    I hope the family keeps the car collection and trophies. That's their history and should stay with them and will only go up in value anyway. I hate seeing amazing car collections broken apart and then hidden in private collections all over the world. Have it stay as a museum to showcase some of the greatest race cars and team of the 80s and 90s.

    The portion of the team sold should be their headquarters/factory and equipment and nothing else. Although they will probably sell it all off including the cars as they have slowly sold off historic cars to raise money over the last few years...

    It would have been a giant sales success if only it came with rich Corinthian leather.

    Of course. However, looking at the situation in F1, how a bunch of morons are running it, getting a buyer will be really tough.

    The Giulia Quadrifoglio is better and faster than a M3.

    In your opinion ...

    For me, putting a Lancia badge on a car when there is absolutely no Lancia DNA in it is just a cheap marketing ploy to fool the unwarry.

    I don't care how good the car is, how nice it looks, it's just a fake. Now, I said it!

    It's trying to capitalise on the Lancia history and reputation to pass a different product. It's tacky and cheap.

    It's like putting a Rolex logo on a Seiko, it's simply bad taste...


    FYI; the original Lancia Thema was a front wheel drive sedan in the 80s, and some had transversal V6 Ferrari engines. John Surtees had one.

    It was not a V6 Ferrari, it was a V8:

    Italian, really ?

    Claudia Cardinale was born Claude Joséphine Rose Cardinale in La Goulette, a neighborhood of Tunis, French protectorate of Tunisia, on 15 April 1938. Her native languages were French, Tunisian Arabic, and the Sicilian language of her parents. She did not learn to speak Italian until she had already begun to be cast for Italian films

    I think that Belushi was of Albanian descent.

    8.32, yes some of us keep the Lancia flame alive....
    The only Williams connection that comes to mind is that their racing teams were both sponsored by Martini.

    This thread has gone on a bit of a wander . . . . Lancia badged Chryslers . . . Claudia Cardinale . . . John Belushi . . . I guess any of those topics are more fun than the fate of the Willie team.

    Back to Williams then. Wasn’t Frank in a bit of a state back when he got fired from his own team by Wolf in ‘76? Quite the force to get where he did after those shambles, especially as the Wolf immediately looked like a serious contender after the FW was gone...so anything could happen I suppose. Although Claire hasn’t exactly been a chip off the old block....

    Right. The current sorry state of the Williams team should not in any way diminish the massive accomplishments of Frank Williams. The thing about history though is . . . it's over.
