Or stored for a few years. Remember all those 911s that hung around after one of the big financial disasters in the City? They stood in fields for a year or two, then were pulled in, given new rear light clusters and sold as new. I'll check the details later. It was something like that.
This turned up in our works car park today. Lancia Lambda, but no idea what year. A quick google says it was built between '22 and '31.
It wouldn't start on the electric starter (owner muttering about engagement), and when he turned it over with the hand crank (nice touch - the socket is hidden behind the fold down number plate), it gave the biggest backfire, along with a colossal ball of black smoke!
With the engine running after the third heave on the crank, the owner donned his leather flying helmet and shot out of the car park at a proper rate of knots!

Shame some pillock has stripped the original number plate off it though.It wouldn't start on the electric starter (owner muttering about engagement), and when he turned it over with the hand crank (nice touch - the socket is hidden behind the fold down number plate), it gave the biggest backfire, along with a colossal ball of black smoke!

A torpedo body on what looks like a long chassis (although these cars actually have the first production monocoque).
The date and engine capacity suggests its a 7th series car.

Just saw two rather gorgeous young brunettes hustling this AH Sprite through the Dales on a beautiful summer eve.
Had the wife and daughters in the car so couldn't stop for a chat, maybe some bread and wine by the side of the road, possibly inviting them onto my special picnic rug for a bit of rough and tumble...
