Fantastic to see and looks good too.  I knew about the blue and red Symbols but I haven't come across a grey one before.  So yes, very rare!

Congratulations! I just bought a resin kit of a Prisma on e-bay and it got me wondering how you were getting on. They are wonderful cars so I know you are really going to enjoy it.

But a nice 4WD version might be even better!
Lovely to see it though Tim,
Do I take it you're getting hooked on Delta & it's derivatives?

Delta 4wd and Integrale were \I believe the only Lancia 4x4s officially imported. I think there were 4x4 versions of various post Delta cars sold in Europe.

I have seen Graham's car which is very straight and in nice condition. The wheels are Beta and I would remove them in an instant. I am pretty sure they have the wrong offset and they just don't look right. The original wheels suite it perfectly or failing that some Dedra or Y10 alloys would do.
