    More like an Isopon Gamma, more filler and fibreglass than metal, I remember one of them near me before and you could see the rust outline of the car on the ground after it left, it's where the expression "Rust bucket" came from.:pac:
    yeah yeah italian = rusty. same old comments.That car is actually in very good nick compared to many of the mk3 cortinas and w123 mercs etc.... that it would have shared the road with when it was new. I got a good look around it earlier this week. worth spending some cash on it to get a nice looking unusual car. I think it's worth saving.

    I've not seen one of these before - a 1979 Lancia Gamma according to Cartell - pictured in Dorset Street this evening.

    .............I saw one parked on Park Gate street yesterday, surely the same one. It looked rough and in fact it looked as though it hadn't moved in ages, only I pass frequently and never saw it before.

    Yep. Same one. Waiting on parts. Rare as hens teeth. Mech fuel pump. He will probably end up putting an electric one in.

    Yep. Know the daft individual. Webber carb. Later ones were injected. Pump is in a really awkward spot. I actually misdiagnosed the problem initially. There was plenty of pressure at the carb while cranking. Stripped carb but no blockage. Hot day must have expanded fuel in tank to give pressure through the pump. When fuel cap removed, flow stopped. At least we know that the carb is ok.

    On Sunday I took a drive out to Edenderry on the hunt for some classic Land Rovers.
    On the way I noticed a few classics tucked away. I took the following photos of two of them, but heres what I say

    1986 Suzuki SJ410, no rear seats parked outside a function room's in Edenderry.

    VW Beetle,1200, parked beside a shed, no house on property, no one around to check with.

    Renault 5 (no picture yet) in a farm yard near Sallins, also lots of trucks and tractors also.

    Meet a few cars in Allenwood on there way to Kildare for the classic show, including a VW pickup, Fiat 127, Cortina late 60's.

    Also found a scrap yard near Robertstown, had a drive in but only a few late 80's Toyotas and Nissans.

    Planning a trip to Galway this weekend, you never know whats about :)
