The red one with white wheels?
If it is then, wow!
You have a real one, I've only got a pretend one......

Hi - yes, it's the one that Girardo & Co. currently have listed. I was actually after a stradale, but liked the look of this one and couldn't find a stradale. Once I get it - I'd be happy for anyone to call in to have a look at it (I'm close to Hereford). I'm not going to hide it away, and am planning to use it in at least some of the Midland Hillclimb championship next year. Just for fun though - I certainly won't be pushing it - I'm not a good enough driver (have to be realistic).
Did any of you guys go to the Lancia National Rally last month? There were plenty of hawk and LB cars there for the 50th anniversary. I have to say, the replica cars looked fantastic and are a credit to their owners and builders. I'm sure that most are better put together than a stradale.
Anyway - thanks for the replies. I'll join the group properly and post updates as and when.
Cheers,
Justin.
Justin, congrats on your new acquisition! Hope you have lots of fun with it!
As you'll have noticed, we're not over-endowed on here with "genuine" cars - but don't worry, we're not proud or stand-offish, and we won't look down on you for having one![]()
As it happens, and just to prove it, I've got a spare pair of those foil-type "LANCIA HF" and "STRATO'S" stickers, which you can have for the princely sum of....nowt
I originally got them for my ListerBell, but got cold feet on applying them when it occurred to me that it wouldn't be fair to LB not to give them credit for the wonderful car they produce. So PM me with your address and I'll post them over, assuming you've not already acquired some!
Actually, now I think about it, maybe there IS a price for them - you have to bring your car along to one of our events, whether it's a garage day or one of the drive-outs we put together....![]()
And if you need more decals Justin, try 'Renmuir' - Jim has loads so probably has some extra.
Thanks Chris - I'd like to put a few back on that were removed for the recent bodywork. The 'Bertone' on each side, and maybe a decent sized 'Lancia' and 'Strato's' on the back.
I'm not really keen on its current livery - but I guess its part of the history. I love the colour though.
It was even re-done as Alitalia in 2006:
I think they look nice with a big 'HF' and an Italian flag on the front of the door - but I don't want to get carried away.
Thanks Norm.
I'll hopefully be driving the car to as many events as possible and would love to come along to a group meet. To be honest, I need to go through the forum to catch up on what's been happening.
I'm the LMC meeting co-ordinator for the Hereford/Worcester/Gloucester area, so if there are any members here who would fancy coming along to a meet - please let me know and I'll add you to my circulation list. You don't have to be a Lancia club member or need to bring a Lancia.
Thanks,
Justin.
Congratulations!!! You have picked an excellent car, it will be a fascinating comparison compared to your other motors.
I think I can guess how addicted you will be, Enjoy
Tim. (Beta, Hawk etc)
