Hi

Ive started a website for these great cars - the Strada Abarth and 131 Sport.

http://www.strada130.co.uk

Its still in its early stages but is growing at a steady rate and i hope people visiting Guys great site enjoy it, as there is no other site like it in the UK.

Most of these cars have rusted away and have been scrapped.

However the engines - their hearts - continue to beat thanks to the genius of Guy Croft.

Thanks for letting me post my site on here Guy

All the best.

ps. The car on the left belongs to club member Wayne Hickman and the car on the right is his mates.

Hullo Mitch

Well, you're certainly in the right place with those two! To me those 131 Sports are so evocative of another, simpler - maybe better time. Slower, more innovative, less regulated, a time when the world - pre computers - still seemed to be full of new surprises and opportunities. A time when, to see a works car, or an Audi Quattro on a Welsh forest stage on the Lombard RAC rally in the middle of the night was really something!. As evocative of a now-forgotten period as a Spitfire is of the war years when one flies over my house. Call me strange but I do really think we have lost something very precious in the rush for modernism.
