Freshly arrived in our collection, this Lancia Lambda 8th Series Open Tourer comes with extensive documentation, a history file and numerous maintenance and repair invoices. It also has a FIVA registration, Identity Card number: 078818. Last but not least, it is registered in the Mille Miglia register.
The car was extensively prepared for the Mille Miglia to achieve mechanical perfection yet leave the exterior unchanged, thereby preserving the well worn patina. Right-hand drive, like all Lancia's up to the 1950s, the car comes with an impressive history file which includes the invoices of the work done in the recent years.
This Lancia was originally new delivered to an American Ambassador in Egypt and eventually, via America, ended up in England, where it was restored mid 80s. In 2019, the vehicle was imported to the Netherlands, where it has been completely restored/overhauled by the current owner. All technical work was carried out by a specialized company. This Lancia Lambda 8th Series Open Tourer, built in 1928, is therefore cosmetically in good condition with a beautiful patina, and technically in excellent shape. It successfully competed in the Mille Miglia in 2020 and 2021.
The beautiful interior features brown leather seats with that perfect and lovely patina. The car has been subject of impressive restoration works both mechanical and structural but its interior has been left largely undisturbed so it still feels like a proper old car when you sit in it.A beautiful patina that can never be achieved when an interior is renewed.
On the road it feels very taut and the car goes extremely well, there is no doubt its performance will put many other 1930's cars including many sports cars of the period to shame.
Its rarity, its history, but also its sporty and powerful appearance, make this vehicle a very good choice for a subscription in the Mille Miglia. It is now waiting for a new owner who will continue its unique history.
The Lambda's technical innovations make it still very pleasant to drive today. Impressive, considering that it is a car with over 90 years of history and life.
