I like the 2015 header very much. Are the photos lifted from the original model launch brochures etc?

I thought it was the Ardea 75 in 2014??
Most references quote 1st Jan 1940 introduction of production. This was taken as the model anniversary date. |

The factory records that are on the Viva Lancia site show that 70 cars were made in 1939. http://www.viva-lancia.com/specials/cd/vin.php (Click on the link to page 5 1938-1945) |

Thanks Chris. I can neither confirm nor deny if the car images were brazenly stolen from various websites and blogs  |

Apart from being pedantic on the Ardea introduction date, I do like the new banner.
Mark, is the photo change on the header done on a timed basis, and if so, what is the time between changes of the photo?

Tim. |

I merely created the graphics. Steve Pilgrim does all the programming magic. |

Ade (et al) , the photo changes on the hour and cycles through the eight models three times during day. Hopefully this means we all get to see them , whatever the timezone. The photos are numbered 01 - 08 and then it's the modulus ( 24 hour / 8 ) + 1 thus giving us the file for the hour ...

Hi Steve Best not take the Ardea out then or that would bugger up the calculation somewhat....... On a less frivolous note, I too think the banner is great and particularly like the rotating images. Peter |

There is a solution to the 'Ardea problem'
In 1940 Lancia started production of the Ardea 550 Furgoncino. Only 9 were built before WWII.
After the war production began again as the 2nd series Ardea Furgoncino, also called the 650.
Easy, just change the Ardea title in the header to 'Ardea 550' and the picture to one of an Ardea Van.

Again Trailblazing has the Furgoncino as introduced 1941 but the Tassi Roma Tipo 450 introduced in 1940...... My preference would be to leave this as is..... |
