Looks fabulous, any better pictures out there?

Who is this Plotnikoff? The surname is surely Russian - an immigrant? What were his other works if any?

It's just a play on words.
When someone has rather lost direction we say they've "lost the plot".
Since the car was by a Mr Plotnikoff it was just a play on his name..

faksta · January 10, 2012, 08:02:56 AM

Aaah..got it now. I knew the phrase, but just did not associate it with the surname

SACO, thanks for the pictures!

As this is a black+white pic everybody says: wow, what a cool conversion!
If this would happen today and there would be a color pic instead they would yell: what a sacrilege to convert a unique bodied Lancia into an oik's car.

faksta · January 10, 2012, 12:28:21 PM

How right you are!

barrett · January 10, 2012, 12:41:11 PM

Allemano, very true! At first I thought it was a great looking little car.... then when I saw it was based on an Aurelia I was a little surprised.... when I saw it was based on a custom Pininfarina bodied Aurelia I was slightly disappointed... But I still think it is nice enough looking not to feel too guilty about that.
I hope no one would be stupid enough to cut up an Aurelia to create a special in 2011, but far more heinous crimes have been committed by so-called 'enthusiasts' on even rarer and more desirable cars...

Allemano · January 10, 2012, 12:54:02 PM

Don't get me wrong – I like it, too.
