Just spotted that's two different cars... I'm going to guess yours is the LHD drive car with the cream interior with half a memory you bought it in Italy "recently" - or have I muddled that up as well.

Some beautiful cars there. The Flavia(s) are gorgeous. As is the Club Italia Aurelia. David, don't apologise for the non-Lancia shots. The interior of the X-19 brought back distant memories. I had an early model like the one shown only in light metallic blue. It had a numbered sticker on the nearside front wing which meant it was part of the first batch imported. It was a great little car, going around roundabouts at surprising speeds. The only thing I found was driving with the roof off and the side windows down there was a very strong buffeting that forced your head forward and down so literally was a pain in the neck. I imagine this was the airflow hitting the rear screen just behind you. I sold it in about 1985. I still remember its reg - VTW 953S if it's out there somewhere.

David,

Firstly let me apologize for my slow response to your message, i have been a bit busy with work lately.

Yes, you are right, mine is the LHD one with the light tan interior, I bought it from a collection in Turin a couple of years ago.

Weather permitting, I will be at the AGM this Saturday, so please lets meet up and introduce ourselves to each other.

Regards,

Bob
