That's a shame - I was hoping it was made to measure suits of armour. If it really is fish and given where you are I suppose the choice is anchovy, tuna or sardines. And the cheapest is....sardines? 15 hours ago, rogerguzzi said: We do not find them to bad(its just getting in and out!) Trust that in either case that is not after drink is taken!

Nick Jones Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Italian...... but not Lancia I don't think...... not Beta anyway. Bertone.... Fiat or Alfa. Echoes of the Dino in there..... Don't know basically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_tr6 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Definitely not a Lancia Beta Coupe (I have one) but I’m pretty sure it’s a Fiat 128 Coupe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymcp Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Nice pair of Lomax(s?) next to the 2CV. Both with full weather kit, and the white one has 4 wheels by the look of it (224 model). I built one in the mid 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
