I've just watched the film "Taken 2" and noticed the Police use Fiat 131's. A quick search shows they were made under licence in Turkey until 2005 as the Tofaº Murat 131.  I'd forgotten what a nice looking car they were - and RWD  Paul H |

They love them! Saw loads of modified ones when I was out there last year, quite a scene by the looks of it.

Is it difficult to get a car back here from turkey? I am suprised there ain't loads of them over here. It's more than possible to drive back. Friend has land in Turkey he bought to build a small retirement property but the "crunch" means that is now never going to happen. He planned on driving out there with a van full of his belongings and even bought a LDV400 for the journey. He says laws are a bit strange in that he would only be allowed to "import" one vehicle and that was going to be his Honda Deville trike so it meant the LDV would have to leave the country. He says there is an island, possibly Greek, that is the nearest to Turkey where people simply take their vehicles and abandon them. The car park is supposed to be full of non Turkish vehicles with keys in the ignition ! I have a cousin who lives in the Turkish side of Cyprus and he also says some strange rules / laws that he has to abide by. Paul H |

Licence made Fiats are always nice, be they Zastava, Neckar, NASR, Seat or Tofas ;D I'd love to have one, especially an 124, of which there were still quite a few when I had a look on the sahibinden web site.

The dogan and sahin (different trim levels) are fantastic cars. Some of the modified ones are just stunning. Some not so, but simple, 80's wheels, low, metallic paint and a sound system robbed from the local disco, and they are a wicked looking thing. Should have got more shots when I was over there last year.

There's a guy over there that's on the 131 forum.He stocks most of the panels for the 4 door versions but not the 2 door so may be i'm right. |

Wiki suggests they only had 4 doors in Turkey. Sadly they had other engines too, not the twink.
I'd still like one, but the ideal would be seriously modified (inc rhd conversion).
