Lancia Motor Club

Hi All,

I got an email from the above saying the Lancia Club had a presence there. I can't see anything about it on this forum. Does anyone know anything about it?

Cheers
Dave

Work is underway on the show for next April, we are in discussion with the organisers, we will be putting some details on the forum, and VL very soon

Once again we have been invited to the London Classic Car Show, however the 2021 date and locations have been changed, due to Covid-19 which has had huge impact on the events industry and car shows alike, it now been moved to a later date in April and as an outside covered event, which fully Covid-19 compliant. This meets all the key government guidelines and will ensure from the outset that the event is safe for both visitors and exhibitors alike.

Next year we will have a special centenary display for the Lambda. The show organisers are keen to help celebrate this wonderful car and have given us a large stand for a number of Lambdas and other models through the years to be a real feature for the Lancia marque.

(There will be some information in the January VL)

2021 London Classic Car Show will take place at Syon Park from 16th - 18th April.

One week to go...

We have most of the cars here now, including eight Lambdas! Come along and see…

Lots of Lovely Lancias!

Splendid. Put on Facebook and Instagram. Sorry I cannot be with you.

Also very well lined up there :)

Added two pictures onto the LMC website news page - a real event happening !

Cars in motion too...

Can I just say a big thank you to the LMC Committee and all the LMC members involved in making the LMC stand at Syon Park so impressive. I may be a bit biased but it was the best car club stand at the event by far, with a wonderful range of Lancias on display in addition to the majestic Lambdas and the wonderful Theta, and very friendly Club members in attendance. Brilliant.

Michael, thanks for your kind feedback, it did take a little planning for the last year or longer, with dates and requirements shifting due to Covid restrictions was a challenge at times.  It was well worth it in the end, the members, the car owners and families made the event, without them we would have struggled to get the range of cars especially range of Lambdas, eight in all was an impressive sight along with all the other wonderful Lancia (22 cars over three days) 

We are not sure how we can match it next year!

It was great to watch Mike Benwell being interviewed by Tiff Needell. He explained the good and bad points of Lambdas with much enthusiasm! I hope we will be able to show the recording at the AGM.

Now there's a VL! cover picture if ever I saw one - well done Mike ! :)

a few more...  Mike was excellent a natural presenter!

I got home before the rain. Here's a photo of PO celebrating!

How very rude!

Article in Veloce Today does not even mention the LMC stand or Lambdas!

https://velocetoday.com/london-classic-car-show-2021/

But the article does say "Additional displays celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Bugatti Brescia, and the Lancia Lambda (to be featured in a later issue)", Brian.

Nolite desperare Lancisti!

I wrote to the magazine some months ago to advise him we would be attending the show with an interesting line up in the near future, he appeared interested in March. I sent him sample photos and some information after the show, but not heard anything since I was hoping to send him more information this week. Do we know Jonathan Sharp?

Here is a link to You Tube of a footage montage of the LCCS taken by LMC member Josh Goode from Berlinetta films.

Nice article now on the Veloce website. Looking forward to the v4 book also. Richard

And here is a link to the promised edition of Veloce Today showing Lancias at the London Classic Car Show 2021

A wonderful article and nice to see your Aprilia featured Cesare.

I'm a bit bewildered by the fabulous Dilambda racer being "similar to three factory race cars based on Lambda chassis" when the factory didn't do racing till after Vincenzo's death.

I think the comment was referring to the three 1928 Lambda Spiders built specifically for the Mille Miglia. We should have had a replica of one of these cars on the stand, non of the originals exist, but Covid restrictions prevented it from coming from Holland. It would have interesting to see the two side by side.

I was really interested in whether the 1928 Mille Miglia cars were really a "Factory Team" in the formal sense or privateers with factory support. If there was a formal factory team it's surprising there don't seem to be any promotional photos in circulation.
