a rot box? Tell us what it's like - I really hope you got a good one!
