Lancia Motor Club

I have just submitted a 'Car Clubs' application for the Silverstone Classic this year.

As last year (but organised a little earlier!) this will allow LMC members to buy discounted 'early bird' tickets on a 2 for 1 basis, together with an infield car pass.

I will publish the reference code as soon as I have confirmation from the event organisers. The closing date for entries will be the 31st May, so book early!

I will plan to attend again this year with the Flaminia PF, together with a good friend who has just bought a lovely cream Flaminia 2.8 PF!

Would be great to see a broad spectrum of Lancia's on display at this great National event!

Thank you Charles, what are the dates please?

Oops!

25th,26th and 27th July I believe.

It was I my first time last year and rate it as the best event of the year, spent most of the day in the pits watching (right up close) teams strip and tune theirs cars. Even the 2hrs trip back to drop by brother off and back to Kingston in torrential rain with the Flaminai windscreen leaking and one speed wipers didn’t put the dampers on the day.

So hopefully there will be 3 Flaminia in attendance. 

Thank you Charles.

3 Flaminia's!...even better.

Dave, will yours be ready?

Hi Charles,

I'm on track to make Silverstone in my GT this year. I'm pushing hard to get it finished after 6 years. My engine will be back together and running for the first time in 30 years next month.

It was great to see your and Julian's flaminias last year - and I can't bear the thought of turning up in my Volvo again!!!

So that should be 4 Flaminias in! Are you going all weekend on on a specific day?

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave

That's fantastic news if you can do it in time. Four Flaminia's!

I am planning on the whole weekend at the moment, probably travel up from Cardiff on the Friday.

Keep up the good work

Charles

Charles

Thanks on behalf of the Committee for organizing this again. I posted the contact details for the Bertone parade lap on the separate thread which hopefully you have seen (if any Bertone cars are attending - I'm sure a replica Stratos would be acceptable).

Remember to book by 31st May!

Hi Dave

What day are you thinking of going? I thinking of Saturday as there is more racing plus stuff in the early evening, that's if it doesn’t pour down like last year. I looking forward to seeing your car in the flesh and it would be a shame if i missed one of the best GTs around.

Cheers

Julian   

Hi Julian,

I've splashed on a sat/sun ticket (members discount made it slightly less painful)- just in case I have issues making it on Saturday!

If all is running OK - Will go for Sat on my own - but tempted to bring my son on Sunday as well...if the wife lets me!!!!

Cheers
Dave

The Stratos Enthusiasts Club will have a stand there as usual Neil, perhaps the two clubs ought to co-ordinate for the event for a parade lap together? We were scheduled for one last year but we got rained off…..

Cheers

Guy

Guy

That's a good idea, As you will have gathered Charles is co-ordinating for LMC. The phone number for the lady from the X1/9 Club is on the linked thread. I'm sure she will be pleased to hear from you.

Neil

I have just bought car club tickets for Friday/Saturday. Expect to be there with the integrale.

Great news...the more the merrier!

Spoken to the powers that be and the club already has a track slot organised as it's the 40th Anniversary of the first WRC championship with the Stratos for Lancia. See you all out there!

Guy

Deadline for car club offer is 31st of March NOT May as I previously posted.
That's THIS MONTH!!!! ???
Sorry for any inconvenience caused! Get those tickets now!

I have been telephoned by a club member who wishes to bring his Flaminia and cannot find the code on the thread. I have had a look and cannot find it either, and the link takes you Silverstone, where the first box you have to fill in is the code! Can anyone advise re the code number as time is very short to get the Early Bird discount.

Many thanks

Dave Gee

Link for offer code is on page one of this thread about 11th post down. The top link takes you to members only pages. Enter thread for Silverstone Classic, and code is there.

I have just checked with organisers, and just to clarify.....

The deadline for 'Early Bird' Car club deal is the 31st March. This is the cheapest way to enter the event.

The deadline for the Car club deal is the 31st May. This will be slightly more expensive.

Both include the 2 for 1 deal, and infield pass for your Lancia. If anybody wishes to take more than one car, get in touch and I may be able to get something organised.  ;)

Just purchase a Sat and Sun pass, should be there both days in the Flaminia, looking forward to seeing, I think now, 5 Flaminias all in a row, lets try to make it more :). 

Look forward to seeing you there with your Flaminia.

Just booked weekend tickets myself.  ;D

Yes, any more Flaminias out there......or any more Lancias?

Hello
I may have missed the cut off date for the club display, but I have owned a Beta Spyder for just over a month and would have liked to take it to Silverstone for display. Is this possible or should I just go as a "punter"

Regards Alan

"The deadline for the Car club deal is the 31st May. This will be slightly more expensive."

We (those wot haven't decided yet) have a month ....

Just a reminder that the deadline for Car Club entry is the 31st of May.

So far we have:

3 Flaminia GTs and 2 Flaminia PFs   
2 Fulvias and 1 Fulvia sport   
2 Integrales      
1 Flavia      
1 Beta Spyder
 
Thanks for your support.
      

A few pictures from yesterday, great weather, great cars and great racing, watched the group C endurance cars at the end of the National Straight at sunset, all with glowing break disks, can’t recommend this event enough. 

Once again Charles thanks for sorting it out.

It’s a pity my clutch failed in Kingston town centre at kicking out time, 5mins from home, so couldn’t do it all again today. Next job, out with gearbox for a complete clutch and break overhaul.     

Pleased to hear it went well.  What a turn out!!

PF looks good in cream and tan.

What happened to that Touring's hub cap?

Dodged the storms?

David

The Touring without the hubcap is mine - it passed its MOT Friday afternoon - It was resisting being fitted on Saturday morning so I left it off

Many thanks to Charles for organising - a great weekend. I don't understand why more members don't go!

Getting 4 Flaminia's there was quite an achievement - lets beat it next year. Does anyone have a Berlina, Convertible or Zagato?!!

A very big thank you to all those who attended, and thank you to those who brought their Lancias - a small, but significant collection of Lancia's!

Well done Dave for completing the restoration of your Flaminia in time (literally just in time!).

Its a shame you couldn't make Sunday Julian, but good luck with the gearbox removal - if I can do it then anyone can!

There was quite a lot of interest in the Flaminias (Flamini?) in general. Some recent purchases (since the last Silverstone event), and a few purchases pending. Look forward to hearing about them on the forum, and possibly seeing them next year.

A really sad event from Sundays racing:

Yes very sad - Denis gave so much pleasure over so many years to those who watched him race with such gusto!

On a different note I would like to thank Charles on behalf of the Club for organising our presence once again at this event.
