Title: Dilambda Flying Star
Post by: Sebastien on 17 October, 2016, 06:43:32 PM
On a visit at Pantheon near Basel on the way to the Sliding Pillar 2015 in Alsace, I saw in a dusty corner in the basement this car, with what I thought a nice replica body, that suits the Dilambda chassis very well.

The initial design by Touring had been on an Isotta-Fraschini of even bigger proportions, and I think won a first price then at Villa d'Este concours.

This car was sold at Bonhams not many years ago:

Does anyone have any more information regarding its previous history (the museum where it was exhibited, the shop that did the transformation) or its current owner?

I hope that we shall see that car on the road soon, it would be nice to see another Dilambda at a Sliding Pillar meeting!
