And a Motom !
Almost a Lancia, a very modern design by Battista Falchetto, the designer of the Lambda
(I also like the Fiat 124 coupe in that sale, looks like a nice car!)

It's seized and in a right state Frank. And it's been for sale for months on gumtree and eBay. Not for me although someone will most likely buy it for a mobile pizza oven.
Plenty in Italy but most are restored.

I was thinking of going to this auction as there were a couple of Lots apart from the Ercole which might have been of interest and as it happens I was going to be in the UK on the day.
But..... only this week after a couple of years of looking on and off I have finally found a good 1957 Ercole here which is complete, a runner and the right sort of price. It has just been delivered here and we are very excited.
I don't need to bother with the auction now but it will be interesting tom see how much the Ercole goes for.
Our new addition should prove to be useful for a variety of agricultural type uses here once I have fully checked it over and tidied it up a bit. I think it will also be great fun if a little slow but it came with a set of chains so good in the snow?

That is brilliant Chris!!! How lovely to at last get an Ercole after waiting for so long. I hope you and Jacky get a lot of fun out of using it!!! By the way, do you drive it or ride it?  Andy |

Result! Your patience paid off in the long run, how many near misses did you have or nothing you'd trawled through ticked enough of your boxes?

Brilliant !
You will have a ball ...... cab on or cab off ? I found that it was too noisy with the cab on, plus I like the wind in my hair

Thanks Simon,
I think I will probably take the cab off to give the engine a good clean and going over but I did really want a cab in reasonable condition so I might refit it later.
I hope to have time to have a proper play with it next week sometime but we are very busy pruning at the moment so the Ercole will have to wait.
