This being a version of the Lancia Astura would be a safe guess. The only other candidates are a Fiat 518 or Fiat Adita, or a Simca/Fiat -- Last edit: 2007-04-08 17:12:36

samyuk ◊ 2007-04-16 04:07	antp wrote You have a picture of the car? Those that I found had different grille/bumper I do not have an exact picture. This car is very intriguing. At first I thought it was a Lancia or a Fiat, Then I came across pictures in two Alfa Romeo books at a book store that showed 6c 2300s that looked similar to this car. So I bought both books so that I can check out the pitures at home-the Tipler book that I quoted and a book published by Bruno Alfieri. I also checked Alfa books of the Sutton's Photographic History of Transport series, an Osprey book, and a coffee table book by David Owen. It seems that the 6C 2300s were bodied by Carrozzeria Castagna, Carrozzeria Touring, and also carried standard factory bodies. So there were many variations. What was surprising was that Alfa Romeo did not seem to have supplied standard radiator shells. I also checked two Lancia books and two Fiat books on their cars of the same period, Lancias had more standard radiator shells. Fiat became more aerodynamic after the 518/508/527 era. The only Fiats that resembles the car in the picture were the 518 Ardita with a narrower radiator and the 527, again with a narrower radiator. My only reservation is that the badge on the radiator though round, is not very clearly Alfa Romeo, and the two rectangular fog/driving lights on the bumper, which may indicate that the car has been subjected to some modification, so i thought 6c 2300 was a good choice because the shape of the rdiator shell and the bonnet extending from the radiator shell backwards, for example, this picture, http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/a/35ar6C2300BTurismo.jpg. I wonder if any one else can shed some light on this car.

DynaMike ◊ 2009-01-04 23:03	I agree that the badge on top of the grille is defenitely a Lancia...
Astura ◊ 2009-03-19 15:14	This is a Lancia Dilambda Berlina Pininfarina 1933, NOT an Astura.
samyuk ◊ 2009-04-02 23:59	thank you
Gianfranco Conti ◊ 2013-03-19 12:52	Vi posso assicurare che si tratta di una LANCIA DILAMBDA con divisorio del 1934 carrozzeria FARINA bicolore bleu e nera E' stata usata per vari film da "C'era una volta in America" a "Un tè con Mussolini" e tante fiction italiane. Fa parte del ns. parco auto da oltre 30 anni ed è in uno splendido stato di conservazione. Tappezzeria e vernice originali. Solo il motore è stato revisionato.
