    What else do you think that hooded scope in the cockpit is for? It contains a crystal ball to gaze at your impending doom once airborne ;)

    great idea Pete but what lap times does it pull ?

    there may be "corrosion" somewhere , probably between the nose and tail :rolleyes:

    who cares and yes I would !! :)
    I think that is for having a wiss out of, you know those practical Ruskies ;)
    (the Americans went to great lengths to make the ballpoint pen write upside-down for the astronauts, the Russians used a pencil :p )
    coming for a ride Horsey ? :D
    you know those Kiwis, live anywhere but in NZ :p

    Body of text auto-translates as -

    That he is the only surviving work of Abarth cars of this type. There were originally only three. The car was registered on 08/06/1963 on the Abarth company and then re-registered on 02/03/1966 on the FIAT SPA in Turin, because Fiat Abarth, the company had taken over. Later he went to a collector in the Aosta Valley and finally arrived in 1998 after Heilbronn-Kirchhausen.

    The car has been very successful at major races such as 12 hour Nurburgring (Paul Frere) class win and second overall and Tour d'France and Tour d'Europe (Golderer / Peter Falk) participated. The car was completely disassembled and classical music at Koch sandgestrahlt.Türen, hood and trunk lid have been replaced with aluminum. The engine with its 3 Weber twin carburetors rebuilt and it now develops 186 hp at 6498 rpm and a torque of 210 Nm at 4992 rpm. The 5-speed gearbox and limited slip differential has been completely overhauled and the specially made ​​Koni Suspension erneuert.Die orginalen plexiglass windows were frosted and also had to be renewed. For safety, the passenger compartment is reinforced with a roll cage and installed a racing fuel tank system. Of course the car MOT and FIA Papiere.Weitere has pictures and information can be found in our "press reports".

    Convenient that there are none left for comparison. Sounds like all the "ex- Jim clark" Lotus Cortinas or "ex-Munari" Fulvia HFs. There are so many of these around that it's amazing that the Lancia Factory had time to win some rallies - they were obviously full time building hundreds of HF's for Munari.....

    2300S had an Abarth sump, polished Borgo pistons and a motor worked over by none other than Aurelio Lampredi.

    Crank was nitrided and a gearbox that Ferrari could NEVER get close to for smoothness
