an absolute fine car in all it's glory! I owned 49 coupe's so far and more that 60 saloons so I know what I'm talking about. Also I restore these cars and did so many I really can't remember how many. Anyway, I would hang on to this one because you will regret selling! Just let me do your headlights to finish the spectacular looks of your coupe
Probably I would regret it, as it took me two years to find one which was exactly the spec that I wanted to have... and yes, the headlights are still on my list of things to do :)
Sir, You have a fine looking machine there, You have had the pleasure of owning such an Elegant car and maintained it well, Ready now for the next custodian.
I have the same car, most expensive repairs are brake calipers (very complex system that came from Renault Bendix of this time) and wheel bearings /cant be separated from the discs you need to change discs with bearings inside... best thing you can fix these electronics free quite "simple" analogue cars by yourself, the mechanical parts are not that cheap but they can be obtained through German or italian classic parts dealers quite easily.... (as long as no chrome or metal body parts have to be purchased for astronomic prices and rust is prevented, its not more expensive compared to other biggers cars of that era... any Jaguar or Citroen SM etc is much more expensive to repair, Mercedes W108 280SE and BMW 3,0 Si E3 isn´t cheap too if anything breaks down)
Compared to cars like the SM or CS, the 130 Coupé suffers from too cheap market value, so bigger repair or restorations are not economical unfortunately. For such are rare and special car, market values around 20000 € are not really logical. Even with the argument that it's just a Fiat.
My car had Italian papers with export stamp and was in Austria already. Important is that the papers are stamped for export and then it's best to use a trailer.
I have too many cars and too little time, so I decided to reduce my collection. I still think that the Fiat 130 Coupé is a great classic car to buy which is incredibly undervalued for its high class engineering and its low production numbers. The manual version is really super rare. I have never found the exact numbers, but probably only about 20% were manual. I would always choose the manual. It's much more fun and it is less of a repair risk compared to the automatic (not the other way). The automatics often have problems and are difficult to repair. The manual gearbox is not known for any special problems, and it's great to use as soon as it's warm. On the first kilometer when cold, second gear needs a gentle hand.
Ich persönlich wollte unbedingt einen Schalter, weil mir das Schalten auf kurvigen Landstrassen oder in den Bergen einfach viel Spass macht und das Getriebe zuverlässig ist und gut zum Motor passt. Der Schalter ist halt viel seltener (etwa 80% haben Automatik) und damit schwieriger zu finden. Ich hatte bei der Suche nach meinem Fiat auch mehrere Automatik probegefahren und ich war vom Schaltverhalten nicht überzeugt. Ob das jetzt daran lag, dass die Probe gefahrenen Autos schlecht im Zustand waren oder das generell so ist, kann ich nicht sagen. Ich kann nur empfehlen, einfach mal beides zu testen und dann zu entscheiden, was besser gefällt. An das Schaltschema des 5-Gang-Getriebes mit 1. Gang links hinten muss man sich ja auch erst mal gewöhnen...
To be honest I don't think the costs are too high, I can't imagine what it would cost to run it here in Ireland. To wake up each morning and see this beautiful car is worth it I would say
My favourite Fiat 130 Coupé configuraton: Blu Metallizzato 0481 with the Rosso 100 velluto interieur and a manual transmission! Most probably sold by now?
You legal fixed “on the road” costs are pretty expensive compared with the UK. There is no yearly tax cost at all on this age of vehicle, they are exempt from MOTs (TUV test, every year in UK) and the insurance in Germany looks much more expensive - an agreed value policy on a low use classic would probably be €150 or less. They are exempt from congestion charging in London. Not that this matters - that 130 is beautiful, I love it. Stunning car, amazing colour.
I think the UK is maybe the best country for classic car owners... But there are also a lot of countries which are much worse than Germany in terms of taxation and restrictions for classic cars... so I don't want to complain too much :)
@@CubeofCars taxes. Circulation taxes are lower or non existent depending on where you live. Fuel costs are lower. Now insurance, and repairs I couldn't tell you but taxes seem to be a large difference.
Gluten tag. We also have historic registration here in Australia, which makes owning a classic car much more affordable. Insurance companies offer discounted rates for older vehicles, too. Sometimes, parts availability is a problem, especially for European cars - I have have an X1/9 and a 128 3P - but this doesn’t add to ownership costs too much, unless there’s a major problem. There are two 130 coupes regularly being repaired at my local specialist Italian garage. I suspect that my bills are more manageable than the owners’ are. Auf weidersein.
