THE LANCIA STABLE


THE CAPE LANCIA CLUB
Located in the beautiful City of Cape Town	THE LANCIA STABLE

As at 3 December	The spares consortium will be known as "The Lancia Stable" A beautiful new location, on the slopes of the Tokai mountains on the Porter Estate has been sourced by the custodians of "The Lancia Stable". Chris Immelman, Phil Laing, Riaan Visser and JP van der Westhuizen are currently preparing the facility. The spares and cars have now all arrived, and the process of erecting shelving and sorting and packing of the spares is almost complete The old barn surrounded by 500acres of pristine mountainside and a stream is surely going to become a focal point around which many members will spend time restoring their cars or sourcing parts ..... or generally just having a good time. There is even an organic market every Saturday morning, and apart from the horses, sheep, peacocks, guinea fowl, parrotts, dogs, there are some el pacas (lama type animals) Membership to "The Lancia Stable" will involve an annual subscription for which the members will have access to: A 20% discount off the published parts pricelist (pricelist will be available soon on the website once everything has been catalogued) Sandblasting booth (for smallish components) Metal polishing facilities General workshop tools Workbenches Special Lancia tools as we acquire or manufacture them. (on a deposit and rental basis if they are removed from the stable) Access to the Lounge/pub and the library of technical manuals and magazines A full car lift is planned as and when funds allow. Members may also park a Lancia at the facility for a monthly fee if space allows We also plan to have regular get together's, braai's the first of which wa on on December 6th 2008, and Lancia events to which anyone interested in Lancia's will be welcome. The hours of operation are currently being planned, but it does appear with the interest shown so far that we will have sufficient members on opening to have the facility open every weekend both Saturday and Sunday. At present Phil spends every Sunday there and would welcome additional input and assistance in getting everything set up The subscription details and application form will be published here shortly. For any further information, please call Phil on 082 346 0127 or email him at lanciagarage@telkomsa.net 31 December 2008 I (Phil) have spent quite a bit of my time over the Holidays up at the barn sorting it so that it will be ready for use by members in the new year. Apart form quite extensive engine work on my 1600HF, I have set up designated work areas, and arranged tools logically so that everyone can find what they need when they need it. I am also planning to close off an area for body work and spray painting. (Volounteers to help with this would be appreciated) The Mechanical Section The Compressed Air section, for air tools, sandblasting and spray painting Metalwork Area, for welding, drilling and heavy mechanical work Polishing and grinding area Just to make sure that everyone see's what it takes to move everything, we have included some pics of the move.
