My LIDO?? was created by Paul Belcher
A couple of pics of my beloved but very troublesome x19 from back in 1982.
Would be interested if anyone out there knows of the car after or before I owned it.
I bought this car in 1982 from a dodgy garage in Hook, Hampshire. It was sold as a Lido, but I am not too sure as it had no badge on the boot, but the interior was all correct. They sold one exactly the same with the same CLM number plate just before I bought mine. So not sure whether it was a true Lido or just a 1300 resprayed and Lido interior fitted.
It looked good though, but was so unreliable. Head gasket even blew driving back from the garage! I loved it though and would love another 1 day.

The bumpers are wrong they should be chrome, but the reg plate is the correct year there should have been a lido number on the passenger front wing,
The wheels should have been 3 spoke cromadora alloys.

Thanks for the info.
Not surprised that it was scrapped, was in a sorry state when I sold it.
I think the wheels were from a Lancia Monte Carlo.
There was no Lido number on the wing, but the interior was spot on for a Lido.
