I saw the car at a used car dealer while travelling in early '98 and fell in love with it instantly. But unfortunately, I didn't have the money they were asking for it at the time. Thankfully, I was back there again about three months later. They had marked it down substantially, so I took it for a drive and then talked them down even further (the steering rack badly needed reconditioning). And so it came home with me! I probably tinker with it more than drive it, but both are fun. (it now has a ‘new’ Fiat/Lancia engine, gearbox and assorted other stuff). It is definitely not a ‘town’ car (the Airflows and Cam don’t stop arguing until about 5000rpm). This is OK by me, as I’m a stanch supporter of the view that if you are going to drive hard, then you should only do it out on open roads or under competition conditions, where you are likely to be the only casualty of your mistakes. The "Rally"-style (split) front bumper was on it when I brought it and looks like an original fitting. I’ve never seen another like it here in Oz, and would be interested to know its history.
