Title: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: Flamfan on 08 November, 2018, 08:09:43 PM
Not sure if a similar thread has been done before, but please post any Lancia related pic that catches your eye regardless of model.
Here's an 037 for starters. 2 or is that 3 Martini's ?

Re. Cowhorn bumper Aurelia picture. Instantly reminds me of a Lowrie painting with matchstick people and  matchstick dog.
Is the side on black saloon an Aurelia saloon ? I'm being thrown by the horizontal lines / markings above the wheel arches .
Is that an Aprilia driving towards us ?

No colour for this one,  but a Flaminia demonstrates to a Mini how to drive in snow on the 1961 Monte Carlo Rally:

I keep an early Flaminia and managed to pick up a contemporary Lancia Flaminia sales brochure - best £40 spent this year. Of it's time it's very Lancia.
Most manufactures would reserve the front cover for the top of the model range. Not Lancia.
The front cover is light battleship grey. No car is shown. At first glance I thought I was looking at big black gates ? Then realized this was a fifties style
vertical black lines graphic idea. Maybe a street scene leading to cloisters or an approach road through an arched entrance ? No model preference here.
Apart from the golden Lancia badge everything is grey,black or white.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4890/44914778775_f826c0cc3b_b.jpg)

The largest part of the badge folds over to reveal a choice of saloon, PF coupe, Touring of Milan and Zagato designs. On a red background is a
brief summary of the late 50's Flaminia models.

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4906/45103357304_3cd051c1d8_b.jpg)

You pick the model required and turn to the appropriate double page. The left page shows a mixture of 50's style coloured drawings and the car's vital statistics.
The right page, depending on model, shows a picture / traced photo of the model. Above that is either a 50's style sketch or abstract style photo or drawing.
The back of the brochure shows side sketches of each model and underneath shows aerial viewed width measurements.

The brochure was created with much thought, precision, artistry and probably a tad over engineered. Can't quite think what that reminds me of ?  ::)
If anyone wants me to scan a particular Flaminia model please advise.

The Aurelia picture is called "1953-Sestriere-Rally-Aurelia", but no navigator.  Think the only route they ploughed was the correct one or was this a high speed special test like the laps of the Monaco GP circuit at the end of a Monte?

Lovely picture.

Very nice, but the car has been 'dropped' and the wheels look as if they
wouldn't clear the arches on full lock. Are they standard size for an Aurelia ?

Those Aurelia wheels have too many holes to be Technomagnesia I think and also wonder how you would fit air suspension to make sliding pillar suspension rise up.

The car in this picture looks to be a 5th series B20, with the standard wheel embellishers and screw on hubcaps.
However it appears that the wheels have been enlarged in size to give the tyres a low profile appearance, and then it has been lowered. I don't know where you got the photo from and I could be wrong, but it looks like Photoshop to me!
The Aurelia Tecnomagnesio wheels are shown in the photo below.


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: Flamfan on 02 December, 2018, 11:17:10 AM
Yep, definitely photo shopped ( not by me ) from a 2014 advert . I originally cropped out the showroom advertising in order to concentrate on the car's shape and the wheels.
I just Goggled cream Aurelia and found the same car on 'Bring a Trailer'. Same car in the same German garage standing in the same place with the same wall advertisements.

https://bringatrailer.com/2014/12/22/ex-monte-carlo-historic-1957-lancia-aurelia-b20-gt/

Looks like someone's been playing wish list Aurelia ? Looks great without the ' improvements ' to me.

Not sure where the wheels came from, but Longstone are offering these bi metal Borrani's for tubeless tires for Aurelia's and Flaminia. Still a brake vent hole short
of the 11 shown in the original picture, and rather costly.

Hello Flamfan,

As a former lorry driver i can inform you that the wheels are known as "split rims". The driver could change a tyre without having to lever the bead of a tyre over the rim, he merely separated the rim by undoing the nuts. Still heavy work but manageable. This type of wheel is still commonplace in Australia due to the arduous journeys undertaken. The nearest ATS could be 500 miles away or more!
Love this thread. Long may it continue.  ;D

Regards

Ian (6610)

Re Reply 45 and the subject of split rims on lorries, our vintage Morgan three wheeler has split rim wheels and they work beautifully except that they increase unsprung weight. Not much Lancia content in this note except the observation that the Morgan also has coil spring and sliding pillar front suspension. The Aprilia always gives it a nod of recognition when they pass.

That Augusta is rather special. Is there a story behind it, or did you just decide to jump off in the deep end ?


