Parquet flooring in the Lancia Museum
Many moons back we acquired some dozen's of bags with old parquet flooring. Now that the building operations are coming to an end, those bags were still standing around. Originally we had planned to find sponsors to tile the museums floor, but that never saw the light of day. So why not using the wooden floor that is already there ? Furthermore, wood is warm and soft, and you can safety drop a hammer. So we put it all down now, and I am very happy about it.
Fitting a floor also forces you to uplift all the rubbish that has accumulated over the years. In the end the place had degenerated to a storage for old cardboard boxes. In the process, we also revived 2 of my oldest vehicles, the Fulvia Sport and the 2000HF . They had no started in 5 10 and 5 years respectively. I am very happy they came back to live fairly easily, the fuel injection car being much easier, once it starts it runs smooth, while the Fulvia carburetors are not that well as expected. Please enjoy the photos underneath. A big thank you to my family who made a joint effort to make it happen.
