Best colours for the NC30!
I still want an RC30 in those colours (although I'd settle for an RC30 in any colour!)

[Liam79]

Nice Lancia! Any more pics?

I used to have an NC30,cracking little bike,always regretted selling it

Two stunners. Does the monte have the twin headlamps? Was offered a lovely S1 many years ago black on black with a set of azev 'a's. Decided against it and went all economical and bought a new punto.
What was I thinking.......

I'm sure that's the Alfa V6 engined Monte. Seen it at Auto Italia Brooklands and the mag. What a great car.

[monstermonte]

Hi, Yes it's the v6 supercharged monte! I've had it now for 23ish years so know it inside out! here are some more pics!

Fantastic. I didn't recall it being charged I must admit. Absolutely love that car. Great stuff.

[monstermonte]

Cool mate it shows you have taste!! I "charged" it about 6 years ago with ecu you can map etc. Love driving it when I can (not often enough) the noise is mad and it's F.A.S.T!!! Best bthing is I never see another, well only when I know mates are taking their cars and we meet up like this weekend!! ;0) best regards, Paul

Nice car! I was hoping for the 'real monty' though, the Escort Cosworth Monte Carlo!

thanks chap, a nice car in its own right but this is "the real monte" as it was out in 1976! only the lancia fulvia montecarlo proceeded it oh and that American thing to which lancia couldn't use the montecarlo name so they called it a scorpion. Best regards, Paul

No lag I bet. Always loved the Monte. Great looker and love the rear lights & F40 types rims on yours.

[Roaduser]

Wow, what absolute two beautiful machine you have, congrats! I love to have them two in my garage

[monstermonte]

Thanks to you all for your comments! Yep brakes are poor, on standard in the wet though, but I have wilwood's + green stuff pads no servo etc so on the last MoT it came out as 95% performance on the brake test and 50% on the handbrake to which he said f*** that's good so well chuffed! I do like Bristol auto show but had op on arm this year so too far to drive will try next year though! best regards
