Lancia cars seen on the road

[Charles T]

Well this brightened up my commute to Henley this morning!
Red Aurelia B20 seen travelling North toward Nettlebed on the B481 at about 08:30.

I was filling up with fuel at my local petrol station (in Yate) when this little Y10 pulled in. First Lancia I've seen out & about in years!

Cheers, Rob

That's a beauty, like finding a hen's tooth in your rocking horse brown stuff!

Checked the registration number against lancia owners and their cars from 1994, up to the latest one in 2017 and this has never been shown as belonging to a LMC] member.
However the number has bells ringing in what grey cells I have left! And they jangle in the direction of a young lady who lived  i think around Newport South Wales, who belonged to the Bristol group, as I did in the 1990's,  but I could be wrong.

Photos sent to me by my son in the Oval area this week in London, not a club registered Fulvia, a 1972 Fulvia with early badges and S1 wheels?

[GerardJPC]

I live about a quarter of a mile from that car and have seen it a few times.  I love its rat look.

Seen in Pimlico last month.  I think a daily driver.

Beta Coupé 1600 near me this morning - must have had a good drive because it's from Toulouse 1.5 hrs away

Lovely to see a Beta Coupe in use in January.

I was very impressed (and so surprised I did not take in all the details) to be passed by an elegant little Fulvia in Central London (Bloomsbury Square, near the British Museum, heading west) at about 07:45 yesterday morning in freezing temperatures (my modern Alfa's thermometer did not rise above 0 degrees). The exhaust note of the Fulvia was a joy to hear. Was any LMC member making that trip?

I am about to take my Beta 1600 Coupe out of the barn.  I promise to jetwash it underneath afterwards.   Ziebarting from new was such a good idea - thanks Mrs Garland.

Just noticed this, it’s a GTie masquerading as a Turbo. I owned this one many years ago, and I’m in touch with the current owner who bought a Y10 Turbo from me last year to restore

[nyssa7]

Just had a chat with the owner of the Y10. He’s also transferred the engine, box and other important bits from the Turbo into the GTie. One interesting point is the engine which powered Peter and Hilary White’s Y10 in the 1993 RAC Rally. I ran this engine for a while, was very peaky for a Turbo engine in what became the Yntegrale.

The owner has kept the original B reg shell which was 1 number off that of the road test car back in the day, needs a lot of welding underneath despite looking quite ok elsewhere

Should be a nice car, aside from running nearer 140bhp than 85bhp, also gas uprated suspension and brakes. Proper little sleeper

Having seen a Fulvia back in January and nothing since (and 'lockdown' restrictions frustratingly keeping me separated from my Flavia) I was enormously cheered up today to see what I think is the same Fulvia on my journey to work this morning. It is gunmetal grey and LHD and a Series 3 Fulvia, reg.CDM 544M. It was travelling west to east into central London. I spotted it on Wigmore Street (also about 07:45), followed it for a bit on Oxford Street (temporary diversion), then lost sight of it at Tottenham Court Road where I was held at a red light. It looked to be in great condition (at least seen from the rear). Is it, or has it been, a LMC member's car?

Musa on Italian plates followed me up through my village of Ashurst Wood on school run I think. Probably gave the driver a shock as I was in my recently acquired Chrysler Delta now badged as a Lancia! More on that later.
