Title: Where do old 131s go to die...? Post by: kev131 on December 28, 2007, 11:17:30 AM This garden was the "almost" final resting place for many 131 Sports in Ireland - The owner (a fellow 3MAer) is a huge Fiat fan with a particular fondness for 131s, as you can see from the photos. I believe that he may have had 10 dead or dying 131 Sports at one stage - At the time that I visited there were only 4 left with a few four door cars.
Unfortunately the collection grew too big for a private home and the authorities deemed that the cars had to be scrapped which they duly were. I think that the last (grey) Sport has been saved for a future project. The first car is a Co Sligo registered silver Sport.

(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img218.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img220.jpg) I know little about the black & white car (except that I wouldn't have this livery on my car) ::). It was borderline whether it was worth saving or not. (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img221.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img222.jpg) The grey car has gone to a collector so may be saved. (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img225.jpg) A silver Supermirafiori Series 3 is lurking here in the undergrowth. (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img216.jpg) These 2 four doors are diesel versions (2500cc). (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img223.jpg) (http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l250/kev131/img224.jpg) The white one has to be one of the most outrageous treatments of a 131 that I have seen - Who would be seen in public driving this? It must have been a joke in the car's last days!! :o Oh...and the R Grant boot spoiler looks like a thing of beauty compared with this contraption! ??? ::) Title: Re: Where do old 131s go to die...?

On a lot of pictures , especially from GB or Ireland I see red interiors, anybody can help me with a good complete red interior? |
