Title: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: John B on 04 July, 2015, 09:13:24 PM Just a few pics taken today of a small selection of Lancias at my local car show.
Lots of interesting Lancias Fiats, Alfas, Maserati's etc.....and a Rover 100, the only British car there. Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: DavidLaver on 05 July, 2015, 12:17:11 AM I'm sure I used to know the significance of the four stars on the 2C and GT badges on the fulvias...anyone help? What's the car on wire wheels next to the Fulvia Sport in the last picture? Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: John B on 05 July, 2015, 09:40:05 AM Not 100% sure, I think it's a Fiat 850 sport.
Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: John B on 05 July, 2015, 05:31:28 PM A few more pics of the "Best in show" ......according to me anyway.
The red Alfa convertible was stunning.....I forgot to take note of what model it was....anyone know? The Fiat 1500 GT......never seen one of those before. 1951 Ardea was for sale.....couldn't track down the owner to find out the price. Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: stanley sweet on 06 July, 2015, 09:10:25 AM Yes - the car with the wire wheels is a Fiat 850 but it has been modified. Should have a chrome bumper just under the headlights. Is it the silver car you are calling the Fiat 1500 GT? I have a photo of a red one that that regularly turns up at the Dijon historic races but I think it's badged an ASA. I'll see if I can dig it out.

very surprised to see it was a Fiat! Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: frankxhv773t on 06 July, 2015, 12:22:15 PM Special bodied I guess, but by whom?
Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: williamcorke on 06 July, 2015, 04:54:49 PM Special bodied I guess, but by whom? Ghia - '62-'67 (or thereabouts).

I'll see if I can dig it out. Could it be one of these 'baby Ferrari's'? ASA 1000 (Bertone) (http://www.fantasyjunction.com/img/cars/medium/3338.jpg) Its rear 3/4 view is pretty similar to the Ghia 1500 seen below: (http://www.remarkablecars.com/main/fiat/1963-fiat-003.jpg) Both are small cars. Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: ITSA on 06 July, 2015, 09:39:45 PM That lovely Fiat looks like it is indeed a 1500 Ghia. This similar red car is currently for sale at http://www.autoscout24.com/Details.aspx?id=269048441&cd=635677083220000000&asrc=st (http://www.autoscout24.com/Details.aspx?id=269048441&cd=635677083220000000&asrc=st)
Title: Re: Todays car show in Ostuni Italy Post by: stanley sweet on 07 July, 2015, 10:14:52 AM Here's the car I was thinking of that I photographed at Dijon. Shows how your memory can play tricks. Could have sworn it had a heavy chrome grill. It's a Ghia, not an ASA. Also a shot of what I think of when I hear Fiat 1500 - lovely convertible at my local show. Really stylish and another car I'd have in my vast imaginary barn.
