Title: Underbonnet shots
Post by: DavidLaver on 19 August, 2010, 09:44:04 AM

Inspired by a shot of FAY sans airbox how about a run of underbonnet photos?  My offering isn't as good as remembered - hopefully better will turn up but to get the ball rolling here's my (sadly now departed) Aurelia GT2500.

This is starting to look like an Aurelia only section!! I have posted some pics of the engine of the B50 before, ( see them on http://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1708.0;attach=5267;image ) so here are some others, starting with Fulvia 1.6 Hf ex-works and LC2

and here are a couple of Lambds engines, early type and late type

and just so that we can have all the Aurelia variants, here's one of my old B24 Convertible

This is an early Aprilia engine.

Appia - not my photo - from a "for sale" some time back.

Does any other car have a side hinge bonnet?   My pics from the 2009 AGM.

Monte Carlo, although I suppose technically it's a boot lid....

Post by: DavidLaver on 22 August, 2010, 11:00:03 AM

My Monte shot doesn't really do it justice.  But looking for it I found another nice Fulvia Zagato.  It reminds me rather of a grand piano.  Why don't more do the same?   With our cars I'm forever leaning in from the side and rarely from the front.  Anyone got/had one and had a problem with a side hinge?

Here's an upskirt shot taken last year of my pride and joy with her side-hinged bonnet.  ;D

Big Bertha sure knows how to show off her intercoolers. (S4 Turin 2006)

Even the dog (middle left) looks interested.  :D

Here's one of my 8.32.

Hopefully it'll attach ???

David

The Bristol 401 (Touring) went one better, by having a bonnet hinged on both sides, so you could choose from which side to access the engine bay.  Really an evolution of the pre-war style of bonnet with a piano hinge in the centre...

And then there's this.  Who knows what it is?

A Triumph of some description I think?

Indeed.  The TRX 'Bullet' Roadster
http://www.kdb38.dial.pipex.com/roadster/roads6.htm

A lot more forward looking in styling terms than the TRs that followed it.

What a coincidence, I've been having a look at this today in the Museum at Gaydon, while at the AutoItalia day, very smart.

And a Nuovo Delta turbo diesel I was privileged to test drive in South Africa in 2008.  (Note disguise striping - at the time Lancia flatly denied there was any testing going on.)

Here's one of a woman's Fulvia - Carol's "Tigger".  The singing and dancing deedle-dude mascot is strategically placed to distract concours judges from the underbonnet paintwork.  ;D

The nearby red ID plate shows that Tigger was assembled in South Africa by Daihatsu.

The Voboril Kappa torpedo taken in Turin 1981. (I believe he cast new pistons for it when it was rebuilt around then.)

Group 5 Montecarlo No. 6 taken at the Kyalami 9 hour endurance race in 1981.

The colour code on the HT leads is interesting.  I also love that style of fuel hose, and the way the metal (copper?) pipes are jointed downstream.

Now when did proper air filters appear on front line racing cars...  Those might keep cats out but not the mice.

Have been loving the others as well...  In particular the HUGE intercoolers.

Keeping up with these high standards is hard work.

1) Aurelia prototype 538 engine in an Aprilia, a reinstallation of what was done in 1946....
2) D24 motor
3) Aprilia Nardi setup

...am feeling spoilt...

What a car that V6 Aprilia must have been.

Thanks Brian, that's wonderful, and gives me a good point of departure to find something.

A shot of the D25 on the Lancia Club France stand at Retromobile (Paris) in January.

That's a surprisingly bright red.  Nice shot of the chassis tubing - with water flowing through that big crossmember at the front.  All sorts of odds and ends I can't understand in the far right corner by the coil. No idea what that flap is for front right either.

Lancia invented the F duct long before McLaren.  ;D

This car is in the Mondello Park (racing track) museum. Since this photos been taken, the engine has been rebuilt and the car is ready for the road.

I've always liked the cooling gills in the wheel arches.  Mine had had one removed and two bent to give access either to the exhaust manifold or the engine mounts or something.

Do Appias and Flaminas have them as well?

David


Title: Re: Underbonnet shots
Post by: the.cern on 08 September, 2010, 06:10:26 PM
Yet another accolade for the Aurelia, the gills of a shark are modelled on the inner wheel arch louvres !!  It's odd, but I  think those louvres really do look menacing ................. or am I paranoid !!!!

You are quite correct - at least in that they look menacing - really not sure if the Aurelia came before the shark.
