I had a very nice coincidence this morning. Guess what??? I found pictures of my Fiat 131 Racing when it was imported to Northern Cyprus for rally / race events. This is history of a car...

This vehicle first registered Germany - Holland ??? dont know but first registration number " 687 Z-7980 " as you can see pictures. In Northern Cyprus it has registered and got number plate " AT 007 ".

Hi again,

I should give some more information about this car;

This vehicle imported Cyprus from Germany or Holland (I dont know, may be some one can help me about this "see original number plate"). I remember when I was child that it was attending local and Turkiye rallies at that time.

It was most probably Hormann modified (rear roof and trunk spoiler) May be it was also "Walter Röhrl" limited edition.

As I got information from the co-pilot of this car was about 180-185 bhp when it was imported island.

Its stock suspension, brakes, handbrake, steering parts in briefly all driveline comletely cheked, repaired and all the parts which need replaced.

completelty rebuilded 2.0 TC Engine, transmission, rear axle already installed and now it is in working condition with stock intake & carb.
all electric wiring renewed and only need minor repair to complete

engine room, inside and trunk/boot already resprayed matt black same as Gr.4 Works cars


the only work which has not been completed yet :

I already have these parts:
1- Full outside body respray
2- fitting headlights, front grill, rear lights outer door handles,
3- fitting side glasses, windscreen, rear glass
4- door seals, interior door trims
5- window regulators / handles,
6- door lock mechanisms
7- Hoermann intake with twin 40 IDF carbs

I need to buy following parts:
1- Facet Silver top fuel pump
2- Wide wheels 7x15 for front and 9x15 for rear
3- Wide Tyres 205 / 55 / 15 for front & 225 / 50 / 15 for rear
4- Battery
5- windcreen wipers

Unfortunately I havent got any picture while engine & driveline fitted to this car

Those plates are old German export license plates (Zollkenzeichen). They were put on cars that were to be exported within a month.
