Title: How much Lancia in an Alfa 155 Q4? Post by: DavidLaver on 16 April, 2023, 06:36:16 PM As seen at the Duxford today. Not a car I'd heard of but mentioned in hushed tones by many.

Post by: Kevinlincs on 16 April, 2023, 06:58:23 PM Engine and gearbox are basically from the 16v integrale, as for what else I'm not sure there is a lot of shared parts as the 155 has more in common with the Dedra than Delta, not sure what subframe/suspension it has although the Delta and 155 in regular trim are vastly different.
Saw that myself, a rare car over here. Title: Re: How much Lancia in an Alfa 155 Q4? Post by: rikardo on 16 April, 2023, 08:31:16 PM Or, to put it another way, how much Alfa is in a Dedra integrale?
Well, its the same Tipo floor-pan, as shared with the Lancia Delta 2. Theyre both/all left-hand-drive only. However, the Dedra integrale uses an 8V cat Delta integrale engine and drive-train, so 56/44 front/rear drive split. As to whether this (cat engine) applies to the Alfa, I dont know. The Dedra integrale has a user-engaged rear locking differential (for those tricky ice and snow covered hills and starts!). Interior trim is pre-cat Evo Delta integrale (Alcantara) while instrumentation etc is obviously Dedra. Exterior is much like Dedra turbo (as found in right-hand-drive), but with some unique options, eg, rear screen wash-wipe. That pretty much sums it up. Title: Re: How much Lancia in an Alfa 155 Q4? Post by: DavidLaver on 17 April, 2023, 08:54:36 PM I also overheard much amazement at a Dedra being retrimmed, and how there MIGHT be some precious material left over. Who could they have been talking about ;) Title: Re: How much Lancia in an Alfa 155 Q4? Post by: DavidLaver on 17 April, 2023, 10:24:28 PM https://photos.app.goo.gl/u3qJneML3C7L3a1q8
Its a lot of photos, and just one photo of a photo of a Lancia (as it happens that I used to own) but might be of interest. Title: Re: How much Lancia in an Alfa 155 Q4? Post by: chriswgawne on 18 April, 2023, 08:08:04 AM As well as a fascination for all things Aurelia I also love civil passenger aircraft particularly those with propellors and UK Independant airlines of the 50s and 60s . So I love Duxford, particularly for the civil Propliner passenger aircraft there.
Refreshingly the volunteers who man these aircraft when they are open to the public actually know what they are talking about which is often not the case at other UK airliner exhibits elsewhere. Earlier this year i spent a wonderful day there looking closely inside and outside the Avro York, the Handley Page Hermes and also the Airspeed Ambassador ( which I flew on as a child in the 1950s when it was with BEA) .
