"Retiring Sale"
One of the very rare limited edition Abarth factory produced Fiat 131 Series III, four door saloons, fitted with a Supercharger to the 2000cc version of the twin cam engine with Abarth modified suspension, gearbox, limited slip diff, exhaust and Pirelli Abarth wheels.
Ours is No 43 of the expected limited production of 200, although only around 185 examples are known of by the 131 register. They were only made to be sold on Italian market, only in LHD, in Metallic Silver with grey velour interior and fitted with power steering, front electric windows and extra gauges.
We personally flew down to Rome to purchase it from its elderly owner, from his collection, then had it prepared for the drive back to UK, having the cambelt, oil & filters changed etc.
Then drove it back to UK which it performed perfectly on the journey which was a stunning drive through the curving autostrada sections from Rome to Venice, then on through the autobahns in Austria & Germany.
It is in lovely condition with an unmarked interior, fitted with new Pirelli P1 tyres for smoother driving and is fully UK registered on an age related registration number.
She has recently has taken part in a photoshoot & editorial by Martin Buckley for AutoItalia magazine.
As age has caught up with us we are retiring more, so our collection is going to auction. Car can be viewed by appointment through Charterhouse Auctions at their salesroom in Sherborne Dorset.
