Well I know this should be in the seek them we seek them there section but I think this is more a general discussion. Was talking to some of the older Fiat Ireland people during the week and telling them of the GK event to which one of them told me about a 131 Abarth which Fiat Ireland had in the day and I am wondering does anyone know of its where abouts as the only thing is it was driven on trade plates for demos as the Motor Tax office could not work out the rate of tax on it but I know that they did end up with some interesting stuff in Fiat at the time as I remember the father having pretty much one off cars in the day. So if any one knows of any info on this car as remember it is from a time when many dealers kept the special cars in storage and never registered them.

Well Eugene just about all the sports cars and one offs we had were lhd and a few even came registered to Fiat Torino so they even had TO plates on them but this car was unregistered as I know that Fiat had a 124 abarth around the same time as the dad use to have it but we never minded the lhd thing....

LHD is the euro norm as we are "wrong" with RHD but back in those days there would have been few people who could get near a car like that on the road to see where the wheel was and it would have been kept fairly well hidden when parked up....

The 131 abarth was before my time but I know the dad had a 124 abarth when they were launched but the lhd never sticks in my mind as we had that many of them...

Well the holy graile has been found but the owner has asked for no more information to be passed on but that it is in "new" condition and located in the border counties.....
