Sliding pillar suspension, V4....not overly familiar with the Lambda but a firm candidate.
Vented cooling fins on the drums another Lancia signature..
Giulietta JTD 170
Lancia Delta integrale
Lancia Flavia coupe 1.8 1963
Lancia Dedra turbo
Renault Clio 197 RS

I'm bad with people things
But I should have tried more

Funny really, it was amongst those other silver car shots, the blue van caught my eye more than the Lancia!
Was that a Fiat 900?

For Alfa read Lancia!

Am I correct in that Pinninfarina designed both the Flaminia and the Austin A40 because the front wing and wheel arch appear almost identical. Italian/BMC

The bike is a Laverda and so probably the mighty Jota.

Shame to see the place it was conceived for sale now and looking like a an odd bit of building with no indication of what it was.

I first thought Flaminia for the twin headlight one but they are more flush mounted, bugs me that I can't think of it.....then it'll be a Flaminia! :lol:
