1975 (1973) Lancia 2000 HF Coupe

I omitted to mention that this car has a huuuuuuuge boot. The full sized spare wheel sits on the right hand side of the boot and is easy to get to. The rest of the boot can hold sufficient luggage for those who like to blat across Europe, equipped for everything from louche lolling on a yacht to dinner with a dowager duchess. Also you can actually sit in the back seats without having to eat your knees.

The problem with the huge boot is that if you fill it the springs put up a white flag!

Drat. There goes my plan to do a bunch of murders.

I’d never come across this car before, although know a little bit of the history behind Lancia.

Love the styling on your 2000 coupe though, looks like it’s probably a good bit of fun out on the road too!

A lovely looking car - so elegant and refined in style.

I'm guessing somewhat unlike its owner!

You need to think serial rather than parallel...

Ooooooft! Truth hurts!

Yippee!

OK, it is after 9PM, but if you are of a sensitive disposition, look away now.

Here is the horror of the rusty arch, before and after a temporary repair with filler.

Steering fixing in progress.

The finished steering idler arm, re assembled with new bushes and grease.

Old Lancia World is splendidly old school. Parts for my Appia are sent with invoices - none of that payment up front vulgarity. I can borrow a hub tool from the Flavia Consortium, but I am asked to send a cheque, that gets torn up once I have returned the tool. The problem is that I cannot recall when I last saw a cheque and nobody I know still has a cheque book!

Postal order?

That "temporary repair" to the wing is pretty impressive.

Fab car BV!
FYI I still have a chequebook. I write a cheque, once a month, for my kids (boys, 10 and 9). They have lockable petty cash boxes, one each. They are obsessed with them!
Thus far they both have over £2,000,000 each in cheques.

This sensible review of the earlier version with a carb engine gives you an idea of what well put together machines these late Flavia/2000s are.
