    Thanks Paul for bringing the car to the Club Stand, and Welcome to the Club.


    Paul's car showed the clear differences between the real, and replica cars, when you start to look closer at them side by side. Small bits are missing here and there, return edges on the tub and chassis different etc.
    Close the cam's and it becomes harder to spot, mind, and as was pointed out to me, the front louvres are much deeper in design than any of the replicas, they must allow a lot more air flow than the replicas get.

    Maybe we need a group buy on some authentic one? Just an idea?
    With regard to the front louvres, I heard Gerry discussing them, apparently on all the original cars he has had dealings with he had noticed the the louvres tend to fatigue crack where the louvres but up to the front clam. Therefore he changed the design of the louvres to include a wider section of metal between the edge vent and the clam to prevent this fatigue cracking

    Pretty certain that the colour of the LB car is a RAL colour (I could be wrong!). Chris Smith's car is the 'original' Lancia colour but I've had a sample of that made up and it looks a bit washed out in bright lights. Ended up having a colour matched from a 1:18 scale Sunstar model I have which looks the most 'right' for the car, in my eyes. It's not til it's on the car that I'll know for sure, though - too difficult to tell from an A5 test card...!

    Yep, I've seen various pics of the original green and in some it looks very pale. Mind you green is a very difficult colour to photograph. I like the colour that Alfaholics used on their restoration, I contacted them and they said they couldn't remember what it was, it was just a colour the owner liked. I think that's their way of telling me they don't want to tell me!

    Anyway - apologies for the thread hijack.

    As you were.