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: Mikenoangelo on 04 January, 2019, 08:22:18 PM
Yes - I'm very pleased with the car. I described how and why I bought it on the "Introductions" section of the private members area of the forum on Dec 1st. Four months of following up adverts on the Subito and other Italian web sites and getting information from vendors gave me a selection of cars which I thought worth  looking at and my son kindly went out in November to inspect and try three of them. He only managed to see two and this one seemed the better car for me as it had been owned by an enthusiast since 1981 and seemed a decent car, not just tarted up for sale. I bought it without actually seeing it myself so its arrival just before Christmas was just a bit exciting! Our assessment of it turned out to be pretty good from what I have seen so far, although I'll have to wait for it to be registered (and the salt goes from the roads) before I can really try it.

There is a Youtube video of the car from 2014 which shows it nicely, but turn the volume down at the start!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4QqDtb-SHQ

Quite by chance I found a picture if the car with favourable comments by Doug Blain, in "The Automobile" December issue which, by complete fluke, also includes a 1970's picture of my other car, a 1925 French Salmson owned by me since 1984, in a piece about Andy Nahum who owned it at the time. Both are together in my garage - just a pity the Augusta does not speak French.

My all time favourite picture of Modestine.

Le Mans 24hr 2007 and we were invited to participate in the Friday evening 'Cavalcade du Pilots' through the streets of Le Mans. We assembled for lunch just outside the town and returning to the car found  an artist, Jean-Marie Guivarc'h, sketching it with all the details to be reproduced as a print.  Somehow Margaret charmed him to sell her the drawing and she gave it to me on our wedding anniversary that year. The deal was that I copied it and sent it to Jean-Marie which I duly did.

I've checked his website from time to time but not found that he has produced the print.

The final picture is on the parade with a spectator wanting to have Margaret's hat!

Our 2nd Delta pictured 3 days after delivery. It came with a rather strange looking orange coachline
running above the handles and under the door glass. Not sure if this was 'factory' or maybe the
supplying dealer got artistic whilst waiting for new business ?
I've only just noticed a bullit hole above the front wheel arch just under the stripe ::)

Frank suggested that I recreate the pictures from my previous post with the grandchildren as they are now and old enough to drive the 'old girl.'

So, here they are. Seemed mean to leave out the 4th grandchild hence the extra picture.

And in case you're wondering, I was desperate for a grandchild and got 3 within a two week period! Beth and twin boys Jack and William. Molly came along a couple of years later.

You're both right ... it's from the 1981 film La Pelle ... set in wartime Naples. Here are some more stills of the Aprilia: https://www.imcdb.org/v302040.html (https://www.imcdb.org/v302040.html);  the film also included Ardea and Augusta.

The Vignale Appia makes me realise how good Lancia were with their styling. Very few bespoke coachbuilder versions look anything like as nice as the factory cars. I had to look twice to convince myself that the rear view of this car was anything other than a Trabant. :(

First run out after getting the UK registration for my Augusta.

Up to the top of Nidderdale and over into Wensleydale to call at Kilgram Bridge, a favorite spot of mine.
The bridge was built in about 1145AD by the Cistercian monks of Jervaulx Abbey and survives in remarkable condition. It was built using a stone flagged Roman causeway crossing the river Ure as foundations for the bridge, the structure of which can still be seen below the bridge.
 https://brigantesnation.com/kilgram-bridge-north-yorkshire

Oh and by the way the car runs very nicely (a relief as it was bought in Italy with little opportunity to test it). I am jolly pleased, and somewhat surprised by how well it motors - the engine is torquey, the crash gearbox very easy and the steering superb. The brakes are quite amazing for a car of that period.

Having recently sold a 20hp Rolls Royce I just need a flying lady to compete the view!

Thanks David - yes I had seen it as I have been Googling "Augusta" for the last 6 months and reading everything I could find including Morris Parry's brilliant Newsletter!

My run of 60 or so miles didn't show up any issues apart from a tendency for the engine to stall when braking to a standstill down hill. I think this is because the tickover mixture needs adjusting which can be done with an adjusting airbleed screw on the Weber 30DO so next time out I'll try that.

Overall it is a brilliant design with not one cm of space wasted and incredibly roomy even for a 6 footer like me, except that there is no room for the clutch foot when not being used. Perhaps six feet are too many :)

I've done a bit of flash with a long exposure and I don't think that entirely explains it. I seem to recall the exposure for flash was traditionally 1/25th of a second but the flash duration is only a few hundred thousandths of a second. The spot lights are the only thing bright enough to register outside of the flash duration but for a static shot they should spread right through the image both behind and in front of the frozen flash image. I suspect this is just a regular flash shot but panning with the camera moving very slightly faster than the Stratos is moving.

