Fiat loveliness

mininuts · 9th February 2016, 21:48

I'll probably get slated for this but, I've loved Fiat 131s since I was a kid. I remember watching the Alitalia Abarth 131s in rallies in the late 70s driven by Markku Alen and Walter Rohrl

Just spotted this road going supercharged 131 on eBay, rarer than a rare thing but, £30k for a Fiat?

Having said that, folk are paying more for old Fords these days

Nothing wrong with the fiat, I had a 2l twin cam in my mk1 escort, went rather well it did.

Had a fiat 132, rather liked it, and a fiat 3p, rather unusual hatchback

My first car was a fiat 600, like the one one the edge of the op's photo. My lancia zagato had the 2L 132 motor. Went really well around the racetrack.😬

I had a fiat 128 Berlinetta.
What a box of rot

but it was quick for a little car.

Rather a nice car of its time the Fiat 131 Mirafiori, used to have one on loan during the late 70's when my 132 was in for service.

I had a brand new FIAT 500L in 1972 and a few years later a FIAT 126. Great little fun cars.

I loved the 124 ST quick and sounded wonderful. A neighbour had a 124 coupe that badly rotted, nice car though, must be worth a few quid now if sound.
