Another good clip from the 131 Rallying days here (131 v's Rs1800 plus a mixed bag of competition - 911, Chevette, Sunbeam, Datsun!)

Meraviglioso OP! 
Those Lampredi twin-cam engines are fantastic - they just love high revs!
My 2nd car was a Fiat 125 - the first production car with a cam-belt (but maybe that isn't such a great feature). Then a few years later I had a 132 1800ES - the first car I had with a 5-speed gearbox!
Some years later I had a MK2 RS2000 - great car, but it was made of pig-iron! The Fiats were so much more sophisticated mechanically with alloy casings and 4 wheel disc brakes - shame about the bodies though!
I'll definitely be watching this thread!

I am utterly, insanely envious. Ever since the early 80’s I’ve loved the 130’s and the 131’s. That sir, is a beauty
The only thing that would make it better would be for it to be in Alitalia colours.
More pics please. Lots more pics!
