mk2 supermirafiori for sale

[mirafioriman]

Having seen the photos,that car needs a strip down,then put on a roller chassis jig and all the rotten bits cut out and new metal pieces welded in properly.To be honest,one would want to get that car for free with the amount of work that has to be carried out on the car.There are rotten bits that will show up later,which one can't see now.This is only my opinion ::)Eugene

I agree too Eugene, however, in todays climate it is very unlikely you would get a Super and especially a Sport for free! My friend sold a LWB nissan Terrano on ebay today and it made less than ?350. Much less than this rusty Super will sell for

Rubish.....a quick good welder could have them 4 rotten bits cut out welded up and mot ed  in week. then you can actual use the blo*****  thing on the road and not sit in a garage sritped down for months if not years on end ..
 get out and use these cars thats what they there for ,,and enjoy
 i hate consours- y  pampering types too afraid to use it in case its get damaged or scrached or heaven forbid get dirty or wet

[mirafioriman]

Problem is if you do that the chances are the car will continue to rust away and end up rotten and probably scrapped in a few years. If these cars are to be saved in the long term they need to be restored properly.

I also like cars to be used but also you have to try and ensure their long term survival.

i agree with you there dave, do it right the first time and you have a decent car for years,after that hopefully it should only need regular maintaince, and use the car whenever you wish

[sid131]

well sam22 we know what usually comes out of the Uk

[sam22]

well bidding has ended and the car sold for 921 pounds, nice money, any one on here buy her. nick i will post more about my car when she is totally finished

[eugene]

Completely way over priced.Maybe when the buyer comes to collect it and sees the condition it is in,maybe he or she won't take and then it will be re-listed.Remember the wine series 1 that was for sale in Wales a while back,it made a big price first time,second time when re-listed it only made one eight'th of the first price.Anyway best of luck to the purchaser .Eugene

Yes, cars are made to be driven. I am more the concours type, drive my cars carefully in the good period of year.  But Jason, I remember you a while ago about a tiny little blemish on your car
The money is high for this car in my opinion. I also know that 2nd series Supers are scarce, already LHD but even more RHD but this car needs serious work and the interior is not "Super" in condition.
I wish the new owner good luck!

[jasonh131]

yes the blemish  ,one more adding  to all the others but on a total unblemishged bit  
 the guy at the garage said someone offered ?900 to take it off ebay. there just arn't
 enough economicaly salvagable 131 left
 good luck to someone and we might see it in germany next year

Sold for ?921 - which seems rather a lot to me regardless of how rare it might be Seems the credit crunch has passed some people by - lucky them.

It's fast getting to the point where the costs associated with my favourite Classic Car hobby are turning me into an "internet watcher" rather than a 'buyer' Looks like I'll struggle to buy a replacement for my Racing as I don't appear to be able to afford the prices these days.

Hi Jason although not exactly the concourse type myself getting away from standard, i kind of come as you described i dont like getting my celica wet or dirty but if that happens then a good clean is in order i do however use it when its good weather & it does get driven hard but after 5 years & almost ?20k spent i think you would be reluctant to use it in bad weather, now my 131 is getting the same treatment & will probably cost less than the celica but still a lot of money so it will be used in the same way & will probably be pampered also

Hi Nick.Agree with you ,has 4 wheels and they were designed to go round. The Fiat motors were designed to go hard..I use mine to its full potential.As you will see when i get around to the Utube run in mode.BUT don't like to see it Dirty.Go Hard, Go Fast,.Agood wash and polish and do it all over again. Cheers Gary
