The 3L FD was a nice drive in its day but for every day driving especially around town I had a liking for the 2L FD. Nicely balanced chassis with less weight up front. Also liked the tune of the 2L, responsive, slightly "cammy" crackle. Rose tinted glasses also comes into play in this recollection of the past, no doubt !

Auriol in the electric Chicherit tweaked Lancia Delta
Hopefully they have eliminated some of the poor Italian designed mechanical drivetrain packaging. Auriol said the electric GCK Delta was better than he anticipated.

These are nice old bombs, i prefer the farina shape sixes but these had a manual three speed on the tree or our one did, and it has its unique charm
There's 1 component that shouldn't be on it , that gold aliexpress front brake fluid reservoir . A smoked brembo reservoir with a black cap would suit it better .

My favorite Snipe was the pre-war model they made until 1952. What a beast!
Underpowered, unimaginative, costly and for not much more one could get a Jag saloon.

That Supersnipe is remarkably similar to a Jag XJ8
