Ah! That explains it. I don't really follow this so didn't know his son was involved too.
That made me laugh too Chris, I had to rewind it & check my ears, De Virgilio, Busso, Jano, I am sure they may appreciate the blurred lines!!!Quote:

This is a good view as well (1) STRATOS - YouTube
and this one (2) Lancia Stratos Screams at the Roger Albert Clark Rally - Pure Sound [HD] - YouTube

To put the record straight British Rally Media were incorrect stating it was an Alfa v6 .
Its a Lancia /24v engine based on the Ferrari Dino The photo on the right is a 12v both are homoligated.
Replicas generally use a V6 Alfa great engine and about ?100k cheaper!
We have to use the big silencers in UK to get the noise down, in rest of the world they go in the bin!

And for the person about to type - Its probably in there to blank the boss for a lambda for tuning........... don't
I did think, that's a strange place to keep a spare spark plug.
