Good Event but only "Fay" an integrale and Peter Dicks Beta Volumex Coupe to keep up the Lancia side.

The Zagato was out for the first time after a 6 year restoration, badged as a 1600 HF but I don't know what is under the bonnet as the shell was from a 1300. not an LMC Member and I can't find anything in the 2000 & the 2011 registers.

'Vitesse in Drag' the owners description not mine; I had a long chat with the owner and it took 2000 hours over a number of years to build, certainly looked the part even if the engine wasn't all it might have been, but that would have been way beyond his budget.
The 2.0 Straight 6 engine out of a Vitesse  has been worked on and puts out about 95bhp at the wheels, owner says it should be good for 130mph but he has no intention of trying it!
I can't remember who he said made the body, but the vitesse engine and chassis were used as the wheelbase etc was the same as required to fit the body.
His next project will be a Ferrari 250 GTO Replica ;)

I think I recognise the body but can't remember who made it. However just how cool would that be with Flaminia ruñning gear?

Certainly makes a change from the Porsche and Cobra replicas.

Certainly something similar due to the convenient dimensions.

Well Sleuthed David! he did tell me the name but I'd forgot, you're spot on.

Yes - quite a nice generic 50's racer if you incorporate the right detailing. The 'Ferrari' built in Germany would make you look twice.
