Title: Re: LHD Lambda for sale Post by: johnturner on 20 November, 2011, 04:08:26 PM I reckon a good number of left hand drive cars were produced, the parts catalogue lists it as routine, though it is a bit of a bodge with the steering box wedged in behind the magneto. Interestingly Vincenzo drove a LHD Lambda saloon as his daily car until the very end so clearly approved, though as far as I know LHD was never offered as an option on the Dilambda, Augusta or Astura. But I do recall seeing a LHD Aprilia somewhere.

I rescued a 1929 platform chassis from Croatia some years ago which only had the casting on the left, I sold it to Switzerland. I have only seen one lhd which could be the one for sale.
