That was 'kin ace :D

A real one would relieve you of about £400k but a Lister Bell replica jobbie would be about £40k, on the button and ready for the road. I like the full on bonkers rally cars but love the simple road going 'Stradale' look - these were taken at the Bertone factory outside Turin in 1974....

Those are some fantastic Stratos photos. I do love a good Lancia, but then I am biased as I was lucky enough to grow up in one of these:

The Ghia Frogeye is a handsome beast, interesting to note how similar the top of the rear wings is to those of the Triumph Spitfire . . .

The new wing of the Lamborghini factory c.1972, it was built for the Urraco production line but was used as a temporary dispatch area for Miuras, Jaramas and Espadas etc until the new tooling could be installed....

Those Innocenti midgets are actually one the first designs by the legendary Tom Tjaarda, who also designed many a DeTomaso (who in the 70s bought Innocenti from BL).
