XLF 153X - Where is it now...?

[kev131]

This Fiat 131 Sport has had more iterations than most having started life as a Silver car.



Later it had a fairly drastic cosmetic transformation to green all over (even the tyres!) and the removal of the side rubbing strip. Not quite standard any more but the final look (last photo) is not too hard on the eye.



The owner obviously had some friends with similar interests judging the the collection outside of his house. There is even one there with the same colour scheme as KRENZERJ's car from France.









Well to answer the question "where is it now" around 2005 the car came to Ireland (the car was now black) when it was sold earlier this year and is now the subject of an Abarth conversion.



Knowing the person doing the work and having seen some of his other work this is likely to be the last incarnation of the car as it will too good to change again. I'm looking forward to seeing it's final version.?

I've just had a text update from the current owner of the car in Kerry to say that it is stripped and that welding begins tomorrow in advance of the conversion to an Abarth replica.

Plans are to bring the car to Scotland in May.
