Kindly advise where this collection is situated. Looks worth a visit if open to the public.
I can't identify the cream vehicle with number plate ending OU4537 --- can you remember ?

Sorry can't recall what model that one is--however I will take a look at the other photos and see if it's clearer elsewhere.
The venue is Abarth Works Museum, just north of Brussels. The owner, Guy Moerenhout, is a really knowlagble chap. and very accomadating, or he was to us.
If you're in that area it's well worth a visit.
Did anyone spot the Porsche? albeit a repro, and in very poor condition--and NOT FOR SALE.
Cheers
Ian

Thanks Ian. Of course Lancia and Abarth did have a strong connection.

It's a Polish FSO (or later FSM) 'Syrena' - they had either 750cc 2-cylinder or 850cc 3-cylinder two-stroke engines.

Probably included in the museum as they were often used in rallying (much like the Saab 96).

Thanks Andy - That'll be the Syrena restored on Wheeler Dealers.
