The Lancia radio delete plate alone must be worth a few €

I normally ignore dealer listings, but this is a right tasty example.

Lots of discussion about avoiding California.
Seems to have spent most of its North American life in Ontario. Made over $22k a couple years ago.

You need to be a French plumber.

Who knew such a thing existed? And like what, 15 hp?

Oh heck yea. I'm an avowed Tintin lover, and have read all the books probably 10x+ since I was 6. I have them too (actual 1970s vintage from when we lived in Brussels, most in English) and read them to my son when he was 3-7-ish years old.

You might want to sit down for this, but you led me to read not just that post but several others in that guy's blog... he made (sitting down yet?) one-hundred eleven Tintin car posts. https://thetransportjournal.com/tag/cars-of-tintin/

You know the overlap in Venn diagrams? This is that.

Thanks BB.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Sounds like he threw the vp catalog at it; it does present well.
My '69 was a daily driver for over 25 years; I put 500k on the poor car, showed it no mercy, and it never once left me walking.
