on we drove into the winding country roads, engine purred, exhaust howled.  The Racing hasn't been driven out on the open road since the early 90s

We decided...if you are going to.....

the Racing had picked up a bit of dirt somewhere in the fuel line - not driven since the 90s  - so that was always coming.... limited to about 3000 rpm after that  Sad  we still drove it until dark though  Wink

I'd welcome your input here guys.......

Things I do and don't  remember - last drove a 131 Sport / Racing in about '93?

the petrol consumption.....

nothing in the interior rattled or squeeked

THAT engine, that exhaust

I really don't remember the headlights being that good, they are better that many new cars I've driven..

That gear change - sooo slick.....

Nice to see the pics up Steve. It was a very good day, just a bit of a shame about the fuel problem.

Nice one Steve, looks great with the 14's Wink

That's the thing about 131's, they may get niggly problems but still keep going and get you home Smiley

Hi Al, glad you enjoyed your 131 day out.  Looking forward to seeing the 131 S3 2000 super on the road - sooner rather than later I think after you had the 131 experience  Smiley

Hi Bobby, thank you - All the 131 Sports I drove had 14s  Wink  so it only seemed right...and now that I'm over 25 I can afford new tyres, no more Yogi Ditch Finders  Cheesy

I have to agree, all the 131s that I ever owned have got me home - not as quickly as I wanted a couple of times but always got me home.

ps Love the 131 VX - looks really clean

The car looks absolutely wonderful.

Silver always looks good in 131's whatever the series / type.

That last picture looks the opening scene from Goodfellas - is that a body in the boot Steve?  Grin

You've just described what all ex 131 Sport owners have been missing - I'm sure it's got the juices flowing for many readers!!  Smiley

My 131 racing is now registered in the UK  Smiley 

All the forms for the DVLA drove me mad so I asked Graham from  "classics and cabriolets" for help (member grahamS53)  Between Graham and Paul it was less than a week from posting the docs to having a tax disc in my hand - discount for forum members  Wink


Thanks for the mention Steve, it was a pleasure to help and lets face it she really is a bit special  Smiley Hope you get everything sorted and please feel free to contact us if we can help again in the future. Enjoy. G

Hi, thanks for the posts.  Looks so much better with reg plates on it  Smiley

It's got the UK tax disc on one side and the original Italian tax stickers on the other side...

Steering wheel seems to be on the "other" side but that's adjustable I'm sure  Grin  Tried to change gear with the window winder a couple of times....

I've got the FIAT centre caps for the wheels in my tool box for the moment - too easy to loose if ebay wants ?15? each...

Love the RHD headlights - thanks Bob

It's a great car Albert so thanks for holding on to it while I arranged the transport to Holland to collect it.

Hi Kev, as we know from Theo's post the 131 boot can hold a body with no problems...in mine it's a car cover - I promise  Cheesy

Time for a pic...
