Italian Job Series....

Just going through a few old photos, and thought you folks might like these...

I took part in an event last year called 'The Italian Job'... a touring rally which started in Turin finishing in Imola which spanned a couple of weeks - all in aid of a kids charity. Any vehicle is allowed to enter providing it was featured in the 1969 Italian Job film (i.e. Mini, Fiat 500s etc etc), modern counterparts are allowed (i.e. New MINIs).... but one team entered with this rather fantastic Landy...





I don't know much about it, just that it took them ages to get it up to standard and looking like the one used in the film, and the majority of parts had to be manufactured from scratch.
