Yep, Lancia was my initial Italian ground breaking and where it all started for me, surprised there's any Italians left walking as they seem all to often to enjoy shooting themselves in the foot.

And in total contrast to the lovely Urraco....

Fond memories of both. Had a go in my friend’s Urraco and found it handled beautifully, but was too slow. Had to rev its nuts off to make any proper progress - not something I enjoy after years of coaxing old cars along.

The dark green Austin 1100 my brother bought for £30 in a pub served us both very well. I use it to drive from Northants to Liverpool in my uni days. Had two cats - one sat on my lap for each journey and the other balanced on the tunnel behind the seats which the exhaust pipe sat close beneath. Surprisingly comfortable, if a little bouncy, ride.

The locals fancied it too - broken into many times and had to open the doors with a screwdriver after replacing too many locks. Learnt to remove the rotor arm every time I parked.

Last memory was changing the clutch master cylinder with my brother on a friend’s front lawn then flogging it for £120. Result.
