Hi guys

Sorry for the delay.

The usual car club deal....2 for 1, and car pass, is available again for 2016. A link will be set up shortly along with member's only code.

The cheaper early bird deal is available until the 31st of March ( 3 day weekend £99) Advanced tickets are available from 1st April to 31st of May (3 day w/e £114). Single day and 2 day options are available also.

Please let me know who is going and with what car on this link. It helps to generate some interest, and maybe a few new entries! The more Lancias the better😄

Charles

Here's the link for the tickets : http://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=8687.0

The link points to the members' area of the website so you must be logged into the forum to use it. Any current member of the LMC is free to join the forum, just drop an email to Admin with your member number and we'll set you up.

I see that the Classic website lists LMC as a participating club again. As I am intending taking the integrale I wondered if we had a booking code so  the tickets will include the pass to reach the allocated Lancia site within the circuit.   

Sorry about that, I found the code. Look forward to meeting

Beat me to it :) ... the link is above your post - but only accessible to members.

I see they've announced The Stranglers as the music for Saturday ...

Just a reminder that the early bird ticket offer runs out at the end of March......that reminds me I better get mine!

Just got my tickets, I will be there in the Flaminia

Good to hear Julian

I should be there for the whole weekend with both mine and mate Steve's Flaminia PFs. See you there!

Just a reminder that advance ticket sales end at the end of May.

Charles

Thanks for the reminder - just got mine - will be there Saturday

Cheers
Dave

Hello Charles,

Don't want to tread on your toes but some members might not realise that (as I understand it from previous years) 'advance tickets' means the only way of getting a ticket to bring your Lancia into the club display area.

31 May ..... 4 DAYS TIME ... this ticket option closes !

Martin.

Indeed Martin, thanks!
See you all there
Charles

Good News!

The Lancia Motor Club and the Montecarlo consortium will be cohabiting at the Silverstone Classic 🚗🚙🏎🏎

Hello Charles. Would like to be at Silverstone Classic with Flaminia Convertibile on club stand (which I assume is inside Circuit) on the Saturday.
Obviously too late for 'early bird' but is there still space?
Tried to book with code but invalid (probably as out of date).
Many thanks
Glyn

Anyone got a spare set of tickets for saturday/Sunday??

Tim

Hi all

Hope you are all still planning on bringing your lovely cars this weekend.

My plans are to bring the PF up on Friday morning, straight from the place where it has undergone a eight month bare metal repaint, subject to an MOT tomorrow. If all goes to plan, will be there all three days, so look forward to meeting up.

We hopefully will have 5 Flaminias together at some point, probably on Saturday. Also, as mention before, we will be next to the Montecarlo Consortium, so come and have a look.

Charles

I won't know which side of the bed to lay ......

See you all there Friday and Saturday.

Martin.

Charles, the repainted PF sounds good! Will you be posting a photo?

Anybody thinking of going at the last minute. Ticket sales end at 17.00hrs on Thursday.

This was how it looked just before the first coat.

I haven't seen the finished job yet!
Charles

I have a pair of tickets for Friday if anyone would like.....first come first served.

Contact me via 'my messages'

Charles

Charles, I saw your car today and I can assure you it looks fabulous.

Fabulous in the photo too, perhaps a new thread required.

Thanks for the 'heads up'.

Charles

Changing the colour or back to blue?

Can't wait to see it!

Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave
Back to original blue scuro
Will be good to catch up, see you there.
Charles

Thanks to Charles for organising.

Went yesterday in "Shades", our wanabe Lancia Strato's, and Sarah had her first drive which she pronounced as brilliant and not scary at all!! We went round the track in a high speed stop go "parade" which was great fun.

A few pics of some of the Lancias we saw.

Great, thanks for the photos, how many Strati(?).... ;D....where on site?

Looks to have been a very nice selection of Lancias too!


P

Frank - 8 Strati reps of different beginnings. An Allora, 2 (at least) Transformer "Hawks", later Hawks, but not sure if there was a Lister Bell.... (7 made it for the Parade as one missed the slot....).

Hi Tim,
Great pictures - I'll use a couple for the website news page , if someone could write a couple of sentences in this Topic that would be great too :)

Its becoming the unofficial Flaminia meet - with 5 there on Saturday this time.

Also 2 Flavias, 2 Fulvias, 2 Beta Montecarlos and a Delta

3 Tourings pictured below:

One for Tim. Image Retro-Speed Magazine.

brilliant! How did you get from that corner to the end of the track in half a lap where we saw you again? Time machine?

Down the gym twice a week, plus local knowledge. Some more.

Definitely last ones. Copyright exists Retro-Speed Magazine (www.retro-speed.co.uk)

Nice photos - apart from the wonky ones, of course!!!
Regards, John

Thanks to everyone who turned up, great weekend!

..and I am pleased to report that Glyn managed to get home in his Flaminia convertible with doggy dyno!

Charles,
Great moody colour shot.

I thought the tunnel at Monaco was wider than this, does look like a chicane at the exit though.
No wonder Ascari ended up in the drink.

Nice to see so many Flaminias all in one place, in good condition and running. As a matter of interest, does anyone know what engines were in the Stratos replicas?
Chris

Hi Chris, all but one of the Stratos Replicas had Alfa Romeo V6's in either 12 or 24 valve form with the exception of one with a Lancia Beta 2 litre twin cam engine. It's odd that all the cars were Group 4 replicas in either round or square arch form. There was one Allora and the rest, over the weekend 8 or 9 I think, Hawk/Transformers.

Unfortunately I didn't get time to fit the new mirror to the car - the required bracket isn't fabricated yet!

Guy

Not sure about my car as it is a hybrid of Gr4 body but Stradale interior..... Those seats are really comfortable....

I'm not familiar with "square arch" and "round arch".  Could you point to one of each?

David

My (Shades) car is a round arch. Its how it flows laterally into the body. See other cars that have a "square" junction. Hope that helps.

Is it just the rear arches that differ?

yes

No. (sorry Tim!) the interiors differ too. Some Stradales that have been converted to Group 4 spec retain their Stradale interior but there is a specific Group 4 dash. However some Group 4 cars are converted but retain the gauges from the Stradale dashboard, all being electrical gauges (except the speedometer). The Group 4 gauges are all mechanical except for the ammeter and fuel gauge.

Guy

Here's a picture of my (replica) Group 4 interior.

Guy

And here's a Stradale interior

And an original group 4 interior

Small point, but the 'works' cars would have had a Halda Twinmaster, ie with two readouts.

I'd love to see a picture Peter, I can't recall ever seeing a Twinmaster in a Stratos, the space on the dashboard above the fusebox/below the top cover isn't tall enough for one?

Guy
