Wow.. lighten up would you.. this is a very rare car, not mainstream and the vast majority of people (and lots of younger car fans) will never have heard of it. It wasn’t intended as a personal insult to those that do know about it!
200 ever made, rare alright.It’s a shame they don’t make cars like that anymore.Lancia were so innovative and ahead of the game.Loving the “Fredo vids.
@@Number27 anyone with any interest in rally will know about the 037, my grandmother is completely a non car person, she hasn't ever even driven. And she remembers the 037 and lancia in its hay day
The Lancia 037, a car you've never heard of... What! Probably the most beautiful and famous rally car from my childhood. It's like saying "Audi Quattro, nah, ever heard of it !
Wow what a unicorn of a car, you’re very lucky to see such a rare beast. Group B was a fantastic era of motorsport, something that we will never see again sadly. Those who have never seen Group B in action search here on TH-cam - it’s mind blowing! Thanks Jack 👍🏼
@@straightbusta2609 It was launched in that period; how could they be seen as used cars? This is a homologation special, expensive as fuck even for the period...
Love the way Jack pronounces the Italian names with the right amount of inflection & intonation in the accent. He may be British, but he's still Italian at heart.
Group B was utterly crazy. It always felt like a disaster waiting to happen and, of course, it eventually and tragically did. The cars that the class allowed were extraordinary in their day and, like the 037, are still awe inspiring. I was lucky enough to get to have a very short ride in ac 6R4 in the late eighties. Very, very scary. Mostly sideways and deafeningly loud.
I owned an 037... Pronounced oh 37...In 1999 for a couple of years before my 308. Certainly the best car I have ever owned and driven. Mine was number 34 of the 200 built. It is still in the UK, after I bought it from near to Venice.
The 037 was expensive back when it was launched. I've owned my '76 Scorpion since the '80s and is the closest I can get to owning an 037....and yes, I have heard of the 037 and the Stratos as well.
Anyone who bought Car magazine in the 80s would have been aware of the 037. There was one at the Shelsley Walsh hill climb a couple of years ago - fabulous thing!
Never seen a road going one but fortunate to see the Group B rally cars in action here in New Zealand back in the day. Great to see this example, pity you couldn't drive it but good to see the short drive clips
Really enjoy the content, keep up the good work! Whenever I see that “Bug eye” it take me back to my early ‘80’s college days and my ‘64 Triumph Spitfire Mk I.
To the MOT before he's tested its roadworthyness ? Afterwards and once passed would make more sence, but I accept he probably knows the cars and owners!
@@jeffskillman6161 an MOT is really just a general check over really, I suspect he has done enough work on it to know it’s in fine fettle. I’m not sure I’d be too happy if it was my car though.
My bugeye was in British racing green. It had oversized racing pistons, crankshaft, rods and pistons balanced, double row timing chain, ported and polished head with the camshaft bore linebored and fitted with bearings. At the time I could not get a 40DCOE side draught Weber and so settled for a 45 mm Weber DCOE that was jetted and choked to the minimum size available. It was a beautiful little car and only sold to finance my first home purchase. Your car brings back memories from almost fifty years ago.
I love that we are dealing with the same issue on our austin healeys with weber carbs. Reason I found your amazing channel. Can't wait to get my 63 healey running perfect
@@davedave1027 I take back that point looking back at it- however the 037 did outperform the quattro in group B, may be argued against due to lancia bending the rules a little. However the audi quattro make a ton of money for audi as for the production aspect.
I absolutely love these cars and at Castle came they have a rally event every year called rally day and at least two maybe three of them turn up in full rally trim and they’re just epic. Closest thing I could say you could relate it to would be an F 40 Ferrari. Just the rawness.
This is one of the best known Lancia rally cars and very successful in its time, the most famous was the Delta Integrale with 'I think' 9 World Rally Championships. .Fantastic cars, Bob
Love the look of these - as you say, not the most beautiful car, but like many rally cars of the era, it's beauty comes from it's brutal purity of purpose.
Aggressive elegance I like. Beautiful proportions. Your frog eye I love but I’d consider a ‘50s rather than ‘60s. - I know it continued until ‘61 but, as an eight year old, my friends big sister had one and it was definitely one of the first cars that sparked my interest. Cool back then but even cooler now.
I remember these..... just about! Good to see Freddo on a run. Haha, it has guages..... and as I would expect - just like my heap - they only work when they want!! Nice one Jack 😊👍
Dude, don’t ever show videos of you opening a lock-up with a car in it: some scumbag will know where it is, and I wouldn’t have broadcast MBG has got a half million quid Lancia in it either!
Still can't help laughing about bothering with a huge rear window and then blocking all vision with that ski-ramp ... ! 😂 Loved the leaf-collectors too ... 🤣
can't believe i missed this gem of an upload from you, thank you Jack!!! Don't go electric with the influ, hilarious moment in the austin with the truck in the rain, i swallowed my dunked rich tea whole in response. Good work A++
This, the F40 and 288GTO are my top 3 most favourite motorsport inspired cars of the 80s. No question, though, Lancia; the greatest rally cars of all time!
Love Lancia. When you first show the 037, just to the left, peeking out from behind the garage, looks to be the back end of a Fiat 128. I had one years ago and loved it. If you ever have the interest or the time, looking into the 128 might be very entertaining. Mine was the plain Jane 1300 two door sedan...for me the best configuration. In Europe they had the Rally version which was the hotter set up. My late night runs through the canyons of the Hollywood Hills in my 128 are some of my fondest automotive memories.
Al Cosentino of FAZA fame took me for a thrilling ride in his red 037. Parked in his garage next to it was his white Abarth Simca 2000! The 037 is quite an experience from the moment you open the door and drop into the seat through the roll cage. Of course the sound, acceleration and handling are great, but the braking is too, something you never read about. I think his car was the one tested in Road & Track. What a car!
How many of you had a chuckle when that lorry nailed you on wet drive.. Great video and really informative on the Lancia. I think the Monte Carlo could be a car for you Jack.
Wow WHAT A CAR! Looks like a real event driving it too 😀. Joe Macari had one for sale a while ago in a colour combination I've never seen before - blue with beige interior - looked absolutely amazing 🤩.
“An aggression with a bit of elegance to it.” Very articulate. Lancia Racing was on my RADAR as a kid when my German grandparents (rest their souls) bought me a die-cast Lancia Beta Turbo model in Alitalia colors. That waaaaaaas ‘83? ‘84? Great “review”!

Another idea maybe you and ratarossa could check out the "new" stratos with 430 mechanicals,? Beat wishes, Ben, 🇮🇹🇬🇧🐎🚍🚌😷
Oh yes forgot to say, Frogeye is lovely too. Now if we are going down the rally route how about x2 cars which briefly were "professionals", Tr7 and dolomite sprint dohc.?
Had one on a poster when I was kid, and have always loved these. Also crawled all over a replica (built on a Monte Carlo base) at local car show couple of weeks ago. Anyone who hasn't seen it should watch the top gear episode devoted to it - fantastic interview with Walter "it fits you so perfectly like my shoe...". He's a legend alright.

For me that honor goes to the Lancia Stratos.
Steady.
The Fulvia and the Stratos called, they want a word...
Look at the SHAPE of it.
They're just perfect. They really are something else.
Legendary for a reason.

I watched these live on Grandstand, when you could watch group B rallying on bbc tv!
Great days!!
