It hasn't moved in almost 20 years. It was only after I bought it for restoration that I started to appreciate the pre-fiat Lancias. At this point I think the touring bodied Flaminia coupe is my favourite, followed by the Aurelia. I heard the Thema was built ona Fiat Chroma chassis but it was never imported into the US. There was a very special ferrari engined Thema that always intrigued me.. And then there was the the most outrageous show car ever made was the 1.6 HF Fulvia engined Stratos from 1970. 33 inches high! I would pay just to sit inside that one for 5 minutes!
