Australia Research Centre.
Squadra Corse Lancia Australia
are continuously researching Lancia cars and sources of parts. We have
cars listed on our site from all over the world and we often receive
inquiries about specific cars.
If you would like to know
information about a specific car or have any information about cars
listed below please e-mail
us. Car history's help with the uniqueness of each example and
there are lots of wonderful stories associated with Lancia's in
Australia.
Currently we are seeking
information about some Lancia's believed to be in Australia:
- A Gamma Coupe in Hobart.
Apparently owned by a Doctor in the late 80's. Any clues?
- A Flavia Sport was restored
in Perth from 1992 to 2994 and has been offered for sale in Unique
Cars and at several auctions. Does anyone know where it is now? We
would like to trace the owner.
- A 1937/38 Lancia Aprilia was
according to rumour, stored away in the back of Shields Motors in
Melbourne from thatt ime until 1946, when it was brought out,
washed and polished, serviced and sold as a new car. Does anyone
know any more about this car and sale? Apparently quite a few
Aprilia were sold prior to 1939. Does anyone have any idea of
numbers?
- There are 2 Augusta in
Adelaide. They were exhibited at the Australian Grand Prix in 1989
or 1990 in a display of classic cars. One was a lovely Berlina,
the other a Cabriolet. We would like to get in touch with the
owner.
- The first Flavia Coupe sold
by Dick Seers at Lambda Motors in 1964 was a Blu Mendoza, and
after being displayed at the Sydney motor Show that year was sold
to Randolph Carpenter of the shipping company W.R. Carpenter
Pty Ltd. It featured the sedan style elongated strip speedo.
- Also displayed at the Sydney
Motor Show were 3 Fulvia sedans. These were original single
carburettor versions type 818.001.One was bright yellow, and was
sold to a Finnish chap who took it to Western Australia. Any clues
on its fate?
