As a new Fiat 131 owner I am interested in sharing information and ideas concerning my new Fiat 131. Does anyone know of a club or internet group relating to the 131. I am aware of the 131abarth.com site. I have also heard there is a club in the UK? Does anyone have any information that might help me locate one?
Thanks,
Tom McGaffigan

I will assume that you have tried the usual suspects in the US.

Most are for the spider of course but some guys also have 131 s
I have a 131 Abarth replica based on an Italian 131 Racing in eastern Canada.

The old UK based Fiat Twin Cam Register (the most applicable I can think of here) was reborn as the Sporting Fiats Club. The website for the club is http://www.sfconline.org.uk

SFC, yes, thanks Julian.
A well-run site with a nice group of members and SFC certainly is - or deserves to be - the clubhouse for TCs, the founder of the (as was) FTCR is a member, Tom Foster.
Without Tom's founding of that club in the mid 80's, the revival ( as we know it now) of interest in the F/L TC would never have taken place, they were being scrapped at an alarming rate without a passing glance - until Tom wrote to Classic & Sportscar' magazine and said, 'hey, guys, what's going on?';
Because of course the Fiat/Lancia Twin-Cam engine (in all its fanastic variants, too many to name) was even then - in the mid 80s' an engine with a competition 'pedigree' second to none, anywhere, and remains to this day in my view, the most competitive mass-production twin-cam engine ever produced, 8v or 16v.
There is an excellent archive on line at the club, by the way.

Thanks for the information guys, I was not aware of 2 of the sites.
I wish I could read German as there are a couple really interesting German 131 sites.
Thanks again,
