RE: £5.7m iconic Lancia collection on sale
Discussion
I've had the pleasure of visiting the Campion collection in Jacksonville, FL a few times. John Campion has the ultimate man cave which houses his collection, not only the Lancia's but Porsches, a couple of Lotus's and a few others to boot.
He uses it as a kind of club house as its tucked away in a business park, I think he shares it with a couple of wealthy friends. There's a bar space on the mezzanine that overlooks the workshop, which is meticulously clean.
I gather he's having health problems, but recall he always spoke passionately about his Lancia's, something which I enjoyed having watched them rally and always hankering for a Delta Integrale.

Lucky you, I was wondering why he was selling as he shows great passion for the Lancias, he even sought out a Martini liveried truck from back in the day.
On Leno he looked unwell but had bee recovering, makes me wonder if hes fallen ill again.
Very humble man with a great collection, everyone is on my wish list.

Campion has/had a Fulvia and a Stratos but neither of those ran in period with Martini livery. He's got a Fiat service van in Martini livery which I'm surprised isn't included.
Someone in Italy has pretty much the same collection except he has a 38' offshore powerboat in Martini livery too.
Bloke is recoving from leukemia, not sure if to read anything into that. Also has some Group C cars and a couple of F1 cars including a Jordan.
Its not uncommon to use Roman numerals when referring to rally/race grouping of Italian cars, after all they invented the system.

I've got the padded jacket and the polo shirt from this collection, it's as close as I'm ever going to get!

Just too beautiful.
I'm sure all Lancia fans will have seen this Chris Harris vid, but I'll post again for old times sake.
Just for the look on his face being driven in the 037.
