Lets see your Lancia's!
Discussion
The reaction from people who recognize the car is often priceless.
...anywhere from someone almost crashing their car to get a second look all the way to people thanking me for the opportunity to actually see one up close and personal.
The folks that don't know what it is will usually write it off as some Golf / GTi people mover. Honestly as much as I like the positive encounters I have had with the car I'm ok with the lack of attention it gets from people that just don't get-it

I used to get the same sort of reactions to my 8v integrale down here in NZ, only a couple of dozen here. Not many of them come out regularly. I drove mine every day for three years....anywhere from someone almost crashing their car to get a second look all the way to people thanking me for the opportunity to actually see one up close and personal.

A few subtle mods on a 16v there?
A couple of pictures of my next car, it's not a Lancia, but it does look like one.
It's a ListerBell STR, the latest of the Stratos replicas to hit the market. I've wanted a Stratos since I was four. It'll be here in about three weeks, then the task of putting it together and getting it on the road. I decided I really wanted a Stradale rather than the group 4 with the super wide rear arches, from what I've seen most replicas seem to be group 4's, I really like the round arch, but for regular driving I think I'd e happier with the Stradale (street version).

Great project, which engine are you going for, the usual?

That looks quite nicely thought out.A couple of pictures of my next car, it's not a Lancia, but it does look like one.

With the right room to keep the body/chassis and other unused bits so you have the option to put it back together a STR-M is an immensely appealing thing.
I've gone for the usual, but only in 2.5. Alfa 156's still aren't that cheap down here so I managed to get one that had light frontal damage for not too many dollars. I'll run that until I can find a 3 or 3.2l for reasonable money. The hardest part is getting it past the certifiers, there are a few hurdles to jump through yet. All the bespoke parts will need approval from the technical commitee. That means submitting drawings and materials specs etc. I think that'll take longer than the build, there will need to be five inspections during the build too. Craig at ListerBell was very understanding and fabricated the wish bones from thicker walled material as required by the New Zealand specs.
The ListerBell is a kit car, much easier and quicker to put together than the Hawk with a lot less fabrication required by the builder. They say the Hawk is more authentic and more a replica than a kit (Hawk owners say that). I want to be able to drive this within a year, not take ten years building it like some Hawk owners I've seen.
