You could save yourself £53 by buying the excellent book by Bruce Lindsay, LANCIA - 70 years of trailblazing.
It comes with a CD that contains hundreds of Lancia brochures from the very earliest cars including 10 DiLambda brochures of which the ebay one is included, upto the Fulvia and Flavia.
A brilliant book, still available from the club regalia at £75.

Just used said fantastic book to time line all Lancia models up to Fiat era.

That said there is not substitute for an original.

Tim.

Having just had a set of track rod ends made for Modestine at an eye watering cost I can just imagine the response I would get! :o

Ade.
 
The Linsay book is on the wanted list but I'm with Tim in that there is nothing quite like holding an original in your hands.

I do have an earlier Dilambda brochure in English.

Although the brochure is of no specific interest to me, its availability vindicates the existence of ebay. There is nothing like owning something original and 'in the old days before ebay', where would you have gone to find such a thing.
Congrats to the lucky buyer.

These things were either on sale at the likes of Beaulieu or big autojumbles or even at the Italian ones.

Just with the net....its all at your fingertips, doesn't guarantee a fair price at all, but you know its out there!

Plus in the past they would have been advertised in the LMC magazine or AutoItalia....and sometimes still are.

There was an Augusta brochure up too, but it didn't sell.

Heres a nice selection in this search.

I think you should bid on the brochure...... an Italian friend told me that one sold on the Viva-Lancia forum last year for 650euro!

Given their rarity....I assume, these don't come up often, then thats a pretty good price......
