Had forgotten about the 132 :roll:

131 Mirafiori Sport had a beautiful twin-cam engine. I remember my dad red-lining the orange one he had on load from the garage 8)

Spent a day in my dad's cousin's 128 3P going from Varese to Florence in mid-summer (no air-con) - 4 speed 8)

Phil - that twin cam was used in many FIATs and Lancias over many years - even the same basic mill in my Integrale :thumbsup

Spotted an E30 M3 in Edinburgh yesterday, unfortunately going in the opposite directions as I would have want d a better look.

Also saw a white original Élan enjoying themselves on the bends on the Lang Wang.

Took a trip up to Glenmorangie yesterday, on the way saw a 70s Cortina (K plate i think) complete with body mods from the era (big front air dam etc).
Still had it's vinyl roof too. :shock:
