Lancia back in UK

[PetrolTed]

The Motorexpo show at Docklands lists Lancia as being an exhibitor. Are they really coming back to the UK? Haven't seen any other mentions of it anywhere.

Presumably we'll just get a new Y10 or something

I read last year they were hoping to make a come back, but thought it was just a false rumour. Be happy to be corrected though!

Arent they working on a new 'grale? they were, then they werent, then they were, etc

i had a Y10!

great little cars

front brakes would lock first time i applied them, so i had to remember to "lock em up" before leaving the cul-d-sac

of course i'd forget every now and then giving other road users spectaclar views of a Y10 drifting!!!

oh happy days!!!!

btw, put me down for a new (or old) intergrale!!!!!

Not called a Y10 anymore - it is a 'Ypsilon'

Beware Ted - there are a couple of them already live around your way...

Reckon it would be the Thesis, Fulvia and Musa on display though.

After that remark... don't be surprised when they pass-you-by on the offer of a demo in their next generation fire-breathing Integrale!

Saw a car in cambridge the other day that from a distance (it was coming towards us I thought it was a city rover) turned out to be a lancia something or other little city car, Y10 replacement sort of thing. And close up it looked pretty good for a city car Y10 replacement.

Lancia made some excellent cars and they were biodegradable!

information sourced without permission from the LMC magazine.

The powers in charge of Fiat have announced that they will not make the beautiful Fulvia concept.

The decision would not have been helped by the demise of Maggiora, the coachbuilding company who made the last Delta HF Integrale, Kappa coupe and the Fiat Barchetta and who have made low volume vehicles for Fiat for many years.

20000 italians said they would put deposits on the new Fulvia but its not going to happen. the motoring press also want it.

other production models are being killed off.

no sense to these desicions as sales of all models are on or above targets

looks like it will be the end of the company this year.

The Fulvia concept was a cutie
