SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - From early July this website will close, if you wish to dowload or save the content do so now. Thanks for all your kind advice and coments over the past 12 years, Noel.
My Lancia Aprilia was restored in England. Restoration began on 2nd October 1990 and finished on 14th May 1993.
When I bought the car in 2006 it came with all the original invoices from the two restoration companies. They include, in various detail, the work performed and a summary of the expenses. The total hours were 3142 and final cost was £65,455. Let’s see where and what happened.
