Guy, I know there was a previous version of the club, but that pretty much disappeared along with the old website etc. and Ian had to create something from scratch. So I kind of see them as separate entities, but if all you old original folks see this club as a continuation, that's fine - just occurred to me that it needed to be marked in some way.
Yep, Beta's 50, and also the Lambda's 100 next year! If they're sticking with an "every 50 years..." thing, maybe Stellantis will announce something positive and exciting about Lancia's future soon, and is it too much to hope for a new model - I mean a proper, Lancia-heritage-type model, maybe a reworking of that Fulvia concept from 2003 - as well?
No idea of what we might do to celebrate - all depends on what gives with the virus and lockdown. You never know, this thread might just be yer lot

Fred, didn't know you lost your car for a while! That must have been scary! Must have been a massive relief when you got it back!
Thanks for the 10th/33rd cake too, reminds me of the Lancia 30/50 event in 1978 they held at Donington....so maybe there's an idea for us in another 20 years? As Guy says, we're all getting old, so it'll probably be more of a meeting of Alitalia-liveried wheelchairs
