Hi,

on monday this week i worked in the field and because of the good weather i did not take my company car but
my silver Racing. One of my clients i visited, remembered a friend of him who drove a Fiat 131 in former days,
as they were used as a normal used car Roll Eyes
Today i got some old fotos from him which i want to share with you Cheesy

I like these old fotos with 131 in action Cool

May be there are more of them outside? Grin

I like the red one a lot.
Here is a picture from 1990 when we bought the blue 2000/TC and were selling the gold 1400 CL (masked as a super)

Having had continuous 131 ownership of at least one 131 since I bought my first one in 1979 and being a bit of a photography nutter, I have loads  of old 131 photos  Cheesy

Here's a couple from 1979 (or might be 1980) First one in Paris and second somewhere in Brussels.

Onto 1983 and somewhere between Koblenz in Germany and Luxenbourg. Not much of the car can be seen I'm afraid. But would you believe I still have that green Thermos flask?  Grin

Photo taken on Tower Bridge in London. Not sure of the year but probably 1983. The fog lights didn't last very long on the car because even though I fitted them I decided I didn't like them  Undecided But I still have them somewhere!  Smiley

A new job in 1983 saw the 131S 1600 upgraded to a 131 Sport and it was back to Paris in 1984. Incidentally, I am still in the same job (sort of; it's changed a lot over the years but still the same employer) and the car was only scrapped a few months ago (although still on SORN so technically still  in existence).

My daughter always claimed my silver 131 Sport was hers even at the very young age of 2 in 1990  Smiley  I'm sure the first word she ever spoke was "daddy" and the second was "MINE" while pointing at the 131 Sport  Grin  Unfortunately the car didn't last long enough for her to drive  it Cry
