Interesting with a CL centre console, non-remote gearchange, series 1 handbrake, rectangular twin headlamps and a sunroof! I like the leather(?) seats  

[mirafiori76]

Terrible 

[mirko131]

kit not bad .... the rectangular grille are not Hormann signauture .........

[stathe174]

No it's Lester...

[mirafiori76]

Terrible.
What's the price in Euro's?

[mirafioriman]

It's not really a replica, more just a modified 2 door 131. I quite like the look of it and some of the modifications. Runs a VW motor by the look of it too.

[stathe174]

What is so terrible about it? I know with what I'm going to say an ex member would kill me but if I had a 2door one I would like it better with the wider arches of a stradale...

[mirafiori76]

I know everybody has his own opinion about cars. Mine about this one is that i don't like it. Because of the sunroof, grille and sideskirts. Sorry, but it looks like a cheap VW Golf C with optical tuning. Even worse, it looks like it got a VW engine as well.
I am a purist when it comes to the rally looks of the 131, and i just can't find myself in this one. Just giving my opinion and i respect everyone who thinks different

I fully agree with Mike, also not my cup of tea.  And then the owner claims it is a real collectors piece.  No Fiat collector here in South Africa will buy this car with the VW engine in it.  As you say it is not a Abarth replica but a modified 131 with the wrong engine in it.  R 82000 equils about 7500 British Pounds.

Hi all,

it lies in the eye of the viewer, unfortunately it gives good    and also bad replicas 
or terrible like Mike it says!

Actually.......I like this ....a lot. I think there is always a place for "one off" interpretations of what a modified 131 should look like and I think this is quite a restrained and well thought out creation.

I think that calling it an Abarth replica is stretching things a little but as a customised 131 it looks very well and twin cam engines are common enough if one wanted to have a heart transplant. Full marks on what looks like a quality and integrated creation.....from me at least. 

If I was choosing between a genuine Stradale... in blue  ....and this car, both at equal cost, then the Stradale would win of course but this is a worthy car too. 

[mirko131]

No it's Lester...

Yes i think so  

[Thotos]

If I was choosing between a genuine Stradale... in blue  ....and this car, both at equal cost,

PLEASE find me a (roadworthy) genuine Stradale for ?7500! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!
