#10: Rosengart LR505?
Once again, exceptionally similar, but not a Rosengart...

#10: La Licorne 8 CV?
It IS a La Licorne, but not 8 CV. Held for you for the correct model!

#31- May I ask which is your answer? The car is quite known, I have a picture of it few steps from Luigi Pagani's workshop, were the Lancia engine was tuned. It was built for Luciano Agosti and it ended in Enrico Adanti's hands.
I have some articles about, but Zagato is never mentioned.

So that would mean the Viotti is the correct answer? This would mean that the point is yours rather than Joao's with his Zagato guess...

I'm very happy to admit that my source at the time would have been incorrect, especially considering the lack of results I'm getting now, it was named as a Lancia Aprilia Sport by Motto.

We had that car here:

I'll look for a pic of a Motto bodied Lancia of 1938 that, according to my index, should be in the Catalogue Raissonee.
Joao's obviously found the car, you can give him his point.  ;)

Going by the louvers, it seems to be a 1935 model. Since it is not an 8 CV, it could be an 11 CV.

Thanks for the link, in your thread America75 says: "While I agree with PJ that it is most probably a Viotti creation, I want to point out that in the book 'La Lancia' by Wim Oude Weernink, the car is identified as: ...Turin coachbuilder Motto with his interpretation for an aerodynamic Mille Miglia coupé in 1938, to be driven by Luigi 'Gigi' Villoresi."
which may very well be where my source got Motto from, but my image quite clearly shows it in the same race configuration as your bottom image at the '6 ore di Pescara' so I'll mark it as solved, and your upon your insistence by Joao. :)

The louvres actually point to a very specific configuration, which I do believe is based on the 11 CV, but La Licorne appear to have given their own names to so I do still require that name.

Wendax

I know which one you are talking about, I came across it yesterday while going through my books. I'll have to look up the correct name tonight.

Wendax

It should be the Licorne Type MIR Grand Confort.

That's... not what I have...

Have you got any photos to go with that name?

Paul Jaray

Finally I had the time to scan that page from the Lancia catalogue:

Wendax

I finally found the #10 car. It is a 1935 Licorne 11CV Type B4 Coupé by Duval. Licorne called its three-window coupe usually La Baule. Is that the name you are looking for?

Finally I had the time to scan that page from the Lancia catalogue:

Thanks! There the name Motto appears once again, so my initial labelling was correct. Was it a Viotti design BUILT by Motto or was Motto behind it the whole way? Or was the Lancia catalogue incorrect...

There we go! I have it as La Licorne 420 (internal name for 11CV it seems) Coupe by Duval. I hadn't seen the La Baule designation before, but you've already provided the requisite information so this is just a cherry on top! Well done!

This leaves just 5 puzzle pieces before this one can finally be retired! I've attached them here for easier finding:

7.

9.

12.

26.

29.

Home stretch folks, any questions to help identify any of these vehicles?

My idea is the car was 'presumed' bodied by Motto when that pic was published, but then it was definetly credited to Viotti. The catalogue says 'probably built by Motto'.

I'm happy to go with that as the answer, given that the puzzle images came from the web ~4 years ago I wouldn't have had the up to date answer.

Hah, whoops! And that one too - thanks for adding that on there!
