Or a Lancia Delta Integrale Turbo never had one but drooled over them at the time. Not sure what happened to Lancia´s design department after that - it would seem they all went blind. All the new Lancia´s are fugly.

I passed by Taupo yesterday and saw a couple of the lovely Citroen L15s. There were quite a few around Welly in the early - mid eighties, but I rarely see any round now. Perhaps they have rusted away?

Bit more than a decade ago. . crumbs it was 2. I pulled into a lookout carpark overlooking Turangi and found a bunch of Beardies with photo chromatic glasses and elbow patched suede jackets posing by their cars with the families over there out of photo.

Agh, there's a Lagonda. Wait - Its the Aston Martin club!

See them pop up from time to time here. Obviously not the brutal rally spec ones but I tried to get all my pennies lined up for a tidy road version that was about 12-14k 3 years ago.

Think the designers went to work for Alfa

Survival rate of those is actually pretty good. They are one of the few cars you can restore with just a grinder, folder and welder....Not surprised you saw some round Taupo, someone in the area used to specialise in restoring them.

The words lovely and Citroen should never appear in the same sentence!!!
