Title: Croatian Augusta Post by: donw on 14 April, 2009, 04:31:16 PM Thought you might like to see a picture of an Augusta being restored in Croatia for which I have supplied various parts.

Title: Re: Croatian Augusta Post by: DavidLaver on 14 April, 2009, 05:30:12 PM I think that's the first I've seen with bolt on wires. Were they common? David Title: Re: Croatian Augusta Post by: donw on 14 April, 2009, 06:10:32 PM David
Yes, on early standard cars in UK instead of solid discs, this being a late standard should have pressed slotted wheels but at the time I could only supply bolt on wires, these were rebuilt in UK and swapped for a 9th series Lambda chassis which is now in Switzerland.

Title: Re: Croatian Augusta Post by: donw on 14 April, 2009, 09:35:04 PM no definitely Augusta bolt ons, I had a 1934 Early Standard from which these wheels came and my 1933 car has the same type. Belna ones are a bit different as they do not take the Lancia hub caps fitted to this style of bolt on. All very confusing.

I do hope that his n/s front chassis leg isn't bent too!

Title: Re: Croatian Augusta Post by: johnturner on 22 April, 2009, 10:53:39 PM Looks like a sunshine roof too. Does anyone have one that works? BLD 729 orignally had a sunshine roof which we sealed up to avoid it dripping down the back of your neck when the sunshine stopped and the rains came.
