Hi Phil. Yes - it was campaigned from 75 to 80 owned and supported by Jolly Club. There are more details in the information on the sales advert from Girardos:
https://girardo.com/car/1975-lancia-...hf-group-iv-5/

It had Alitalia livery at one stage in its life (with some magazine articles published at the time), but from the factory, it was red/orange with Havana interior and red carpets. I've got details of all 492 body configurations if it's interesting for anyone else.

Hi Guy.
The S4 was on the lift a few times, but has now gone back to Girardos.

I was hoping to have a complete set, but sadly, I just couldn't manage to get the timing right.
I took a pic on the day that the S4 went, and left a space on the left to splice in the Stratos. It's cheating - but I just wanted to see them all together. I should really have left the space between the Fulvia and the 037.

Cheers Justin... really like the period black and white shots.... great history with the car

Congratulations! It's making me smile like a lunatic , can only guess how chuffed you are. Quick, get out now before the gritters do!!!

Didn't know you had an S4.

My god they are beyond cool. I love them. :cool:

Even the seats are like something out of a Gerry Anderson program.

Dear Lord. Massive Respect. Close to my all time dream garage. Appreciate the Strat is not in final pic.
Stratos, 037, Delta S4 Already weak at the knees and grinning childishly like Tim.
Hopefully catch up at NEC
Thank you Justin for making the memories come back to life
All the best

Yes - the interior was definitely over and above what they needed to do for homologation.
It even has air con and power steering - Lancia's own design of course.

Hi Neil.
No to the T16 - it's always just been Lancia for me.
I'm helping on the LMC stand on the Friday and Saturday - next door to the SEC. I'm sorry that my car wasn't ready in time to have on the group's stand.
Anyway - hope to see you and others there.
Cheers,
Justin.

Thanks Tim. I am very pleased so far. Needs a few more decals though.
I've not tried getting into the boot yet. I'm not sure that it's as well made as yours.

Just perfect! Even down to the colour. I would go as far as to say they are (to me) the best looking seats in any car ever. Were they comfy/supportive?
