About Me:: Been watching sports cars go zoom-zoom since Lime Rock Park opened...old Thompson Raceway, Bridgehampton, the Glen. First car in HS ('68) - a '59 Lancia Aurelia B24. Used to autocross and rally that car around New York and CT...then a '67 P1800S...a great road car and stunning to look at. Many years away from cars aside from an occasional weekend at Mid-Ohio but once again on-track with my two current Lancia projects.

What car(s) do you own?: '66 Lancia Flaminia 3C GT - Superleggera Coupe by Touring - alas off to other vistas...
'81 Lancia Beta Coupe 2.0...awaiting a miracle!

What do you like to do (e.g. vintage race with...)?: Would love to race or possibly just Vintage Rally a Fulvia, a P1800 or possibly a BMW 2002...basically still dreaming as I age!! Really hope in the next year or two to be able to drive my Flaminia 'cross-country to participate in Concorso and all the associated events...vintage sports cars are so much more apart/appreciated on the coasts than in the mid-west.

What would you like to do (e.g. go to race school; get into Vintage Racing)?: B4 I turn 60 would definitely like to attend some schools and someday have a ride to compete in the Pan Americana Carrera...have great early 50's video of this event if anyone interested with phenomenal in-car and aerial footage.

Historic Cars Owned: '59 Lancia Aurelia B24S...'55 Aurelia Spyder...'56 Aurelia Spyder...52/53 Vignale custom B52 Cabriolet....66 Flaminia Superleggera Touring Coupe...67 Volvo P1800S

I feel your pain. My 3C GT needs all new floors and rockers. Fabricating them has been this past winters project.
I'm about 1/2 way there.
If you have any questions...e-mail me at toadry@hotmail.com

I spent 17 years in Michigan (worked for Ford) and have been looking for a Fulvia for the last 5 years. I'm a member of the UK Lancia Owner's Club. I recently bought a 1976 Alfa Romeo Spider. Alfa was always my second favorite mawque after Lancia - and Alfa parts and service are much more easily obtained here. If you find a good source for Fulvias (other than importing from Europe) please let me know! Hopefully see you at Mid Ohio or Road Atlanta some time. Cheers, Norm
