The original plan was I would look to sell the 'grale as soon as I could after I got her. It was taken in part-ex and the reason I was selling the Sagaris in the first place was to realise the cash in the car and so the Lancia still had significant money in her.

Ive made some very decent money over the last week however, so it looks like I wont have to sell and after driving her for a week I can only say...woohoo!

This car is a cracker Im amazed how flat she handles, how chuckable she instantly feels and how it has that special ability to say "OK you know I feel good at quickish speeds, but you and I both know I can do a lot better than this, so go on, try me" and you just know the car will take it! The turbo is a giggle and the engine just begs to be spanked...Matt how on earth did you manage to ever drive this car *not* wanting to feel the turbo kicking in?

Id be seriously tempted to go an upgrade route with this car with the newer turbos, etc, but dont really want to mess a ltd edition model up. The Verde Yorkes are reckoned to be quite sought after.

Cracking toy, many congrats.
And probably a canny investment. Now Baggers no longer owns it, the credibility will have taken a nice jump.
