Title: Solved - MJW #105 - Lancia Astura by Weinberger 1938
Post by: woodinsight on November 08, 2010, 03:39:39 PM
I need make, model, year and who crafted the coachwork.
One point awaits.

Mid 1930's Lancia Astura Cabriolet?  By Pinin Farina perhaps?

Well, it's almost certainly a 1937-1940 Lancia Aprilia, but no idea on the body manufacturer...Italian?

Okay - I'll give you the year - 1938
It's a Lancia Astura - correct Carnut.
Coachbuilder is not Italian however

Austrian or German (behind I see a 508 Nsu)

Post by: woodinsight on November 20, 2010, 09:53:17 AM
German it is

Was this a really obscure German coachbuilder or a mainstream one?  Cool car, by the way...

This coachbuilder is not obscure.
Their speciality appeared to be open cars such as the puzzle.

Weinberger & Buhne?
Title: Re: MJW #105
Post by: woodinsight on November 25, 2010, 11:23:10 AM
I was under the impression that Weinburger and Buhne were two separate companies?
I'll lock it for you until your next reply as you are nearly there.

I know that Weinberger made some cabriolets Bmw and Bugatti: maybe they made something whit Astura body. I'm not sure about Buhne
Title: Re: MJW #105
Post by: woodinsight on November 26, 2010, 03:39:52 AM
Okay, I'm going to give you the point as you were virtually there.
It's a 1938 Lancia Astura 1.3litre by Weinberger.

thanks!  ;D
but: the Lancia Astura fitted a 2.606 cmc 8 v engine, not a 1.300 as you have written

I think my source was wrong on the engine size.
I'll check it and alter the title. Thanks.
