Does anyone else have a soft spot for the 131 Mirafiori and SuperMirafiori?
Just been reading a magazine article about Fiats battles with Ford in 1970's rallying and it occurred to me that it has been years since I've seen a 131 out on the road.

Oh and the Russian rip offs don't count.

Actually I have an 131 Supermirafiori standing in the garage. The rear-diff is broken, but the car has only had a single owner and it stands completely original.
It has a little bit of rust, but nothing worth mentioning.

Someday I will hopefully have the time to freshen it up, and get her spinning. Already found the parts broken.

I'll post a picture once I get home. ;)

I knew there must be some good examples left out there in the wild. I think all the ones in the UK have either rusted away or been restored to pristine condition.

Oh and this appears to be my 3000th post.

That only looks like it needs recommissioning. Is the underside in as good condition as the top?

Yes, the underside is also very good. It is indeed a garage-queen! :)
Only problem is the rear-diff, and the engine needs to be taken apart since it is stuck. :)

My dad is indeed a car enthusiast we have a bunch of veteran & vintage cars. :)

Thats just the perfect excuse to rebuilt it to a better spec.

Must be plenty of hot Fiat parts that will slot straight in there.

We still have quite a few runners here in Malaysia. Some completely rebuilt from ground up.

I have always been in love with the 131 Racing Abarth. Unfortunately the Abarth version never made it to our shores except for the 131 Racing 2000.

I have a 131 sport, that I am turning it into a GRP 4 replica.
