Can anyone recommend an English language Integrale forum?

I haven't owned an Integrale for years (my last was G700 NKL, anyone know where it is?) but thinking about looking for an Evo - Lord Blue preferably.

Thanks Jonathan I shall take a look. Is there a register too?

I used to take my old Integrale to Richard Thorne near Reading but I've no idea if they're still around!

Agree delphiforums is the definitive on-line resource.

You could try AutoIntegrale in the Reading area if Richard Thorne is no longer doing integrales. I get parts from Keith at AI.

If I still had my Lagos Blu, I would get mine looked after by Keith at Auto Integrale only.

That name rings a bell and I see he's based in Reading where Richard Thorne was. Did he work there?

To be honest, I have no idea if he worked at Richard Thorne once upon a time, never heard that myself.

I used to have my car looked after by Evolution Engineering in SE London which no longer exists. Auto Integrale had a very good reputation back then and continues to do so now.

I have actually thought about importing a Final Edition over from Japan but it will end up being too much hassle I suspect. The only other thing which is bothering me about buying an Evo again is availability of spare parts / panels. Not sure if that really is an issue or not, it did appear to be something owners were becoming worried about.

Availability of parts is a sodding pain. Especially if, like me, you live 3000 miles away.

I'm having to source pattern parts, Fiat Coupe 16V turbo bits and pieces, even possibly having bumpers or the like fabricated. It's not an easy car to own, especially if you want it to stay showroom fresh.

The most helpful guy in the country is John Whalley, an absolute gem of a bloke. Keith is equally knowledgeable but not quite as responsive by email - you need to call him.
