Jack Romano, Editor of Viva Lancia - The Magazine of Lancia Motor Club UK & reknowned Gamma Man met with Aldo Broverone, famous Pininfarina Designer of Ferrari Models & OF COURSE - Lancia Gamma Coupe. They spent quite some time together, in Torino in mid-1999. UK-born Jack speaking his best Italian; Torino-born Aldo speaking some English.
At least that is what Jack wrote in a long report of their time together & some of the various topics they covered; including...of course...Aldo's Very Polite Praise of his Design of the...what else?...Gamma Coupe, of course.
I read the report of this Wonderful Meeting this Evening; having just received 10+ years of Viva-Lancia from Gamma Rene of Bern..... Thank you Jack, thank you Aldo, thank you Rene
Aldo also spoke of Auto Designs of other Designers that he has worked with & known over his 40+ year Career.
He didn't speak highly of all the Designs he has seen (z.b. Audi TT 1) ...which is not a surprise!
Some other Designs he loved, not only his own.
He did have this to say about ... Fulvia Sport ... (what else?)... Designer... Ercole Spada ... of Zagato !
ALDOS WORDS
" ERCOLE SPADA AGAIN ! YOU CAN'T FAULT HIM, NOT A LINE OUT OF PLACE. WHAT A LOVELY CAR. NOW THAT IS WHAT LANCIA ARE ALL ABOUT".
I am happy, knowing myself, all these years, that Aldo & I agree
As you may have noticed, I did not try to translate any of this little blurb into Italian o. Deutsch) !!!
