Vehicle history – from England to Italy, passing through Switzerland This Lambda VII was delivered new in Great Britain in 1927. In 1974 it was purchased by a Swiss enthusiast residing in Lausanne, who kept it for decades in an unfortunately unsuccessful attempt to restore it. In 2005, now discouraged and advanced in age, the owner decided to pass it on to a well-known Italian collector of pre-war cars. Thus began a complete restoration lasting five years, from 2005 to 2010, conducted with historical rigor and meticulous attention to detail. Every component was disassembled, overhauled or rebuilt, including: The engine, completely rebuilt by one of the most authoritative Lancia Lambda specialists.
