Rossi's first English pint (litre)...

Newly imported ?

Now I'm viewing on a laptop instead of phone, I recognise the location.

Hinchley Wood, A307 just outside of Esher, Ditton, Claygate....

[beach bum]

On christmas day I took the ID out for an evening drive. I was lucky to catch an amazing sunset on my coastal route.

Looks great, have always thought the 512TR is the nicest of the series.

Just imported? Where from?

Thanks. One well known (in Italian car circles) Turin owner for first 22 years then me. Number 20 tab was on keys - so at least 20 cars in his private collection

From a Belgium Porsche dealer 18 months ago. Took 6 months driving around Europe to locate a decent one as lots of others out there with no known history or worse (especially Japan, Middle East and, would you believe - Italy).

Gear change perfect, even from cold (known idiosyncrasy) and drives so much better than the Mk I (Testarossa), as I call them - this then being a Mk II (512TR), followed with the end of run Mk III (512M).

I'm glad you did that last bit as I can't tell a TR from an M ,unless they were parked next to one another..



I used to deliver to the place next to Autoficcina ,when they were on Chessington ind estate.

Oh, 512TR to 512M is the easier one to spot. Giveaway on 512M is: Front - pop-up lights changed to Perspex headlamp covers, NACA air duct on bonnet and fog lights in bumper, REAR - 4 x round rear lights (they were moving design on towards the then coming 360, etc. line) and again, another road wheel change.

Testarossa to 512TR is harder to spot. Different road wheels, no bulbous engine cover (as 512TR engine lowered for better CoG) and different front bumper

Fantastic; I'm sure worth the wait!

The ID on a recent outing.

[Thurbs]

The current build state, no rust to be seen anywhere...!





It has had a bump in the ns rear quarter and a few bodged rust repairs but otherwise it is a really good shell.

Cage and strengthening kit going in now.

Lancia Delta ^^^^^?

ETA....Note to self...check profile first.

Answer.....Delta Integrale....

Answer.....Delta Integrale....

Being new to Lancia ownership, I am genuinely confused by your response...! Am I missing somthing? Are these only refered to as Delta's?

Anyway... the big question... white or red?

I am thinking red... and being a '89 model car it would be fitting.

[RichardM5]

Either White or Red would be equally fitting, what was it's original colour?

No I just left Lancia off as everyone SHOULD know that bit....

I'd go red too,more unusual.


I bought this pic in an Italian junk shop few years ago.

[TCEvo]

Re the 'Grale If it's to be a rally rep then white; if a road car I prefer them in red (I had a green one as I couldn't afford the red ).
