Title: coachbuilder mystery
Post by: Richard Fridd on 05 February, 2013, 07:24:30 PM
I am trying to identify this (autopuzzle)car, which I thought was a B50 by Stabilimenti Farina or according to a website picture caption a B53 by Bertone. Advice welcome!

I think it's actually by Vignale, as there is a small 'V' badge on the wing. (Not visable in your picture)

Post now visible! Page 155 of La Lancia was my reference point.

Page 155 of the third edition of La Lancia shows a different (but similar styled) car.
Shown in the picture below, this is a B52 by Bertone, it is a totally original low mileage car, owned by a Club member in Belgium.

There is a picture of the car from your original enquiry on the Vignale web site:
