So do you put it in your living room or den? Sure as hell never going to drive it on public roads!

Having a awesome car and not driving it is like not sleeping with a hot girlfriend.

You can catch some ZZZZZs with her but that's all your going to do with her...

Taking an ex works GrB to most historic rallies is bringing knife to gunfight and for many events would not be eligible.

Here is a Lancia (and Alfa) last month at the US Mille Miglia warmup which I have been a part of since inception here.

The events it would be appreciated at are like Goodwood which is mostly a show and Rally Legends which I ate going to require strict racing license requirements.

Really no where to run it as a rallycar like it’s meant if you lived and brought to N America. Hillclimbs but would be forced to modify so many safety features that would destroy the historical value of an original GrB car. There is a 037 replica being built in NE to run at Pikes Peak. But if you can afford it no problem keeping in Europe and visiting it.

Me codriving GrA Integrale in US.

So you win the auction and you really do plan to put it in your living room to admire 24/7. Just for grins you call your Hagerty agent and when he asks if you if the car is garage kept you answer "no sir, it's living room kept". Then you tell him you guess you really don't need insurance since you won't be tagging or driving the car. Then he tells you that if your house burns down your car will not be covered since home owner insurance does not cover items that are supposed to have their own insurance. Wonder what the agreed value would be on that 037?

Reminds me of the time that I got to thrash Al Cosentino's Lancia 037 on Mulholland Drive. That was a good day indeed.

What ever happened to his 1000 Abarth sedan (600 body)? The one that won all his trophies.

Last I heard it was in Florida.

Must be worth a pretty penny unless it has been raced by many subsequent owners who lost the provenance of his car.

Sorry to drift the original topic.

Yep, at Miles Collier's REVS Institute in Naples, FL. They have much FAZA memorabilia in their archives too, including Al's famous snorkel hat.
