A great event, as usual. The venue was superb, although the service could have been a bit faster. Thanks to all of the organisers, especially Eduard, Jan and Andrew.

As promised here are some more pictures from the event, first a couple of general shots of the courtyard of the Castle Fort Sedan and one of the Fort taken from a hillside seveal miles away, I hope this gives a feel for the size of the place..... HUGE!
There were over 130 people at the event, which had entrants from 12 different countries including 2 teams from USA and 4 teams from Australia, which goes to prove this is now the premier worldwide event for older Lancias.

Aurelias, the pale blue B20 is one of the Basso built lightweight replicas (mentioned elsewhere on the Forum)
A couple of photos of my late B50 Cabriolet alongside Sebastien Simon's early dark red car. Note the differences in frontal treatment and the different shape of the rear end and boot lid. Having said they are early and late cars there is in fact only one year between them!
Following a B20 and B12
On Saturday eventing Geoffrey Goldberg (USA) gave a presentation on his forthcoming book, the history of Francesco de Virgilio,
a fasinating insight into the man, and his ties with the Lancia family.

Two of the five Aurelia B24 on the rally.
Wim Oude Weernink's Appia Camioncino with an Aprilia that was voted the best Lancia Sedan in Sedan.
Another very rare car, Toon Van Hoorick's Fanalone in it's original colour Rosso di melanzane (Aubergine)

I like the earlier rear and the later front of the B50's. When I first read your post Ade I thought the reference to late meant you had sold it!!!

PS Did the good Doctor and his Montecarlo make it???

Brilliant stuff...one day, one day...
Interesting how easily I spot them now - any more pictures or information about the Flavia Sport?
I hope all the non sliding pillar cars brought sick notes for their garage mates.

A really enjoyable SPR and a huge range of interesting vehicles. Some great locations as well - here's some 'TV Parking' right outside our lunch restaurant. An exciting route to get there over well chosen roads, and Bouillon is a charming town, well worth a visit

And one more from me - a selection of Aurelias. A big thank you to all the organisers - to Eduard, Jan and Andrew and their teams and of course to Toon for the excellent Tulip routes. The use of the Sedan hotel/castle was inspired and as the whole hotel was booked the courtyard had a special atmosphere as it was full of our cars. The locations we visited were attractive, with good food ( lots of it) and great scenery. The SPR now is a huge international event and this year's was one of the very best. A very enjoyable weekend - thank you!

Also from me - a big thank you to the organisers, who made it a most enjoyable week-end. The mix of participants and cars was overwhelming, and time passed away too quickly.
Some photos of prewar cars to complete what has been shown before: the special bodied Augustas (or Belnas?) were nice, Don Williamson's Artena was going well, but most interesting car to me that week-end was the Lancia Lambda from the 1929 Mille Miglia.

That MM Lambda photo shows an exhaust bypass valve. How common were those on Lambdas?

The exhaust cut-out were standard, even on a coachbuilt Lambda saloon!  To get a bit more power when climbing alpine passes - there are quite a few descriptions in literature of more pedestrian cars climbing slowly up, and being overtaken by a roaring Lambda!! There is an early version, in aluminum, very fragile, and two later versions, from the 7th series onwards, in cast iron, as fitted to the MM car. |