Dear Mike, Owning 2 130 coupes and having had 2 124ac's I feel a real responsibility to let you know that Cooling systems and a few rubber busches are not considered Major repairs. The 130 is a most beautiful and sexy
Sorry, fat finger ! Masterpiece from the '70s and as such should be nurtured and loved ! In rural Australia it is pretty easy to do 100km/year, when you combine that with a modern VW/Audi /BMM el al The repair costs after 1 or 2 years are Unbefuckinglievable ! Enjoy the old girl and don't be too critical ! Cheers from Australia.
Classic car tax in Ireland is €56/year once car is over 30 years old and has to be paid annually. A car test is €55, every 2 years from 4 years old. From year 10 it's every year until 30. Then it's every 2 years, until 40. Once over 40 it is test exempt.
Hi Marcus, I still have my 130 and it's currently still in winter storage. Sales activities will start in May probably. Just contact me if you are interested: cubeofcars@hotmail.com

Your videos are very well produced and interesting. I'm not sure about the Fiat 130 being the "best" and most luxurious Fiat ever built. The 8Vs built in the early 1950s, although sporting/racing models, were very luxurious and achieved accelerations and top speeds in line, if not better than the 130, from a 2L engine. Depending on the coach builder these cars now sell from anywhere between $0.775 million to $2 million USD.
The 8V was a class of its own and - being a caochbuilt car - probably can't be compared with the 130 Coupé. But I would totally agree that the 8V would win the competition against the 130 Coupé in terms of luxury and exclusivity.
@@CubeofCars The Fiat 130 almost would have been the Fiat 140 with a V8 4,2 litre engine but was dropped due to the oil crisis and the hate for big engines at the Fiat development dept of this time you can today find the engine built under licence in Russia as Gaz 13 Tschaika engine (all alloy V8 OHV 5,4 litre).
@@CubeofCars Well with 200 or 230 HP from a 4.5 Litre V8 the 130 would have been as fast as the fastest BMW Coupe 3,0 CSi...Mostly the press bashed the 130 to be just too slow compared to a Mercedes 280SE (easily the all aloy V8 would have been converted to 5 and more litre as some years later in Russia) The US Export would have benefited strongly with a Big OHV V8 close to a Hemi Mopar in the 130.
I would love to buy your Fiat 130. Think your car is very nice, and you have already done the major repairs. But unfortunately, I have to wait sometimes, for a bigger wallet and a parking spot. The consumption is nearly between a MB 280SE and 420SEL I have own, and is normal for such a car. The other cost is also as waited.
@@CubeofCars Remember, I was a little lad, following my father who wanted to find a new car to buy. At the Fiat dealer, I mention the 130 sedan. but the dealer hadn't heard about those cars. We went home with a VW K70. The 130 Coupe came a little bit later, but one of the best designs there is, and one of mine dream cars. Yes, if one knows a car better and more of the history, and what's done to it, I would be better prepared to pay a better price for it.
Sehr interessant und ehrlich, vielen Dank.Ich fahre vier Ford Escorts, Baujahre 1986-92. Die kleinen XR3i sind unschlagbar günstig im Unterhalt - ein Bruchteil Deiner Kosten. Der Cosworth kostet hingegen mehr als CHF 2000 im Jahr an Reparaturen und Service.

Verglichen mit Neuwagen und deren sicherem Wertverlust ist man mit klassischen Autos eigentlich immer finanziell besser dran, naja zumindest meistens ;)
Full coverage insurance for 218 a year is outrageously low. I pay about one hundred more for just the legally mandated liability coverage. Mandated inspection is a emissions (smog) check at about half the MOT or TUV every two years.
@@CubeofCars Thats true as long you buy Ferrari spares, most parts can be purchased from the OEM supliers carb parts, Bosch Injection, Valves and valve springs (Similar Fiat by TRW) etc... Of course body parts are astronomic
There's an old saying about Fiat, "Fix It Again Tony". Why pour money into a Fiat? They were never known to be special, unique, attractive, reliable, fast or enjoyable to drive, fix/maintain? I get it. All those things make it nostalgic. I could possibly see a Lancia! But a Fiat honestly, has me scratching my head here? During the late '70's, I almost purchased one to drive back and forth to college. Simply, because they were inexpensive to buy! I quickly found out they are notoriously prone to breaking down too!
