JWF Italia.

Just have to show you this. Ellis French took these shots of a really great grey engined Tassie Italia. They've got some wonderful Aussie sporties down there.
Allan Hanns had an Italia. I wonder what became of that.

An amazing set up with one throat of each Weber in use.
I also wonder what happened to my green Italia - I heard it run up the back of a police car.if you remember JL was registered as a Milano but definitely an Italia. Well presented special but the Skoda diff made it too low geared. Col

Refer to blog post dated Monday, August 24, 2009. Not a lot has changed since then except that Matt, from Eudunda, has handed the car over to his dad, who lives down Clarendon way I think, to finish its restoration.

anonymous . i have just purchased a jwf italia in qld & it has some green paint remnants on it . it could be yours .It is in very poor condition & actually has some damage on the front panel support steelwork that fibreglassed to the onderside of the bonnet. It has a singer underslung chassis with early holden diff. i cannot find any chassis numbers on it yet . if you have previous rego number or details it would be much appreciated. Any info would be great please contact me on icw.63@live.com

Two different cars, Ian. The one mentioned is highly modified (in fact it would be hard to recognise it as an Italia) and it's still in SA.
