very nice pics!! You can be proud of the result of your replica.

Did you finish well in the rally? Where are you living exactely?

[lele felix]

In fact we are very proud of the done work!
We have found some buyers, but we do not want to sell our Ritmo.
In the competition have arrived 6th of gr.2/3...but it was very better possible to do .... Have had many problems with the brakes, then downhill have very softly gone! then we have run under the rain with pneumatic slik!
We live in Bergamo .... At 50 km to Milan.

I asked where you live because the Ritmo club of france is doiing a meeting at Beaune (around 600 km from Bergamo, I checked it) the weekend of 28 october with a sunday run at the track of Pouilly. If you are interested to go there I can arrange some things for you. Let me know. I think they would be delighted to see your Ritmo!

[lele felix]

thank you, you are very kind to call me this.
Now cannot answer why to beginning of November probably I will run in the "Rally-Ronde Città dei Mille" with our Lancia Delta Integrale, and this will keep me very engaged in the next few weeks as I must work very much at the car ( shock-absorbers, brakes, etcetera ).
However I promise you that I let you know my availability for that event.
Thanks a lot of.
Gabriele.

Hi Vlasi,
I am very sorry but we will be very engaged in the next few days with the job.
Unfortunately we cannot participate.
We are very sorry because this is a very beautiful event ...
We hope to be able to come next time.

A friend of mine gave me the url of a great raceclip. It is 1979 during the Giro d'Italia. You will find three Ritmo 75 gr.2 on the video. One of them is the Giro d'italia Ritmo with Bettega on the wheel, subject of this topic. The others are from the private teams "River team" and "Blue team". Authentic stuff giving me the thrils!! On top of that you see marvelous pictures of some Stratos and a beautifull Beta Monte Carlo. Enjoy!!