That makes sense. It was pretty dark that evening, the only guide was the spotlights on the cars coming through and, on a short stretch of road, there wasn't any time to track the car coming through. Point and hope!

The flash has fired and recorded the car, but the car is still moving forwards with the shutter still open, recording the lights. A faster shutter speed would cut down the amount the lights show.

I bought the Augusta to enjoy the Yorkshire Dales and had the first real run today to the top of Wharfedale and over to Hawes as a trial for the Beamish Run in June. Here we are above Oughtershaw with Ingleborough in the distance. Glad to report it ran perfectly. I've now done 250 miles since it arrived and it is just as I hoped - a jolly nice car.

It is not particularly fast up hills but the gear ratios are well chosen and with such a nice crash gearbox who needs synchromesh! Cornering and brakes means there is no question of holding up traffic on country roads.

You're right, David. I don't think I've ever seen a Fulvia engine/ gearbox in the back of a formula junior single seater of the period but they would seem a good tunable choice. The 1600 was in the Stratos Zero after all.

I wonder what that does to the toe-in - looks like it should increase it but does that help with cornering by putting more lock on the outer wheel?

That reminds me of a 1925 road test of  a Twin Cam Salmson which had Perrot brakes which are notorious for braking the inner wheel when cornering - the tester remarked that this helped with the cornering!!

Great photo though.

Hard to pinpoint. At first it looks like an old London area but there are the plates and I only recognise a Maxi and BMC 1100 in the background. Can't identify the others. Shame the graffiti on the wall is blurred. Might have given a clue. If I was offered one of the Lancia's would it be the coupe for elegance or the Sport for weirdness? Hard choice.

You could well be right.
I cropped my picture very slightly to concentrate on the two 'proper' cars in the photo.
The original image shows an angry looking ( Australian/ American style ) truck that I don't recognize.
Enlarging the image in 'Pictures' I would guess that the rear ends are left to right

Can anyone shed light on these images that I stumbled across ?

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/40832296523_485a758162_z.jpg)

Initially I thought the lady in the Flavia was asking the Miura driver to help her
reverse into one of the parking spaces - runs for cover.  ;D
But then I came across this. Still none the wiser.


(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47798427551_456f6e4b2e_z.jpg)

Okay I think the guy  is asking what to do as he has just filled the Miura up with diesel at the shell filling station

The Flavia and Miura appear on a thread from March 2018 here: http://www.lancisti.net/forum/showthread.php?10083-Flavia-photo-thread (http://www.lancisti.net/forum/showthread.php?10083-Flavia-photo-thread)
The poster says "Here's my mother's Flavia Coupé. These pics were taken in Italy in the late 60's. My father represented Marmitte Ansa in Belgium and such an exhaust is visible on the Lancia (not very well fixed I must admit..) The Miura was bought in Italy and later on sold to an American who crashed it somewhere in Nevada! "

I am busy translating internet articles from all over the place to unravel the mysteries of Lancia Ansaldo armoured cars in WW1. Fascinatingly the fuel tank was an upright cylinder in the middle of the fighting compartment that doubled up as a pedestal on which the commander or machine gunner in the upper turret stood! Talk about living dangerously. Picture courtesy of the Military Museum Lichkov.

Photo taken a few weeks ago end of Feb. in better times. What a difference a month makes. Forgive the artistic license with the flag - it was there in the background just asking to be photo-shopped a bit.

Unfortunately this was the 1st and last outing after a 3 year restoration of blood, sweat and tears. Sod's law that it's finally "all dressed up with nowhere to go".

I've tried to counter the boredom of the lock-down by dragging some of the restoration photos into a blog / website. It's work in progress, but hope it's of interest:

Not that it's good to have a broken leg, but if ever there was a time to have one it's now- it means that hopefully once this lock down is over it falls right in line with my recovery in early June and I can get out & drive my Fulvia once again.

They are showing some confidence in the door locks...

Which reminds me - one year at the Goodwood track day (1990something) someone turned up in a Flamina PF and staying in touch with the seat and close enough to the wheel were their main challenges.  It might be the journalist who in later years took on the scruffy Fulvia berlina.  Name escapes me.

