I did a MSUK Steward job at Prescott over the weekend, and when I saw the entry list that there was a 1952 Lancia Aurelia entered I thought I was going to see a Saloon !!!!

It has quite a long wheel base but sounded fabulous when firing properly!!!! It was extremely wet, and it has an exposed distributor more suited to warm Italian days. Upholstered cockpit as well.

It had a bit of a job on against current hillclimb machinery running ex F1 engines.
