The owner could only be from Milan, he's definitely got that effortless style of wealthy Milanese! What a cool idea to drive a 1930s Lancia across the USA, wonderful. By the way, I got curious and checked out the actual number of Dilambdas made, and it's 1686 cars. Great episode Jay!

Hi Jay, this V8 wasn't so rare. Lancia produced the narrow angle V8 from 1922 to 1939 from smallest 2600cc to largest 4500cc and about 5400 units made. It went into three different Lancias, the Trikappa, Dilambda and Astura

[@finnagin_the_ninja]

A lot of those V8s while still narrow angle has different designs. The Astura for example is later and is a completely different design with a single down draft carburettor

[@concinnus]

5400 units isn't rare next to an F40 or something, but it's rare next to (later at least) American V8 production.

[@dcanmore]
