Thanks Greg.
Only a painted shell but it certainly gives an idea of the final shape, unless it's still one of the pre-production vehicle. certainly worth looking at the cars for sale as well, have a look at the Appia special

The special would be just the thing to go to the sliding pillar in!  But surely the price is rather high @ E21k they must be joking.

Hi Don,
Must admit I did think he was having a bit of a laugh Don Cross reckons he was offered it years ago for a few hundred pounds, but as it was an unknown type the owner couldn't get it registered in Holland.

just getting back to the topic, how mad would you have to be to leak a video like that?? thats one employee who is pretty confident of their job security!

ROLL ON GENEVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fensaddler]

Definitely roll on Geneva. Doesn't look as big as has been hinted (which is fine by me) - it looks a classic Focus/Astra sized motor rather than something half a class up in size.

[toby2449]

yeah,have to agree doesn't look as tall as i had feared, can't wait to see it in the flesh in geneva!

Chech out this weeks copy of Auto Express as this includes an article on the New Lancia Delta. Or on the web at http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/216978/lancia_delta.html

i still love the exterior, but a little sad that the interior is just a carbon copy of the Bravo's just with a different steering wheel.

There is an interview with Olivier Francois about Lancia and the UK at www.lanciasport.com/LS_press_latest.htm

[fensaddler]

Mr non-Commital isn't he?  Maybe in the UK by the end of the year - come on matey, you must know by now.  And if you're not here this year, I can't have one, because my company car changes in Jan 09.

[peterbaker]

Current issue of Autocar, pages (yes, plural) twelve and thirteen. 'Delta starts Lancia comeback'.

[fensaddler]

The Autocar editorial is interesting - wishes Lancia well but worries about how well the company will fare in the UK.  The article on the Delta suggests it won't be in the UK until 2009, which is part of what is worrying me about timing.  But then the article is full of errors - no recognition, for example, that Lancia has built a prototype of the Fulvia on the new Punto platform, and not just on the Barchetta platform in 2003 (that is right isn't it - we had pictures linked onto here a few months ago?).
