Hi all, I am considering selling my fiat 131 mirafiori sport. The car is 1978 ? and is believed to be the oldest remaining 131 sport in the UK and Ireland. Also an interesting point is that the number plate is only 1 digit off the original fiat press car.
The car is orange with black exterior trim and is in excellent condition. The car has only covered 79,000 genuine miles and drives beautifully. The car was used fairly regularly from 1978 up to around 1995, at which time it was put into storage and then fully restored in 2004. Since 2004 the car has been kept garaged and only used in the summer as a ?Show Car? at classic and vintage shows.
This particular car has also been the feature of several magazines, including the front cover of Irish vintage scene. Full details below:
?Irish vintage scene summer 2010 ? picture of the car at a vintage show ? photographer?s comment was: ?Amongst the cars my favourite was this beautiful fiat 131 mirafiori sport?
?Irish vintage scene March 2011 ? Full 5 page spread on the fiat 131 covering all models. This includes individual write ups on all the cars featured ? and my car made the front cover.
?Pacenotes magazine May 2011 ? Full 4 page spread on the car including pictures.
?Auto-trader NI ? July 2011 ? 2 page cover on the car including picture.
I have owned the car for nearly 5 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. The car drives superbly and will definitely be sure to put a smile on your face. The car gets comments everywhere it goes, the striking orange paint work combined with the revolution alloys, 9? cibie spot lamps and the ?snort? of the twin cam engine through a stainless steal exhaust make this car simply un-miss-able and unforgettable.
The interior of the car is also in excellent condition. The black velour seats are very comfortable and have not faded as so many do. Also the head cloth has been re-stuck and doesn?t sag ? again a common problem on most 131?s. The dash and centre console are both perfect and everything works as it should. I have also fitted a Brand new (original box still in the boot) original 131 sport Voxson radio.
The car is currently MOT?d till the end of April 2012 ? but I can supply it with a full 12months MOT if the buyer wishes.
Spares package also available with the car ? I have lots of spares both new and used which are available on negotiation. Also if the revolution alloys are not to you taste ? I do still have the original 14? 131 sport wheels with tyres. Also the spot lamps aren?t wired up and are only for show purposes ? again if these are not to your taste they can be easily removed.
Lastly I must point out that I don?t need to sell this car, so I?m not going to give it away. But I have been offered the chance to buy another car which I am interested in, and with me owning 4 other classic cars unfortunately I don?t have garage space to keep them all.
The car is in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. I?m 30minutes from both Belfast airports and ferries, and will gladly assist in helping out if anyone from the UK wishes to come and view.
All of you know how rarely 131 sports come up for sale, and to get one in RHD thats restored and ready to go, and in orange (best colour in my opinion) is even more rare. So don't miss your opportunity before it either sells or before I change my mind.
