Excellent turnout! didn't count but could have been 50 Lancias in attendance. Good to meet up with so many club members and lots of interest from 'Jo public'. Will's Appia and Adams B20 in pride of place on the Brooklands Trust stand.
I'd not tackled the Test Hill before so got that ticked off. Odd experience as it is over in seconds and the Fanalone was best left in 1st gear all the way up!
Didn't take many photos although others did and they will no doubt appear on here soon.
Thanks go to Neil for once again booking us an excellent display area.
Robin.

Excellent day over on the Brooklands Museum Display with Will's Appia and the B20 attracting much interest and appreciation.
Had an interesting chat with a chap full of enthusiasm for the Aurelia as he had just bought one.
He felt the car drove better than any of the contemporary Italian thoroughbreds that he owned - fortunatly I had already twigged that the individual before me was "JK" of Jamiroquai and that he knew what he was talking about.
I wonder if he bought an Aurelia on the recommendation of his fellow owner down at Goodwood.
A great day and a pleasure to show the cars to such an enthusiastic and large audience.
Any pictures welcomed.
Adam

We're into the "not Lancias" set here. That Fiat 3P tugs at the heart strings. Since last year I've discovered its "scrap yard to show car" story and this year got to hear it in the queue, it held its own against the Pantera, and scamper up the hill. The Abarth we christened "The Ladybird Car".

Looks an excellent day - so much nice stuff to look at. Love the flying boat, I've got a thing about flying boats. Think I might have to take home the beautiful little red Abarth (1000?). I have a thing about Abarths too. Unfortunate number plate on the Pantera...

For you... A couple of repeats but here's the set. The intention is to "photo merge" the three side on but am on the wrong computer to do that now.
The rear screen was more of a sunroof the angle it was.

Thanks David. They are just gorgeous. Apart from the looks I love highly tuned small engines. I have photos of a beautiful one I took at Dijon but I won't hijack this thread.

I spotted the tail in another photo. The engine is from another car. Its an absolute work of art, but these days rather than thinking how nimble and what great traction and how compact I think about it having an impossible peddle offset and being sensitive to setup and prone to wander and flick oversteer and how flimsy a wee thing it is. A similar car here. http://fa-automobile.com/detail-vente.php?car-for-sale=Abarth-Simca-1300&id=62&v=3399#David |
