I had hoped in vain its location would render it unsellable above $20,000. That was never going to happen.

Interesting little thing but still wouldn't want one

I actually like these but it's now at $50,250 and 3 days to go so I'm out if I want to get my house sorted.

Another Rally Legend that would go nicely with the Fulvia in my fantasy garage.

There's one dying in the front garden of a house near my parents. I remember when it was working when I delivered newspapers to it as a teenager.
They had 2 of them, and a DS.

Next door had the cars I was interested in though. The two brothers who live there had Lancia Beta's. One black, one white.

The Visa GTi had a 1.6 injected 4 pot, the base model had a 652 2 pot air cooled derived from the 2CV
