I know it's completely rediculous, but was 2500.00, completely rebuilt, rides like a dream, 17,000 miles, etc.

It's not your cup of tea, I'm sure, but wanted to see what you guys thought.
Am I banished? Or do you love it? It's a present for my wife--to replace her 73 super beeetle, which has become a permanent installation in the garage. Rides like an F***ing dream....I can't wait to see the look on her face.

We drove one on our last trip to Italy. Cruising down the Amalfi Coast.

I'm so excited guys, tell me what you think, you won't hurt my feelings!

That's cool , sibling to the X/19 ? Lancia has that Alfa Romeo look to it . I've always had a soft spot for the Scorpion . Thumbs up!

Cool car. Looks like the old rally Delta S4's from the front.

My ex-boyfriend bought one new in the 80's. Silver and black. I LOVED THAT CAR!!!!!

The way the roof lifts off is awesome. Talk about fun to drive! We took it from Cleveland to Maine to Boston on a vacation and then I drove it back myself. It was more of a trucker's wet dream than my e30 convertible was. That car has real automotive sex appeal. It could be dangerous letting your wife have it.

About a year after they stopped importing them to the US, part back impossible to get. What is the parts situation now?

That sure is a sweet little go-kart! Yea, the Lancia's are simple enough to keep going (more so than Alfas) and ones like that have the panache too. Good buy, it will be heaps of fun. Just watch the rust- I'd fish oil it all over to give it hte best chance of living as that russian steel makes them all bite the dust harder than most. SHe looks really well looked restored- that's always worth a heap of cash. Nick
