It is the Lambda owned and raced by the late John Vessey, who died recently. Here are some photos of it at the LMC AGM in 1980.

Thanks for the replies, I have updated the Lancisti thread, out of interest was John the creator or did he buy it as is?

He was the creator - and very good it was, too! All Lambda owners will miss John.
Regards, John

This is another picture of it on the 2012 Sliding Pillar Rally. John is in the passenger seat.