I remember that Goodwood event. Martin Buckley was there and he was driving a Flaminia saloon. The Flaminia PF Coupe was owned a driven with gusto by my friend Simon Duval Smith. It was Simon who in recent years owned the Fulvia saloon KPD that I wrote about, and he is now associated the the 96 Club.

Seeing Colin's photo of the interior of my 3rd series B20 from the 2010 HSCC Silverstone Meeting made me recall that I actually built the car in the mid/late 90's to go long distance Classic Rallying. You can see that it still had the illuminated compass fitted to the top of the dashboard along with the Tripmaster clocks in the glove box.
I removed the lovely illuminated compass shortly afterwards as can be seen from the photo of the interior my car at the HSCC  Silverstone in 2013  which is offered on ebay by someone - who on earth would ever buy a photo like that and where's my commission ?.
The first event Alex (then 19yrs old at Uni) and I  entered (and the last!) was the 2000 Classic Marathon which started in Yper, Belgium and ended up in San Remo, Italy a few days later. The car went well, the driving was fun and the driver listened to the navigator .......but I didn't enjoy driving at speed on open roads, particularly as we witnessed a nasty, rather bloody  accident to an E tyoe which hit a small OM Truck head on up in the hills. We stopped to help them medically and to clear the road and when at the end of that day we asked at check-in for our 20 minutes delay back to maintain our then 2nd position in Class, we were told 'you shouldn't have stopped and  Force Majeure doesn't apply!.@
So in later in  2000 I changed certain things on the car and went on the circuits at Richard Thorne's suggestion and thoroughly enjoyed the following 18 years.

Hi All
Here's one from me when I took the car out last weekend - that's the new Severn Bridge and I'm parked on the old Aust Road ( where the ferry ran from ). It's a straight mile of road , usually quiet and ideal for a photo.

THE meridian runs through a particular telescope, but the one the OS uses is based on an older telescope next door as they've yet to update. Pretty much every other country in the world uses the new one.

There are also small satnav anomalies.

I am deep into researching the Lancia based World War 1 armoured car. In the process I visited the web site of the Henriques Museum in Trieste because they have the only complete original example that is known to exist. I also found this intriguing picture of a large aircraft being transported in bits to the museum with a familiar face in the middle of the line up of cars in the foreground.

The museum web site didn't give much detail. They found a set of photos in their archive from the 1950s but I have a feeling the aircraft didn't remain in the museum collection so up to date details aren't available. I presume it was Italian and the only description was "Tri-motor". It has taken a bit of finding but I think it's a VAR.SM.82 heavy bomber / transport plane.

One of those silly things popped up on my computer news feeds today. "What car would Guy Fawkes drive?" Among the Renault Fuegos and Golf Matches was, of course, a Y10 Fire. Whilst not actually a car my favorite was probably the Guy 'Otter.

The Beta because I've had it for so long (28 years) and done so much to it. It's the only one that I'd never sell. Here are some more pics of it (and more) at the NEC show in 2017: https://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=9298.0

I still can't believe that Fulvietta didn't get signed off into production, it still just looks right, would have been a huge success and who knows, may have even been a turning point...


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: frankxhv773t on 08 December, 2020, 11:06:56 AM
I thought we were told at the 100th in Turin that it was on an effectively obsolete floor pan so there never was any prospect of signing it off into producing. It might also have required a re-imagining of brand identities within the Fiat Group to restore a sports car to the Lancia lineup.


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: nthomas1 on 08 December, 2020, 11:57:01 AM
At the 2018 AGM Paolo Buffardi gave a very interesting talk on the Fulvietta.  He was an executive in Product Planning at Lancia and was responsible for the Fulvietta project.  He explained with detailed backup how the car would never have been profitable.  The production costs, purchased parts and tooling amortisation could never have been recovered given the projected sales volume.  A pity, as it was a very appealing concept!


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: Kevinlincs on 08 December, 2020, 10:37:48 PM
Was it not using part of the Punto floorpan?
Guess at the time it was before the new Fiat 500 and Mini had shown there was a market for retro inspired reimaginations, not that I'd expect it to even approach the sales levels of either car but surely it would have sold better than they hoped?
It just looked so right, would have been high on my shopping list that's for sure.


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: sparehead3 on 09 December, 2020, 03:39:07 PM
Hi Norm, I remember that talk and you're right it was really interesting and was a head not heart discussion. I hold out for an Fulvielec - fast, light weight , low centre of gravity and same size it was - and electric of course :)


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: frankxhv773t on 10 December, 2020, 10:20:32 AM
Kevin, it probably wasn't the lack of a demonstrated retro market because the Mini had been in production for two years and both the Rover 75 and Jaguar s type preceded it by five years.

