Title: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: Dilambdaman on 03 March, 2010, 11:42:08 PM Google Imaged Dilambda recently and came up with this fascinating site. Of particular interest is the list of celebrities (with photographs) and a note of the Lancia they owned. Just wish I could read the text!

Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: JohnMillham on 04 March, 2010, 08:47:44 AM . . . and one of them looks like the Queen!
Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: DavidLaver on 04 March, 2010, 10:11:28 AM I've a Google toolbar that translates - otherwise Yahoo's Babel Fish will take a web page address and do it. Both keep translating as you browse a site.
http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ "Lancia, a steeped in tradition Italian automobile company, which manufactures unusual vehicles for customers with unusual desires for many years". Does it loose something or gain everything in translation? Googles attempt: Lancia, a traditional Italian automobile company, which for many years for clients produces exceptional vehicles with exceptional needs. Now THAT we all recognise...

Colin Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: fensaddler on 05 March, 2010, 01:23:15 PM I think that is the cover of his first, post-Genesis solo album, released in the mid 70s - the one with 'Solsbury Hill' on it. Funny, I'd always had it in my head, apropos of no evidence whatsoever, that it was an NSU Ro80...

Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: nyssa7 on 07 March, 2010, 11:14:21 AM Jay Kay of Jamiroquai recently bought an integrale to add to his collection
Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: andymc on 07 March, 2010, 01:01:21 PM Might have to Google some of these names but some integrale owners past and present.
I thought Eddie Irvine's was Lagos, perhaps he has had more than one.... http://66.196.80.202/babelfish/translate_url_content?.intl=us&lp=it_en&trurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.arcesezone.it%2fmodules%2fcontent%2findex.php%3fid%3d3 Andy Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: Neil on 07 March, 2010, 02:36:44 PM I think Eddie did have more than one, speak to one of Surrey contingent he has one of them...
Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: andymc on 07 March, 2010, 05:06:06 PM Yes, saw the ex Eddie Irvine Lagos Blue car at the Bristol show last year. Parked next to it.
Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: SteveGales on 07 March, 2010, 07:38:00 PM Rowan Atkinson used to/maybe still has an integrale , not sure on colour/spec. Used to be an LMC member, I remember he wrote an article for VL years back.
Keep meaning to pluck up courage to ask him at the Goodwood Revival. Steve Title: Re: Celebrities and their Lancias Post by: Sliding Pillar on 07 March, 2010, 07:47:34 PM Rowan Atkinson sold the Integrale years ago. He has also owned a Stratos and a Flaminia Super Sport Zagato, but there aren't any Lancias in his garage now.
