Luigi,

 

You have a good eye !

 

This little jewel is a '64 Lancia 1800 Zagato Sports Prototype.

 

This unique Zagato bodied competition car ( Ser.# 815538-1001 ), is a very unique car in the true spirit of Lancia's great racing tradition.

 

In '64 the Lancia racing department built this Sports Prototype Zagato on a shortened Lancia frame with lightweight body and much emphasis on weight saving.

 

Its first race was the '64 Targa Florio, Marco Crosina & Fernando Frescobaldi driving…..had a crash and did not finish.

 

In '67, factory driver Claudio Maglioli (Italian Champion in '65 & '66 in Lancias ) bought the car from Lancia., and kept it for 20 years while restoring it lovingly.

 

The current owner (from Vienna, Austria) finished the restoration in 2012. Last year's appearance at Pebble Beach was the first time the public saw the car since the Targa 50 years ago.

Well... it wasn't so difficult for an Italian (and from a family that started to sell cars in 1912... ;)) : though a prototype, the style is anyway the one of the small.series-but standard Flavia Sport Zagato :

.. with something "borderline" in its style (note the rear windows...) , but so was that Zagato found the way to distinguish him from the "clean lines" of Pinin who signed other Lancias...

I think you may find it is a Markham-Peasy Super Sabre. I drove past a derelict one of these on a mound in front of a body repair shop near Oban on the Scottish Malts Rally last year. Fibreglass special from 1950's using Ford 8 or 10 running gear. There were dozens of small makes doing this. Buckler, Peel, Rochdale etc.

Here is a picture of the Markham-Peasy. One of the prettiest of the specials, a bit like a little Osca or Maserati.

That all seems to match up with recollections. Ford running gear was the key.

 

Edit: Rochdale had already come up in discussions too.

 

Thanks!

Mike,

 

Rochdale's are rather ugly from memory (not as ugly as the early Marcos), with a hump-back bonnet and many of them were coupés rather than roadsters.

Well, this has stalled completely, I suppose partly because with all the commentary about ancillary cars, it's not clear who should post a car. Barging right in, here's one I've never seen before, and I show it in its entirety (though with the badging obliterated, as well as the bit of wording on the sign). What is it?

Simon -

 

That was quick, and you are correct.  You can see that the grill influenced later Lincoln designers.  The year of this one is 1940 and it is powered by a V12 engine.  Your turn.
