Lancia Aprilia? Maybe by Bertone?

Not a Bertone design, not an Aprilia...

[bentleybob]

But a lancia?

[mekubb]

Pretty sure it's a Lancia, looks a couple of years earlier than a Astura. So I guess a Lancia Dilambda. Body not by Bertone as mentioned in an earlier reply, so could very well be Zagato or Farina. I go for a Dilambda Zagato.

Looks like Mekubb is right.  I found it as a 1929 Lancia Dilambda Sport.  1929 seems awful early for a body that sleek.

That's the one!

Telling by the looks, 1929 can only be the year of the chassis. The body must have been made later on, mid-30s I would guess.

[Allemano]

I took it from the official Zagato classic gallery where it is captioned as 1929 Dilambda Sports. It's not mentioned on their historical timeline, though..

I believe this was bodied in 1938 and was owned by the racing driver Luigi Villoresi.

[D-type]

Guiseppe Farina had a very similar Lancia in 1937

[SACO]

SAC#91 ( Lancia Aprilia by Zagato for Luigi Villoresi  1938 ) is the same car

[Wendax]

Yes, it is. Look at the number plates:

[Allemano]

I noticed as well, but it's still not clear which source is more reliable...

[Wendax]

The wheels surely resemble Lancia wheels from 1938, while all Dilambda pictures in the Weernink book show wire wheels or flat solid wheels without ventilation holes.

And if I understand it right, the front numberplates looked different before 1934.

[Iluvatar]

The plate, the wheels and the shape of the body are for sure later, maybe from 1937-'38... so the SAC#91 identification of this car looks more realistic...
