You never saw what this machine could do until you saw it in full flight on the back roads of Kenya way back during the good old days of the Safari Rally.

HF means high fidelity, and was a Lancia owners club or program that reward the most loyal customers with a lots of things like reserved invitation at the new car's presentations all offered by lancia and a series of premium services. You can enter in that club buying at least 6 new cars for yourself or your family, and inside there was a sort of division in tier, with the top tear (which gave the right to the golden hi-fi Lancia badge) at 50 cars. The club was born in the 1960 at the Geneva motor show, and was founded for the purpose of: "Lancia Hi-Fi ideally brings together all motorists who have demonstrated a particular loyalty to Lancia over time. Its purpose is to strengthen the bonds of sympathy and cordiality between members and Lancia".

Thats fantastic. John Campion's hero was Cork's famous rally driver Billy Coleman. Billy famously campaigned a private Stratos (owned by Graham Warner - Chequered Flag) in the UK during the late '70s. The car had been crashed and rebuilt so many times - without any support from Lancia - and still remained competitive, a testament to the strength of that chassis. RIP John.

[@gregorypease213]

That Stratos is one of the sexiest cars ever designed. I've always found them fascinating, and having the opportunity for a virtual ride in one is a real treat.

I have loved these cars since they came out. Bought a model kit of it in the 70's that I haven't even opened. These cars have been on my mind a lot lately and then boom! The video. Thanks Jay! This is a huge treat!

Jay being great as always. Nothing like hearing him speak over a V6 reving to 6000 RPM.

"So... how many headlights you want on this thing?" "All of them, thanks!"

[@elvistwatty]

Need them when you do rally stages at night

That chuckle on, "Synchromesh even in first gear!" magic... Great car. Great video. We're grateful for the vicarious pleasures of your obvious passion, especially in these challenging times. Once again, well done Jay!

I've watched this so many times, this is my favorite episode of Jay Leno's garage and my favorite car
