Yes, I like to work on myLancia Zagato, a little "Azuro" (blue) Italian convertible car. Performance updates, sound system...Lots of fun! But the most fun is driving it. This model is a 1982, one of the last to be importedin Canada. It was sold new that year from an Italian car dealer in Ontario, and it'ssound system was upgraded to a separate amplifier and rear 6x9 speakers. It also had195-60R14 Pirelli radials (175-70R14 suggested by the manufacturer).
The rest was stock, which in the case of the 82 Zagato means 2.0L engine with fuel injection, alloy wheels (pictured to the left - I think these PFS wheels were the only stock wheels fitted at the factory; I have seen anything from Cromadora wheels to 16" Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 3 wheels fitted by owners), leather interior (I've yet to see an original leather interior that isn't either hard or with splits at the stitches), disc brakes all round, 5 speed manual transmission, ZF power rack and pinion steering, electric windows, center console, black targa top and black vinyl rear hood, vinyl boot (for the rear hood), adjustable steering, etc.
A few years later, the second owner bought it in Ottawa and eventually brought it back to Quebec. In 1995,the car was stored in a barn (!) mainly because the owner didn't know where to have itfixed. I rescued the car in 1996. It was in a sad shape. Now it's much better, butI'm not done yet! As your read this, the car is in Canada, and I'm in the US, so I'm notworking on it, but I hope to register it in the US pretty soon. I am planning toinstall Brembo discs and possibly changing the compression ratio. I will alsofinish fixing the inside door panels.
