This guy is a plastic surgeon from Rome.

He says his car is a real one, found tucked away in Portugal. Apart from a non standard exhaust, we had no reason to doubt him.

After a short sprint, our first proper test on Saturday was a run on the Autodromo di Pergusa.

We arrived at the circuit in the company of the 2.2E, which was running third at the start of day 3.

Ok I'll have a stab at the first few:

- late '30's Lancia Aprilia
- late '50's/early '60's Mercedes 300 SL Roadster
- later (mid '60's) Fiat 850 Spider (possibly with Abarth mods)
- late '50's MGA 1500 (could be an early 1600 but would need to see rear lamps)
- C Type Jaguar - looks like a replica
- late '50's Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

You got 4 out of the 9 cars pictured, Andy. And lose a point for not being more precise with years. :blackeye:

OK probably got the Lancia wrong - is it an Ardea ?

As for the 718 RSK - definitely looks like a replica to me - did you see the engine/transaxle ?

We left the circuit behind the austrian 924 Turbo:

We had a good view of this car over the event, and it's a pretty attractive proposition for rallies like this one 8)
