Lancia Delta London to Brighton

[mallygreen]

Great run on Saturday on the London to Brighton(ish) Run

Thanks SO much for the video!

It took me back 25 years to when I had a white / sage green EVO 1 and a grey 16V

The view out of the windscreen seeing the bonnet hump, remembering how you select full bean, remembering the driver “footrest” being on the wheelarch, the tiny steering input from the centre to make it change direction, the funny boothandle, the funny digital “clock” above the mirror

I remember at the time I thought the pearl was weird, now it looks exotic (funny because my plate was J100EVO)

Crikey...you must have clocked up a few miles to do this event!

[Mr Tidy]

I enjoyed that video, and you had a great turn-out.

Shame there didn't seem to be a yellow one though!

Aye about 1300 miles all together, well worth it. No use keeping it in a garage all its life.

Was it only Delta Integrale’s that were permitted, or would 81 Delta 1500’s also be allowed in.

Great film, thanks very much!

The Intergrales are the stars, but that white Fulvia is also very lovely.

[Regbuser]

Love this, made me nostalgic, had an 8v grale in the 90's. Sold it for £5k, hey ho...

Any Lancia permitted. They`re talking about a Wales run next year, just join up on the "Club Lancia sport" page on Facebook.

Unfortunately I’ve never owned a Lancia as much as I’ve always liked them, especially the Beta.

I missed it .. next time.

Looks great fun and didn't realise there were still so many of them around as I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road. I remember looking at these 20 odd years ago and struggling to find a good one (at a reasonable price!) and ending up buying a Scooby Turbo instead.

I don’t think there is a single other car that I like in red, let alone love!

The red with the beige alcantara and the unusually blue tint in the windows (was that “solextra”?)

Maybe I feel the same about the yellow too, that it’s the only yellow car I like.

White wasn’t a popular colour when I had a white EVO but I LOVED that too, the whitest white I had ever seen!

God, I’d love a navy / beige one………

That's dedication.

It struck a chord or two for me as I had a couple of Fiats in the early 80s with the wonderful Lampredi twin cam engines, but they had no turbos or 4WD.

But I was also booked in at the Ace the next Saturday for a BMW Z4 meet with my M Coupe.

Just over 30 miles away but thanks to the M25 it took over an hour to get there.

Hah.....one of my best friends was there with his son, they went in his son's Z4 coupe (they only live a few miles away in Ealing though)

[Mr Tidy]

I don't think I met them sadly.

In case they don't know and might be interested it is German Night at the Ace on Monday, 4 October from 6pm onwards.
