Much Less Guessin’ in Essen
Thanks to our readers we’ve determined the identities of the cars at Essen in last week’s VeloceToday, as well as some thoughts and experiences regarding painted Webers. Still, we could use more information on that Fiat single seater!!.

London Encounters
Alessandro Gerelli in London.
A good photographer (what I am not) always brings along a photo machine when walking around in a city, watching here and there for any kind of subjects.
This weekend I was in London for a pop music concert and I had with me my photo tools: I have brought back three images that may interest our readers.
The first is a picture of a Lancia Stratos Stradale: what a small beauty ! No Aston, Bentley or Porsche may compete!

Book Review by Pete Vack
Of all the post war Alfa Romeo Giuliettas and Giulias, the Guilia GT coupe is widely recognized as the most well-proportioned and beautiful of them all.
There were three basic under two liter Alfas in the 1960s; the Satta sedan, heavenly but no beauty; the Duetto by Pininfarina, a landmark as it was, but the proportions were not perfect; and the Giulia GT Coupe. Finding fault with the styling of the coupe was almost impossible.

Review by Pete Vack
From the early 1980s to the mid 1990s, Lancia, already owned by Fiat, virtually dominated the World Rally Championship with a small, unobtrusive looking tintop called the Delta.

By Brandy Elitch
