Judging by these photos I'm guessing that you're not a big fan of Lancias ?

it's a Merak with body modifications, refraining from using the word 'kit' as it's not, i believe it's a one off from the factory, that was the gist of conversation with Italian lady owner

I don’t recall seeing any parked up, did see a HF turbo on the drive, they must have been hiding somewhere, there was only 3 Ferrari’s there, normally over 100, as Jules said, surprised there was anything there, especially the older Maserati’s, weather was appalling, and it was the day Philip was stood out on a barge for 4 hours getting a bladder infection

I see there were some Giulietta's there. Looked like the high power petrol versions though.
Mine would have really put their's to shame being a 1.6 diesel with plastic hubcaps.

Mine is painted Etna Black (red metalflake in it) don't you know.

Some lovely metal there, I love the Maseratis, even the modern ones.
Pure class. Thanks for the pics.
