Description

KEY FACTS This Fiat 131 Racing is an engaging and lesser-seen modern classic Italian coupe, which is reported to be in highly original condition.

Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre ‘Lampredi’ twin-cam inline-four, delivering around 113bhp to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

This example was originally a French-market model, which was first registered in November 1979, and was imported into the UK in April 2021, when it was acquired by the seller.

The odometer indicates 38,195 km, which the seller believes to be accurate, though this is not warranted.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES The Fiat 131 Racing was released in 1978 as a two-door sporting version of the everyday family car, which featured a twin-cam engine, four round headlights, a redesigned front grille, a front chin spoiler, extended wheel arches, and a short-throw five-speed gearbox.

This example is finished in a timeless shade of silver, over a black velour cloth-trimmed interior.
