Road and Track late fifties review of the Appia (they liked it) -
"The ash trays are of the kind that give you a good reason to give up smoking".

I like this look, from the Appia - Riley One Five comparison (with Don Cross's corrections of errors in the comments). Is the Appia a member's car?
I do too! Here it is again |
Augusta berlina, Appia S3 berlina
Flaminia convertible 2.8 3c Touring
Beta spider S1 1600, Gamma berlina S1
Gamma coupe S1, Delta 1.6 multijet

I must get a proper front numberplate. I ordered a small Italian one by mistake, although to be fair my car is LHD.

Stuck door unstuck by mech. It needs a plate welding on, plus some paint. Other excitements: interior light now working!  |

Yes a superb old building- we had a barn at our previous house - the rule "the stuff expands to fill the space" applies!  Mike |

That's probably not all he's up to. When I remover the back seat from my Flaminia parts car a massive cascade of hazel nuts poured out. Some had been nibbled at one end from which a local wildlife expert was able to identify the culprit as a bank vole.

Get some cats if you don't already have them. The cost of rat poison makes cat food seem relatively cheap! The rodents seem particularly partial to phenolic resins - e.g. the knobs on your seat adjusters (afaik, I'm not an Appia owner).

There is a lazy Norwegian hippy cat, and next door has a fierce and smelly cat.
