Description
A detailed design and engineering history on how Lancia got to the narrow V up to the Lambda. Many new and interesting finds along the way, a readable but techy book (author’s description!), lots of drawings, images. Key findings are: details on three aero engines, a previously unknown V8 and the two V12s. New findings include testing by US Government; internal details of the 1919 narrow V12, not previously seen; prototype narrow V engines from 1920 to 1922; early prototypes of the Lambda V4. Written and privately published by a long-term Lancia enthusiast whose book ‘Lancia and De Virgilio at the center’ remains one of the finest Lancia books. Well illustrated. Softbound. 17.5cm x 24cm. 197pp
