Title: For Sale Post by: Dilambdaman on 12 February, 2018, 04:53:32 PM For sale: Dilambda part restored - loads of spares including 2 engines! chassis etc.
I believe the vendor wants 300,000 euros! 50-100k to finish to the present standard of work? Could face a long wait for a sale. https://www.prewarcar.com/231064-lancia-dilambda-1932-for-sale Robin Title: Re: For Sale Post by: davidwheeler on 15 February, 2018, 09:27:43 AM Not a bad price for a brace of Dilambdas I would think? I would be tempted to go down the Weymann route and cover in fabric. Dream on though I have nowhere near enough money!

Title: Re: For Sale Post by: davidwheeler on 19 February, 2018, 02:01:07 PM I use vinyl which is nearly as good and a lot cheaper! You cannot paint it like you can Rexine though. Boot's alter ego, Mike Benwell's Weymann saloon is still in its original Rexine I think.

j Title: Re: For Sale Post by: williamcorke on 07 March, 2018, 11:01:27 AM Idly wondering about Rexine, I found a site in India with various manufacturers selling it for £1-2 per meter (100-200 Rupees). Not sure about minimum quantities but that's cheap!
