If its of any interest to anybody, Kim Kirk was at my house redoing my TV aerials a couple months ago. He was amazed to see my computer room was awash with 131 stuff, (either that or he quietly thought i was sad..lol) we had a long chat about the old days, 131 sports, ford axles, and Sidwell St Motors (Fiat dealers at the time nr his business, but now relocated) then I showed him this website on my computer.
He was impressed so many people still follow 131's, I hinted to him how pleased you guys would be if he were to register and tell some tales of 131's etc but he was a little reluctant. He had told me that he (thinks) he has a full set of choc-brown rear seats stashed away (taken out of a brand new 131 sport years ago) somewhere, as well as some other parts, but I guess he's too busy to go rummaging about and get sales going.

Nice posting - Tell him he would be totally welcome if he joined the forum- I'm sure he would be very interesting. Also I want that interior if he can find time to get it out...!

Sidwell Motors - In Exeter..?

When I was "restoring" my first 131 Sport this dealer was great for old parts - I had a boot lid and rear panel delivered for ?70 and a pair of genuine Sport  shocks for ?20.00. This was back in 1995 but I'd say that even then, they were one of the few Fiat dealers who had not chucked everything to do with 131s.

Hi juys this pink 131 was an annual entry in the wesy cork rally in Clonakilty, but i have not been down there for a couple of years so its been 3 or 4 years since i have seen it,and despite my best effords he just would not sell it,despite me making him a stupid offer fot it.

This car was featured in ccc magazine a good few years ago,
 also as a little bit of info a friend of mine bought the original LSD axle of him at the time.

I thought i'd seen this car before! I was still at school when I picked up a copy of CCC and still have it!
