Good story Theo...I presume the attendee from Japan didn't drive to the event from Japan in his car?
Fame at last! Nice pictures although I think you need an orange or Kawasaki green Gamma just to lift the pictures a little.
A couple of new ones have popped up in Ireland recently. A black Berlina and a silver Coupe.
The one piece of information missing is who the 131 owner (or forum member) it was....
You're right Kevin, our Japanese member (and his wife) didn't drive from Japan even though he owns 3 Gammas (the only 3 Gammas in Japan) and a few other Lancias. In fact they couldn't even get a direct flight to Heathrow and had to fly via Helsinki.
No leery bold colours for Gammas Kev; these are classy cars!
In fact, in the UK at least, all Series 2 Gammas only came in metallic colours and most of them very sedate such as gold, silver, light blue etc. There were more colours, including the ubiquitous flat Italian red and Lancia blue, with the Series 1 cars. There was also black available as a special order colour but the Coupes at least had to be specially selected from the production line to find cars whose panels were good enough to be sprayed black.
I know about the Black Berlina in Monaghan and the Silver Coupe in Galway. Strange thing is that they are both for sale and the Coupe was only sold to Ireland recently. And I have it on good authority that the black Berlina may be returning to the UK shortly
The "missing" piece of information was on purpose Kev as I wasn't sure I should be reporting on other people's whereabouts
