Ahhhh cool ... I didn't get it till I opened the picture!

Is that just chance that they're like that ?

I wonder if there are any others out there ... I did spot an quattro with a very close registration to mine for sale at Walkers ....
Regards,

Hi Brian, i knew it was the was the ex Betty car, i had seen the reg in the 2000 register so i knew the car was somewhere, but was supprised to see it at the AGM, where i met the owner , but cannot remember his name, but as luck would have it he and his wife were on our table for dinner on the saturday night, spooky or what :o thats when i found out the car was his when we got chatting as you do ,what have you come in etc, we had to move the cars around on the Sunday for the pic which Roddy Young sent to me.( got the past president to move his Alfa ;D ;D), My HF is slightly older, but not much ;) ;)

They were probably at the original Lancia dealers in much the same pose when they were waiting to be collected by their respective owners!
On the Aurelia rally in Belgium 2005 the car with the Chassis number the one before my B24 was there as well, but I didn't manage to get a Picture of them together. What would the chance of that be today that the cars that followed each other down the production line would be reunited some 47 years later!
