Lancia 2.0 HPE (factory supercharged) what a cracking engine (Lancia tuned Fiat twin cam). used to leave the XR boys for dead.
Thinking about it thats probably cause it weighed nothing due to the amount of missing metal, go to bed at night and the car would be half pound slimmer in the morning, if you looked at it long enough you could watch the rust forming. Big Big negative I know such a shame on a motor that was otherwise a smashing car.

The car I never forget, is my Opel Commodore GS Coupe 1970. Bought it when I was 18 back in 1987. It was white, with something called "mirra" mixed in the clear coat, and a black vinyl roof.
The engine was a tuned and balanced straight six 2,5 litre with two 34/36 weber carbs on it. It was in mint condition, with only 70K miles on the clock.
It was a GTi killer, at least on the straights  ;D

Have no photo of it, but google have ;)
