Title: Radio 2 Chris Evans Post by: Charles T on 07 November, 2016, 06:57:08 PM Did anyone catch Chris Evans on Radio 2 this morning?
Between around 7:15 and 7:30 he does a regular slot where children call in and say what they are doing for the first time today. This morning a girl by the name of Aurelia called in. This led to a some commentary on the beauty of the Lancia Aurelia . As a somewhat bias B20 owner I could not help but agree! It is good to hear positive comments about Lancias, especially as the Aurelia may not be so widely known as other obvious classics from the era.

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife." P Title: Re: Radio 2 Chris Evans Post by: Parisien on 07 November, 2016, 08:27:15 PM https://youtu.be/lKn-Agk-yAI (https://youtu.be/lKn-Agk-yAI)

I wasn't into Lancias when my daughter was born but if she had she might well have been named after a Lancia !!"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife." P Just watching it again for the Umpteenth Time, Great Film ;D Brian 8227 8) Title: Re: Radio 2 Chris Evans Post by: Charles T on 09 November, 2016, 07:27:21 PM Great clip.

I can think of at least one person I have met who have named kids after famous Lancias. As I explained to my son Y10 Fila...:-) Paul Title: Re: Radio 2 Chris Evans Post by: simonandjuliet on 15 November, 2016, 12:30:50 PM I got away with "Aurelia" as Mathilda's middle name ..... Juliet thought it would cause less embarrassment than Zagata
