Unfortunately I wasn't free to get back to Grenoble right away, and the next time I heard about the car it had been sold to a scrap yard. I recall being quite disappointed at missing out on this little Euro econobox, since all it needed was a CV joint to get it back on the road.
Finding these pictures was a lucky stroke, as I don't know that I would even have thought of it again otherwise. It's still fun to think that I was so close, and yet so far, to owning this funky little Lancia!
