Title: Lancias (include Aprilias) in Poland before II WW Post by: MaciekPeda on 02 February, 2014, 01:26:12 PM Hi everyone !
Last i was found some prewar photos about motorsport in Poland. Among others there was three pictures Lancia related. All of those pictures are related with Ripper family from Cracow. This family was very strong connected with cars. Wilhelm Ripper - senior - was a businessman from a motorcar branch. He own Lancia Lambda and was started with this car in Monte Carlo rally in 1928 - see photo 1. Jan Ripper - junior was a best Polish Bugatti driver, but he own too two Aprilias as seen in photo 2 (taken inJune 1939) and 3 (taken in 1938) Best regards from Poland Maciek Title: Re: Lancias (include Aprilias) in Poland before II WW Post by: Parisien on 02 February, 2014, 02:29:13 PM Wonderful nostalgic Maciek, great fur finished coats being worn in first pic!
Any of the cars survived over the passing decades or just the photos? P Title: Re: Lancias (include Aprilias) in Poland before II WW Post by: brian on 02 February, 2014, 02:43:03 PM Wonderful pictures.
A question to all.... The "Aprilia" script on the grill. Was it just lussos or can any of us have one? Love it.

Sadly, all of those cars don't survived...

Any of the cars survived over the passing decades or just the photos? P It's not just the coats Frank!! Off on the Monte Carlo wearing not only collar and tie, but also spats ... brilliant. A real gentleman driver event. Andy Title: Re: Lancias (include Aprilias) in Poland before II WW Post by: tzf60 on 03 February, 2014, 09:15:27 AM I see a windscreen heater on the 2nd Aprilia pic. A pre-req for the Monte Carlo, I'd imagine.
