...how reliable are these Lancias?

Still laughing about that one!!

Bog-standard Lancias brand-new are a reliability nightmare, a highly-tuned, low-volume specilist version brings me out in a cold sweat..........

Ask Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) he's a petrolhead to the core, but he has made a good living over the years writing articles about how often his Integrale has let him down.

Makes his other love (Aston-Martins) look like paragons of reliability

The four-wheel-drive unit should be OK though, it's a proper FF Developments one with the critical 37:63 torque-split.

Someone once said that the design philosophy of Lancias was to never adopt a simple solution when a very complicated one will do.

Pretty well sums it up.
