	Welcome to my Fiat 131 Mirafiori. It started life as a 131 1600 CL, it has been fully rebuilt body wise and resprayed BMW Stirling silver. Fitted with a 2000cc twin cam, Koni adjustables all round with slightly lower Mirafiori sport springs. I have fitted a velour interior from a Supermirafiori, electric windows and central locking. Most recent mod is a set of twin 40 Dellortos.

	Cool car. Almost bought one just like this from Leeds about 4 years ago. The seller said that it was in mint condition, but the underside told a different story, so I backed out.....

	Mine was rusty up top when I bought it, but the underneath was suprisingly sound. The car had been rustproofed when new, but the owner had only done the underside it would appear!

	Strange coincidence, the car cost me £90 when I bought it around 1999. Unfortunately I do not have any decent photos of it as bought. I will try to scan one in though. The only ones I have were taken with an ordinary camera and did not come out too well......

	As promised some poor quality photos of how it looked when I bought it. The interior was actually mint! I threw away the original seats. I wish I had kept them now!

	Nice. I remember travelling in one of these when it was new many years ago. Belonged to a friend of my dads, I am sure it was a similar reg. Same interior as what yours is now but the car was blue.

	Blue with beige velour, a nice combination. Nice pic of the red 131 Supermirafiori 1600T/C. (My favourite model)

	As I don't know the specific models I was expecting a Bright orange thing with black arches. Pleased to say i was pleasantly surprised by this. Looks really really good!

	That would be a Mirafiori sport. They are getting quite a following and hence becoming quite expensive!

	Nice car! Takes me back to the days when I had mine. 1.3, 2 door in red. Well it was when I got it. Forget how many colour schemes I went through with it when I put the big 'n' little slot mags on it. ;D I really must get me a scanner to get some of my old pics up
