Wow Nicest I've ever seen
That is one slick looking ride, congrats on that beauty! If the X is fairly rare these days this car is like spotting the white tiger in the wild, I never see them on the road these days, but saw a clapped out one visiting in PA awhile back. This car and an early 1300 X were the 2 cars I used to walk by and watch for for delivering newspapers at 6am...circa 1977-78 in the way back machine, got me hooked on mid-engined cars and these in particular. Got the blood racing every time, and seeing yours I know still works!

Hi Miles, Lo Maintenance
Wow, Nice Ride!
That is by far the best example of the X-1/9's big brother I've seen in a looong time!
I like the overall look the Daytona's give it, but it seems that a little lowering may be needed. 195/45-14's seem a little too small in diameter and they do not fully fit the wheelwells.
That being said, Great Car!:worship:

I`m going to name you: JJ the car "Flipper".....
outstanding job my friend.Have you given the thought of using the same seat leather in the dash and center console? and what about re-dying or getting a black carpet set? that would make that leather color "jump at you".Are you keeping this one? a keeper? or are we planning a new Ebay record?.....
Great job:headbang: ..by the way,those Daytonas look familiar,does by any chance they came from TX?....lol:mallet::mallet:

Yes those are the Texas Rims. I am going to sell the car because of space more than anything. But I will enjoy her a little first.. I am keeping the carpet original because it is in decent condition. The next owner can change it. The dash would be an extra 700 dollars to do in Leather and a pain in the Arse to put back together. The dash is the weak point of a scorpion. I am not a car flipper. I am a car rescuer and restorer. Albert you would be amazed at how often I lose money on cars by making them perfect. I can give you some examples. The following pictures will ilistrate...
Car Invested amount
Ferrari 82,000
Mercedes 26,000
Alfa Romeo 14,000
Yellow X 11,000
62Fiat1200 10,000
Limousine 17,000
total 160,000
I put some pics up with a reciept on the Alfa for some repair to show you what Im talking about. I really like cars and variety. I in no way made money on any of the above examles. In fact I lost about 49,000 dollars on just these examples...But you are right. I do have a short attention span on cars. I just dig em...:wacko:
And I feel I have just begun...:mallet:

yeap,i`v seen all your cars come and go from your hands,...
all over the time you`ve being here.As i told you before, i was self employed in the car business from 1991 until 2000.Best time i ever had.Traveling to the auctions in FL(from PR) every month,very exciting.But i learned one thing then;"to buy cars for the people/masses" not what i really liked.Believe me i learned the hard way but recuperated from it........I bet you are like me and many others.Every day looking at Ebay,Craigslist,Autotrader etc,looking for bargains and i`ve seen a lot and personally have been very close to buy some in order to resell it Iater.But the way the economy is don`t want to take the risk right now. I believe its a sickness.:mallet::wacko:
But love your Lancia,let me see if i get to go your way again soon before you sell it.The other day rode on Pete W. red one and did like it a lot..............:hypno:
