Lancia Aprilia?

mekubb · December 16, 2012, 05:55:01 AM

The engine is from an Aprilia, but no further Lancia bits

Not Stanguellini but Fiat base car is right, although not 1500. And we have established earlier that it has a Aprilia engine

Italo Pezzoli was the man behind ORCA (Officina Riparazioni Costruzione Autoveicoli) situated at via Don Bosco 66 in Torino.
The car was constructed in 1947 on a modified Fiat Topolino chassis and fitted with a Fiat 1100 engine.
The car competed in the 1947 Mille Miglia and was also driven in the Aosta-Gran San Bernardo event by Italo Pezzoli in the same year.
Pezzoli also built several other cars using Fiat and Lancia mechanicals.

Yes, Pezzoli was the name I was looking for, another point for you.

Sorry Paul, Woodinsight was just a bit quicker

targhediferro · January 21, 2013, 07:21:12 AM

Sorry...how could this car has a Lancia Aprilia engine (your answers) ?? if it is a 1100?

The Pezzoli PLF (Pezzoli Lancia Fiat) was a Sport with an Aprilia engine on a Fiat 1100 chassis. This one is a Fiat 1100 chassis and engine, according to Curami's book.

Yes I now see in Curami's book that the PLF had the Aprilia engine and not the Orca, sorry about that. The Orca 1100 had a Fiat 1100 engine on a modified Topolino chassis if I understand the Italian text correctly.
