Would be nice to make this a bit of a beta meet up, quite central for most folk I think

Quite close for me  - if I wasn't in Wales at the time.

I'm not doing very well with meets this year!

They usually signpost it and it is fairly casual but best to get there reasonably early the fiat forum crowd are going to be there and they say that start is 1030. It will be swamped with fiat and alfa so unless some lancias get there early ish we'll get squeezed out! I will be there either in my chrysler delta or more likely (as the wife proclaimed the event boring last year) tagging along with Steve Thompson in his vx coupe

Tell him Ferrari is a newcomer brand compared to Lancia. Vincenzo Lancia was one of Enzo Ferrari's boyhood heroes.

The theory is that Lancias are often a bit worn due to the fact they are great to drive, Ferraris are great to polish.....

And don't forget that they donated the d50 to enzo to save the Ferrari f1 team from disaster

I always find it quite satisfying at these sort of events. There are normally loads of Ferraris, mainly red of course and so after looking at a few you get overload, similar to recent Alfas, so move onto something different which is where the likes of Lancia come into their own, interesting variety and not a great line to get bored looking at (usually...)

Good day nice turn out with several Betas on display along with a few other lancias and of course a huge amount of fiat/alfa and a sprinkling of exotics, apologies I didn't take any pictures

As discussed check the aux air valve is working properly, they can become sticky with old age
