We also need to know what the tunes are - CDs, IPOD, wireless? For me its Absolute Radio, and DAB is the best thing since the heated rear window.
...and of course what's SO good about the heated rear window is that it keeps the hands warm when pushing...

the keen eyed person will notice between this thread and the collection journey topic will notice my trailer suddenly changed, this was because we couldn't get it off alans trailer !!!! so i pinched his trailer and he's got mine at the moment  luckily the truck just went under my ramp on the trailer, we lowered the ramp down an used a couple of straps to suspend it, lifted the ramp up and drove the trailer out!! , then lowered the ramp down so that the pickup is now on a trolley, word of encouragement from don cross and my dad, they both said its not as bad as they expected, i admit it is bad but the bulkheads and chassis legs are really good, floors and sills etc are easy to repair so i'm not worried |

 i'm glad your both impressed, i've actually started on it today !! removed the front wings and started to remove the rears, i've tried an s3 door in place and it fits almost perfectly which is a huge bonus, as the rear ends of both front wings have been butchered by a crazed man with a chisel they can be "possibly" modified to suite the s3 doors, the scrap s3 has door pillars so alls looking good, next job is to make a jig to pick up on the suspension mounts so that the body doesn't twist when welding and shot blasting, will keep you all posted

You can tell people that the camioncinos were made after the change over to SIIIs with an SI type front end but once the door pressings were used up they grafted in SIII doors and naturally enough SIII door pillars and frames. I also "expect" that the reason the restoration of you particular example stalled was that the previous so-called expert failed to realise this and instead spent fruitless hours trying to "adjust" the car to SI doors. Good job you stepped in. I expect the previous so-called expert didn't realise that yours was one of the very rare ones fitted with the Aprilia engine and box... In that spec they ALWAYS had green carpets.

Absolutely David; refreshing to see that someone takes the history seriously. A piece of additional information, the first 500 had Variente 1016 engines and plexiglass windows, having been homologated for the 1957 Naples - Turin - Naples "Corsa dei compensatori di rotella" memorably won by Giacomo Parri /Matteo Philip.

do you think i could get away with saying it belonged to mussolini  my dads and doug crowthers asturas seem to be the only ones NOT owned by him , it was actually builkt in 1934 as a prototype for mussolini's shopping trips, kept in hiding till after the war the developed by lancia as a good idea, but this is the genuine vehicle lol |
