1 point for Mekubb !

It's not a factory car, is it?

[SACO]

The car was supposedly built in the united states.
no history. new body built. No pictures before - after.
simple motor. no special motor or sportcarburetor. !!!

That means it predates Ferrari 375 Plus, but has a look inspired by that (or at least it seems so)? I doubt that 375 was drawn with this car in mind Maybe drawn by Pinin Farina of course, who used that design later for 375 Plus, but... don't know.

1951 means that the chassis was made then, not the body.

[faksta]

Oh, you're right, of course.

From our  LMC forum: alluminium body recently built,a Fiat1100E chassis #352058,lancia badges and 2 Litre engine,a Fiat 1500/OSCA spider gearbox,the axles and brakes(improved) from a Fiat 508C,5 Borrani wheels from a Maserati A6GCS and no documents.

And in some years someone will buy it as a rare Lancia prototype, not even mentioned in the literature ...

The prettiest little Ferrari which Lancia never built.
