Had a visitor yesterday in Rome show up in this. 1992, he has it since 95, and it had 435k km on the clock!

Didn’t they sell the Y10 badged as a Lancia in the UK? Must only ever have been a very minority interest here.

An ex of mine had on. Certainly not a motorway car it was very noisy, especially compared with my then Rover 213. The White Hen was  rusting on the roof.

I suspect that when they were originally parked up, they were probably worth about £50 each!

No pics unfortunately as driving but in one trip through maidstone I saw a late EType 4.2, and in one line of traffic a P5B, Rover R8, a rusty mk3 Capri on RS wheels and a burgundy 5dr Sierra pulling a trailer of junk like it's 1994.

I was in Sulhamstead (which is near Reading, in case you're not sure!) at a friend's birthday party yesterday. As I pulled into the Spring Inn pub, I espied this amazing Hillman Minx:

IMG_5339.jpegThe paint looked like it'd been applied with a house painter's brush, but there was no rust visible and, according to the barman, it's in regular use by one of the "regulars" (Ahem!)

I saw that at a biker show over Hull way. I had a chat to the young lad who owns it, he's welded it up and got it back on the road.

His mate has a number of Hillmans including an Avenger Convertible and Plymouth Cricket!

Walk past this a lot, it's been there years slowly rotting. To my surprise, it got spruced up this year! (Too lazy to get a new photo)

I can't profess to know much about it, but these two are also always parked up the road from me.

Same guy showed up in this today, which he’s had from new in 1991. He’s our new gardener
