    What a beautiful car it's nearly a sin to rally it.

    I remember seeing Walter Rohrl & Christian Geistdorfer in one on the RAC rally, when they put Christian centrally in the back of the car for weight distribution/traction.

    Questa 131 sembra davvero molto performante
    E anche il pilota ha il piede pesante 👍

    Shame that not more of these have survived because they are every bit as good,if not better, than the wall-to-wall Escorts & they did win the WRC 3 times.The big problem,of course,as with most(all!) Italian cars of the time,was that they corroded heroically!
    This example sounds terrific.

    I know escorts of the day rusted but the a 131 at the same time used to rust really bad it must be difficult to get a good body shell nowadays but I can’t wait to see it in action hopefully you will put a entry in for the Galway summer stages will be over spectating for that

    Remember seeing Marku Alen driving one in the mid 1970s on a Scottish Rally, awesome noise. Walther Rohrl could also make one shift at a fair rate.

    A stunning car... I prefer the look of the car to a Ford Escort MK2... My viewpoint may prove unpopular 😢

    Is that the 2litre Lancia twin cam engine? Even the road version of these were quick in their day, 150 bhp if I remember.

    • @neviozivkovic4545
      @neviozivkovic4545 27 дней назад

      No. That’s the 2L Fiat engine that Lancia got after Fiat bought Lancia.

    • @MarkGardiner-g2y
      @MarkGardiner-g2y 27 дней назад

      @@neviozivkovic4545 So... the engine I seen put in 131 super and Strada Abraths in the late eighties (yes they were rebuilds) which said "Lancia twin cam" right across the rocker cover were not Lancia?

    • @neviozivkovic4545
      @neviozivkovic4545 26 дней назад +1

      ⁠I fitted a 2L 132 engine into my 124 sport, with the Abarth kit, and ran a bearing years later which threw a Conrod Thru the block, I struggled to find another block and a friend sold me a “Lancia” block , essentially identical. Those were “ Lampredi” engines born 1400, evolved to 2L , then modified by Karl Abarth to eventually end up in the Lancia Delta Integrale Evo2 supercharged turbocharged. My humble opinion. I still have my 124 Sport coupe.

    Era l'epoca quando in Italia si facevano ottime auto con del pessimo acciaio sovietico che arruginisca solo a guardarlo, ecco perché la Fiat Tipo e tutte le altre piattaforme da lei derivate (Alfa e Lancia) erano zincate per ovviare alla ruggine.
    Adesso ci restano solo i ricordi!!!
