1925 Lancia Lambda Series 5 Project
Reg. no. Unknown
Chassis no. 3878/ 13865
Engine no. 3878
(images coming soon)
The Lancia Lambda is regarded as a highly significant vehicle in the development of the modern car; not only was it one of the first production cars with independent front suspension - achieved through a distinctive sliding-pillar system - it was also a pioneer of semi-monocoque construction, with the body being a stressed element of the design.
This 1925 Lambda kit of parts consists of an engine (number 3878) and four-speed gearbox, petrol tank, 2 ½ front trapezoid axles, a complete rear axle, four hubs, four drums, a steering rack and column, and suspension parts. Chassis tubes and rails are also present, the chassis number being 13865 (the number 3878 is also present). Being a 5th-Series car, the 2119cc engine and four-speed gearbox would seem correct. The car was privately imported in the 1930s. Owned by Air Commodore Buckel, it was bought as a kit of parts by the vendor’s father, a well-known VSCC member and car restorer, in the 1980s. The Lancia club are aware of the project and according to the vendor, are willing to assist with research and registration. This project, offered in the 100th anniversary year of the Lambda, should offer a rewarding challenge and result in a most delightful motor car.
Estimate: £5, 000 - 6, 000
