Title: Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017
Post by: Sliding Pillar on 28 June, 2017, 06:46:51 PM
There are a good selection of Lancias at Goodwood FoS this year.
The Rally stage has Fulvia Stratos 037 Delta S4 and integrale.
There are also LC1 and LC2, but my favorites have to be the D50.
Photos below show the Lancia D50 and Lancia-Ferrari D50A, note the differences in length of nose cone and the flared in pontoon tanks on the D50A.
Also the integrale on the Martini stand.

Strange that the D50 is wearing Ferrari shields when they had no input into it apart from being gifted the cars. It would have been better to have left it as an original Lancia team car.

Way back about 15 years or so ago Gus Mckay arranged a trip for the Thema Consortium as it was then and other lmc members got an invite to Jim Stokes Workshop to have a look around, at the time they were bodying this version, but we were sworn to secrecy as it wasn't common knowledge at the time.
I'll see if I can find the photos I took at the time.
At the time they were manufacturing replica Alfa straight 8 engines, so the owners didn't have to worry about blowing up the originals racing.!
You're right though, if anything Ferrari messed about with the D50, such as the lengthened nose and filling in the gap between the saddle tanks, which did nothing for the car, and certainly didn't help it win.

At the time the "new" D50s were made there were 6 clients.
2 insisted that their cars had the Ferrari spec, but only one was supposed to get it, then there was a big legal battle...Not saying who they were.
The other four stayed Lancia D50 spec.
