Not all Lambda, but three pages, if of interest to members http://audiovis.nac.gov.pl/search/ I quite like the snow scenes photos (This requires typing "Lancia", into the "search box". Can't find a direct link)

Richard,
you've outdone yourself this time, great photos and proves B&W photos are a great medium.
Well done.
Wish I could read Polish!

Alan Cooper just sent me this!
I'm hoping Alan can tell me where and when it was taken.
I hope it was insured.

Another old photo. On the back it has "Jacey's 5th. Series" Does anyone know anything about it? Strange pick - up body. Unusual wheel trims, not quite the same as Mike Guest's, but it is an earlier car.

Something in the back of my mind tells me this is the car which was rebuilt
by Ron Jewell. I don't know where that went to.
Over to you, Tim for further info?

  Quite correct, Tony. I went to the Phoenix last night and Gerald and Mike Benwell knew. It's now in Holland in the hands of Jost and Heidi, but looking like a normal Lambda (apart from the shotgun mounted on the side of the bonnet!)

Road accident!
The victim will go into the pot, and make a nice supper.

At first glance a Lambda, with balloon.

At second glance, not so sure!

Is it really a Lambda? What could it be?

(Found yesterday at Epoqu'Auto, in Lyon)

???Dumb irons.    Scuttle very short and not sure there is enough of a rump.

Yes! Also a very big car!

Bu certainly italian.

My first idea: early Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8

Another possibility, prompted by an article in this month's Viva Lancia:

a late Lancia Trikappa
(there is a similar car in a 1922 Trikappa advertisement, reproduced on page 30 of "La favolosa Lancia")

The relatively short bonnet might hide a big V8 better than an inline 8.

I would say the rear axle is too far back for a chassis-less car too. It must be something with a chassis frame but the style is so similar to a Lambda Balloon.

The dates of the first three photos are wrong. The first and second photos are of an earlier car and the third is an 8th series, which was later. Strange door handles, too.

How about this "Richard Talbot Electro Car"  then (from autopuzzle)

Looking at the shape and depth of the rad, it looks like Dilambda, also the shape of the headlamps makes me think the same.


Title: Re: Some old photos
Post by: Dilambdaman on 24 July, 2015, 09:39:40 PM
Correct Roger, Dilambda. See page 52 LANCIA by Michael Frostick were the caption reads "Murphy looking duller than usual on its all too familiar background."

  Actually, I think it is a VIIth with the slightly lower radiator and the thicker headlight rims.

Count the louvres. I make it ten, which makes it an 8th. series car - or possibly 9th.

Just been out to study my cars and I concede you point John, also the radiator corner is above the midline of the headlight which makes it an VIIIth - but the headlights are like those on my VIIth!  Anyway, must be 1928+
