2012 Monte Carlo Rallye

[bruciebonuz]

My old Fulvia 1600HF has been entered into next year's Monte by its new owner, Mr A. McAlpine.  Expect to see it in new livery.

Note a certain Mr Sandro Munari is also participating in a Fanalone.

You omitted to mention that among the 306 cars on the entry list is one Sandro Munari, starting from Italy in a Lancia Fulvia 1.6HF!

[bruciebonuz]

You omitted to note my lack of said omission ; )

Is that OWE 250K ?

David

[peterbaker]

Not sure I understand.

[bruciebonuz]

Yes it is OWE 250K

(Peter, sorry for being obtuse - I mentioned Munari in my first post)

[peterbaker]

My fault

Is that OWE 250K ?

OWE300K afterwards

And the rest...apparently the car has had a full engine rebuild, a lot of body work, new paint job, uprated safety equipment, put back to standard interior trim and carbs etc etc etc.  Should be a fine car when done though - apparently it will be a close thing to get it to the start with papers on time.  Fingers crossed. 

[lancialulu]

Any more on Munari and the Lancia museum fanalone he is driving this week???

Tim

[bruciebonuz]

Jings, he has converted my old car to LHD!

[bruciebonuz]

Mmm, not sure its mine actually - he did say he was going to convert it to a series 1 front end (not sure why) but the licence plate suggests its a different car altogether.

[Neil]

Looks like S1 front too?

[bruciebonuz]

He mentioned to me he was going to change the front end but why exactly I am not sure given that a bunch of 1600HFs (not Fanalones) entered the rally last year - maybe it will help eligibility for other events.  He may have scrapped the body altogether as after years of being a race car he said it wasnt the best once the paint was off....

Here's a nice photo of it - I couldnt tell you if its my old car or not but it looks the business!