Knowing Fiat/Lancia they probably misunderstood the Market and got the sums wrong, most people wouldn't have bought it with their head, they'd have bought it with their hearts, something Fiat at the time never seemed to understand.
I know id have bent over backwards to buy one!

I'd be on one in a heartbeat too, very much a missed opportunity whatever the figures may have said.
I feel Alfa are at a dangerous point in their existence at the moment, in my opinion.
I have been buying their products for a number of years now as daily drivers, usually 6 or 7 year old cars so not within their view really as to what sells.
But the way cars are going with automatic being the only choice, as good as they may be they do nothing for me as a drivers car. So once my Giuletta gets changed for one of the last I'll be looking elsewhere.
Hopefully by then a fleet of Lancia to use in rotation  8)

The Alfa Stelvio is a fab thing - it puts the S into SUV.  I am told that the saloon car is good, but I do not like its rather brutal looks.

The Fiat 124 MX5 was a bit disappointing.


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: Kevinlincs on 11 December, 2020, 01:35:50 PM
They may well be capable and I'm sure compared to most modern stuff they are, but I'm from a different era, ex rally driver so I am used to changing the attitude and pitch of the car on the throttle, something every auto I've driven seems incapable of doing. Maybe the newer stuff is better, but being able to instantly tighten the line mid corner seems something not programmed into the set parameters of the modern auto gearbox cars. May be great for relaxed driving and I'm sure very good at what it is designed to do but it doesn't float my boat any.
I'll probably get a Fiat for daily once Giulietta gets too old, assuming we have fuel by then still!


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day
Post by: rikardo on 13 December, 2020, 04:23:06 PM
Continuing briefly with the Alfa theme. Its a 10 year old car now, but a 159 in TI spec with the 1750tbi petrol engine is a peach. And the "new" Giulia in Veloce spec with the Performance Pack (column-mounted paddle shift, LSD and uprated brakes) is definitely a good drive. Its a pity the UK only gets the auto, the rest of Europe gets the option of manual transmission but is of course LHD.
Anyways, back on topic. I too wouldve gone for the Fulvietta in a heart-beat, even if I had to sell the Delta!

I imagine this picture is well known by the Aprilia cogoscenti but I hadn't seen it until this morning.  I was researching Lancia's history in the Targa Florio when I came across it. 

It shows the Aprilia of Franco Piccinini and Giannino Marzotto behind the 1948 race winning Ferrari 166S of Clement Biondotto and "Igor" Troubetzkoy.  The Aprilia finished 8th overall and 3rd in the Touring category, 2nd in the 1101-1500 sub class.

Some pictures really jump off the page for me and this was one of them!

I love that!  Futurist artists did some wonderful paintings of cars and aeroplanes (it's a pity that some of the artists were dreadful Fascists, oops).  There's a great futurist painting of (IIRC) a 1920s or 30s Bugatti on the main staircase at the RAC in Pall Mall.  I will try to get a photo when next there.

I just came across this picture while Googling "Lancia Liverpool".  It is described as a 1920s picture of the Liverpool to Blackpool Charabanc Service operated by Lancia Silver.  There is no other information.  It certainly looks like a Lambda or similar.

I love the driver's fag, bolted to his lip.

The passengers and people standing around look like a bunch of organised crime goons taking their moms on a jolly.  The driver looks a bit tasty.  His job description may say driver/henchman.   You don't want him calling on you for that ten bob you owe the guy standing next to him.


Title: Re: Lancia Picture of the day

The most probable chassis for a charabanc (without external gear lever) would be something like a Pentaiota. Bus chassis was a major part of Lancia's UK business at that time.

Cheers, Tim!  After the photo session, the three of us dined well at a pleasant Italian restaurant close by, and shared part of a bottle of Sangiovese di Toscana (leaving quite a bit in the bottle as a tip for the young Venetian waiter, as we had to drive after dinner).  The cobbles are in the wide high street of Thame, Oxfordshire.  The pub visited earlier is the Lions at Bledlow, in Buckinghamshire.

Poetic licence here, but the thread is "Lancia picture of the day" after all....

I bought a couple of old newspaper advert cuttings off the usual website that we tend to trawl through for stuff we really don't need yet seem to buy anyway!
Had them for a while actually.
Finally bought frames to mount them.

This one though I just love, it's more a torquise colour in the flesh, very stylish advert.

Another rural Appia, but this one isn't at work.
