Lancia!

I am sure Kev will agree, there are not enough Lancias on this site, spotted this Prisma in the cattle market in Notts last week.... very nice!

Rare as! Seems to be even fewer Prismas' around than Suds...

I know! Did a double take! two years ago I went up to Bradford to look at one, drove beautifully but literally had a fist size hole in the roof!!

It wasn't a bergundy coloured one was it. I had one many years ago, it was mint apart from a nasty hole in the roof near the sunroof?

[Fiatchris]

No it was dark blue, but that was where the hole was ... and it was nasty!

had quite a few prismas in my time, quirky looking cars with the bit stuck on the back of a delta but great packages.

the prisma even got 4WD before the delta....

There is a guy near croydon south london that has a hf turbo delta and prisms on his driveway they both look like they have been there a while.
Always tempting to knock at the door .
May have to next time im passing but 9 out of 10 times they wont sell them and just leave them rusting away.
I also know a guy that has a series 2 33 1.7 and a series 3 16v 33.
Ive pestered him a few times over selling them but i will succed somepiont in getting them.

the guy I bought my integrale from was like that, think he was just testing how serious a buyer I was...took about 7 or so years of pestering him!

These two are near Croydon I go past them quite a bit and am always tempted to knock and find out what's going on with them.

lovely pair of Lancia there Pat, i'd be interested to know more...
Dedra is a 2 litre according to DVLA, not been taxed since '96 which is odd being it's a '90 model, they weren't that bad on rust to have been killed off that early. isn't a turbo though, just a 2.0 i.e. but still a nice car.
they rusted around the rear arches in much the same way as the 155, not surprising as they were pretty much the same car..
Delta appears to be a 1.6 HF turbo, grille bage looks to be a HF one rather than a GTi.e. one. no bonnet scoops is correct for the HF if I remember correctly, they were standard on the earlier carb cars but dropped on the injection ones, to resurface again on the HF4WD. I fitted a pair to my injection HF as they looked great back in the day, not much else had a bonnet scoop back then!

it's been off the road since '93 by the looks of things so both long term SORN cars...



be interested to hear any more on them Pat

[Greencloverleaf pat]

Kev next time I go by I will stop and knock at the door to find out more

Keeping the theme of Lancia and spotted, I saw one of these Fulvia's coming towards me on the opposite side of the road on the way home from work today near Stamford. Same colour scheme too with the bonnet logo. Not sure if it had any more logo's on it like the rally cars had as I only got a quick glance.
Anyone know of such a car in Lincs area?
