I love Lancias and one of the (very) few cars that I genuinely regret selling was my Beta Spyder.
And turning an HPE into a sleeper car has been on my to do list for a while .... but this one looks too good to chop about.

I have used Steve for PPIs on a couple of Ferrari purchases ... very good and highly regarded in F world but can't comment from personal experience on workshop.
IMO non standard small plates on the front of cars are a bad idea .... much better to run without one and claim it must have fallen off if ever stopped ;)
