Lancia Aprilia? Maybe by Bertone?

Pretty sure it's a Lancia, looks a couple of years earlier than a Astura. So I guess a Lancia Dilambda. Body not by Bertone as mentioned in an earlier reply, so could very well be Zagato or Farina. I go for a Dilambda Zagato.

Looks like Mekubb is right.  I found it as a 1929 Lancia Dilambda Sport.  1929 seems awful early for a body that sleek.

Telling by the looks, 1929 can only be the year of the chassis. The body must have been made later on, mid-30s I would guess.

I took it from the official Zagato classic gallery where it is captioned as 1929 Dilambda Sports. It's not mentioned on their historical timeline, though.. ???

I believe this was bodied in 1938 and was owned by the racing driver Luigi Villoresi.

Guiseppe Farina had a very similar Lancia in 1937

Yes, it is. Look at the number plates:

I noticed as well, but it's still not clear which source is more reliable...

The wheels surely resemble Lancia wheels from 1938, while all Dilambda pictures in the Weernink book show wire wheels or flat solid wheels without ventilation holes.

And if I understand it right, the front numberplates looked different before 1934.

The plate, the wheels and the shape of the body are for sure later, maybe from 1937-'38... so the SAC#91 identification of this car looks more realistic...
