Lets see your Lancia's!
Discussion
My Evolution 2 I imported this myself from Milan, Italy.
Despite me having a temperature of 103 and a cold, Keith (Auto Integrale) and I belted back in this from Milan to Ostend in 10 hours and 15 minutes, with an hours stop for lunch somewhere in France. I owned this car for 3 years and used it as a daily driver, it never went wrong, never let me down and I sold it for £1000 less than what I bought it for. It sold within 25 minutes of the advert going up (on PH)
My HF4WD track car, the mighty "Mongrel" - RHD conversion by Mike Spence and powered by a Bob Brain Developments Grp N 8v engine/BBR mapped ECU - ultimate Q car and was fearsomely quick !
One of the first five HF4WD ever bought into the UK by Lancia - White HF4WD press car - I found this in a barn in Luton and was going to break it but it was so solid I restored it and sold it (wish I hadn't sold it now)

Some great cars there!
I went to uni with a italian chap called Paulo Mondadori. His family own one of the largest private printing companies in Europe and they are seriously rich and well connected. He was the 'keeper for our football team, and as one of the few with a car would pick us up for the matches. When we returned from summer in '86 his runaround was a Delta 4WD. It seriously peed off the stockbrookers seeing a buch of scruffy students driving around in the performance sensation of the time, and a car that even if they could afford it they probably couldn't get hold of!! Good times.

I love the look of the Flavia - kinda timeless classic that one. Despite having every type of Integrale except the Evo 1, the Hawks, numerous Betas, Thema & Prisma, I now find myself dreaming and scheming over things like a B24 Spider for me and a Fulvia 1.3 for the Mrs.
That Flavia makes me want to just drive for the sheer pleasure of driving! I wish you well with putting it back on the road where it deserves to be and many hours of happy motoring in it.
Better get the lottery tickets

Couple of pics from weekend just gone
All gone a bit red!
That looks a lovely clean 16V.... whats it's history, have you had it long?All gone a bit red!
Car is a very original example, we bought it through Walkers (Northallerton) in October last year. I'd always wanted an Integrale since being a nipper when my Dad used to take me to see the RAC Rally in Dalby Forest! So me and the GF went to Walkers last year to see what they had or what they could get us within our budget, we saw this car in the yard unprepped, it had no interior so we got a good look at the car with nothing inside it. No rust or damage, hasn't been resprayed and it belonged to a long term Walkers customer who has a collection of Deltas and he'd part ex'd this one against a limited edition Evo. Was within our price range, mileage was good at 75k (km's) so we bought it there and then! They refitted it with a good clean 16v interior prior to collection and we've loved it ever since!
They did sell us it with FSH, but have never supplied this as the guy they got it from had some dispute with them. Shame, but i'm in the process of trying to write to the previous owner and see what the history is and what i can get from him. It has a paddle clutch fitted (which can be a bit of a pain!) and it had been chipped when we collected it, but was not running well (bd fast but misfired on full chat!) so it was returned to Walkers who have put it back to a standard chip. Again, shame as the car was absurdly fierce when we first got it! but now it's back standard it's a lot nicer to drive (although i'm left 'wanting' after those first few 'chipped' miles!! )
It's only covered 900km's since last October , but i just love it and love seeing it sat in the garage every day, can't see me getting rid anytime soon!
