Market commentary
These high pressure Lancias were competitive in period with Porsche 935 K3s, as is this bid, but much more rare and visually striking. The low estimate is a quarter million US$, however, and thats not in the cards, particularly for a car that is this tired and has been dormant so long. At +100,000 and $175,000 it would be no bargain.
