I'm always on the lookout for old Fiats. I'm interested in the 131 Mirafiori and currently fancy a 132. If anybody has one, knows where there is one or comes across one, let me know! They look like this: The Fiat 131:  The Fiat 132:  |

Nobody knows the whereabouts of any 131, 132 or Argentas for sale then?  |

Don't like stretched tyres, very low profile tyres & I think a car CAN be too low. Perhaps I'm odd.

My dad had 2 132's back in the early 90's, one mettalic green and a light mettalic brown one, he had an accident on his way to eastbourne one night on black ice, and ended up upside on its roof, he always said the car saved his life!!

My mum had a lime green 131 panorama in the early/mid 90's probably rarer than a miafiori now...

Typical! I would buy one with no engine. It's getting the shell that is the problem! The Panorama is very rare, but I'm lucky that I own one. I really want to add a 132 to my collection though.

cant help the search, but I did own a 132 in mettalic bronze...a glorious car, beautifully snicketty rifle bolt gearchange, sweet 2 litre twink, went like the wind and either understeered horrendously, or oversteered horrendously depending on angle of attack.....i loved that car..sold it to a geezer in aberdeen who embedded it in a tree...so another one bites ze dust.....

There's a Mirafiori along the road from me that doesn't seem to be doing much. I can try and ask the question if you like, but so's you know, it's a good 100 miles from you.

I rang about the 130 link that someone kindly posted up. Too damn late, it had sold. I would have bought it too if I had had the chance! I'm still looking out for them though. Owelly, where abouts are you?
