Oh well, that's the price I pay for living in Norway I suppose :-), I
don't really care about the spare parts situation, the Lancia Club here
in Norway seems to be remarkably good at finding those for even the most
rare model it seems, and one of the "founding fathers" of the club, who
happens to own one of the few garages in Norway specializing in
Lancia's, owns a 1.6 HF uprated to group 2
specifications......schweeeeet, as someone else so eloquently put it :-)
I'm envious of the fact that you've actually had a chance to drive one
of these though, not to mention having had the chance to buy one.....you
my friend are truly blessed
Beers and cheers
