A couple of Masearti A6GCS's Edit. They are both the same car Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
i almost bought a fulvia 1.3 last year, but the body was too bad... anyway, i prefer the 60 and 70's lancia's. they're uber cool. same league as maserati's, ferrari GT's, astons or riva powerboats. a mint lancia flaminia coupe would be my ideal 'daily use' classic car!!
Its dark blue. The car was restored a few years back. I'm not sure if they used exactly the correct Lancia paint code. I'll take some more soon. The car is in the garage awaiting an oil pressure sensor at the mo' so no chance to drive it somewhere for pretty pictures. BTW Roel, perhaps you know where I can get a Jaeger oil pressure sensor for a Fulvia S2. I've tried everywhere with no luck. Tried Omicron, Bielstein, I've now got a bloke in italy looking for one for me. Cheers Simon Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I have some Lancia friends which I can ask. Do you have more specific info about this oil pressure meter or is it just a Jaeger oil pressure sensor for a Fulvia S2?? (number or anything?)
Thats the only info I have. The later cars had Veglia units. I think these are the only two possibilities for Fulvias. If any body else knows, perhaps the unit comes from another italian car of the same era, an Alfa or Maserati perhaps? Cheers Roel Just to be clear, its the oil pressure sensor not the meter.
I just send them a mail with a question for the SENSOR!! ;0 and I will call him tomorrow if he knows something. I know they have a big garage with lots of Lancia stuff. You saw the pictures with the Lancia Zagato's before......
The 33 Stradale is the most beautiful road car ever - it could have been surpassed only if Ferrari had built a road version of the P4. In the thread I read some inaccuracies regarding the Stradale: 1) Weight was nearer 900Kg, not 572 Kg. 2) The 2.0 litre V8 revved to 11'000 rpm and made 260 BHP at 9'000. I read the story of an Italian businessman who bought one new in '68 and used it for his business trips across Italy. He recalled doing Milan to Turin all at CONSTANT 300 Km/h, with the engine constantly screaming on the edge of 10'000 rpm!!! That car was the Enzo/Mc Laren F.1 of its day - no other road car, be it Ferrari or Lambo, could ever hope to keep up with it neither in a straight line nor on a twisty road. Apparently this guy enjoyed baiting Ferrari V12s on the highway, only to blast them off with a 10'000rpm shrieking acceleration.... The car was also quite reliable, in the way a high-revving motorbike is reliable: constant maintenance and care were required, but the owner drove it for several happy years. Eventually the injection system broke down and the car was forgotten for years in the back of a garage near Milan. That particular 33 is now fully restored and lives in the USA (I saw it at Monterey). Man, it's hard to believe it, but in 1968 Alfa Romeo had the balls and the capability to build the Mc Laren F.1 of its day... how times have changed :-(
The Maserati 450S, IMO the most perfectly proportioned sportscar ever. The same goes for the 300S of course... Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not Alfa, Lancia or Maserati.............but Italian. Do not know a lot about OSI but I like the looks of this car very much... http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4533694644&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RSCC_Pr4_PcN__Winkels
OSI was a small italian company, I think two owners, one of them also owned Ghia, so most of there cars are designed by Ghia. Production was 1960-68.
