Thanks. I’m a bit disappointed after seeing the rest of it, though...

Yeah they’re odd looking cars. I’ve read a couple of contemporary reviews of them which were glowing though. I’d quite like one as an oddball DD.

I’m not surprised it’s good, most old Lancias were great cars, which of course cost a lot to develop but didn’t sell as well. Saab went out of business for a similar reason. Who knows where Lancia is headed.
Back on topic; I like the Gamma coupe better.

But then again, this is so similar to the Ferrari 400i that you might as well have that over the Lancia then...

Yeah it’s a tricky spot to occupy that. Mercedes has done it well, but they’ve been very careful to conserve their reputation through the decades & cultivate a certain upper class clientele.

My dad had a Gamma coupe once upon a time. They had an odd power steering pump arrangement that ran off the back of one of the cams. Unfortunately if you hit a curb too hard it would snap the timing belt! I’m sure there’s ways around that though.

My dad's one got hit by a branch falling from a tree and insurance wrote it off, but my dad bought it back, fixed it and ended up £500 better off!

Random side note: Gamma Coupé looks great.
