Time after time it has been said, don't internet surf when you have just come back from a curry and beer!

Will I never learn, who in their right mind would want a project Trevi!

It is being delivered Saturday afternoon so no collection thread as such.

Judging by the degree of rust and condensation, I'd say that should be a tourist attraction in its own right: the second Trevi Fountain.

Wishful thinking. 

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one on the road. Dare we ask what’s wrong with it ( apart from terminal rust)?

So as well as extracting a broken xantia from its resting place I have to manoeuvre an even deader lancia into the space vacated?

Whole weirdo dashboard

2x weird dash controls with lights

2x clocks

All sitting in my rented lockup

All my panels went to Mr Bickle and / Beta Boys consortium

I reckon you’ve just found a buyer for all your Trevi bits.

Not quite! This one is going straight into storage where it will remain dry for the winter.

Either that, or you won't be able to see it because of loads of eeijts people blocking the view.

Is that not known as the Swiss cheese / Emmental dashboard?

Well take a good stare at the photo above and decide.  The competition is on

@flat4alfa That is a beautiful Trevi! Were those leather seats or the cream cloth? 

Leather yes, but a strip and after market recovering.  Were originally the same blue in yours.

I pulled the seats and put them in my blue Beta S3

Both cars are very much still on the show circuit

It is. It is Emmental. The only other ones that come close are Leerdammer or Maasdam

If you wanted it transporting (Xantia) I'll come and help and winch it out of there and onto the back of my Sprinter and away the same day. If where it was going in Welyn I could even get it down there same day....
