It was definitely green/grey in colour (I would have remembered it in RED!).

Found it James, A gentleman from Henley On Thames quite active in the owners club and across a variety of posts a saga of restoration. The car is Californian Sage and here it is...

An extraordinarily lovely colour.
Wonder how much a rear window for one of those costs...?

various bits from a meeting pre Classic, the usual tin so hopefully these few are of sufficient interest

Fiat argenta
Image
Image

Studebaker truck
Image

2 of many usual French vans
Image

Image

old classic meets new(er) Classic

this i'd quite happily sell my Kidneys and anyone else's to have this....
Image
Image

absolutely gorgeous, Lancia V6, i first thought Aurelia but apparently some Italian body builder special

and finally the strangest thing i've ever seen at the Classic.....i give you 'Le Monstre'

Image

so big it just about fitted width wise into Pit area and length wise? no way, only a tool chest behind it!

Image

a little bit of history about it...

Love Lancia's (even the much maligned Beta)

Your gorgeous photo is of a Lancia Flaminia Zagato Coupe. I think the boot lid badge is "Flaminia Sport" and the front wing has the "Zagato Milano" badge. There is a Flaminia Supersport which replaced the Sport in 1964 but that had a Kamm tail.

When they were parked there they were all street legal, three of them belong to John on the XM forum and the white one was mine which sadly failed its MOT due to tin worm. The have been there for some years now, except the white one which I sold. I will post a picture of what they look like now.
