International Lancia Forums

Hi--

No, the factory collection still exists. It was moved into the old Lancia factory complex, a less attactive location but one which provides room for almost the entire collection. If you have a look at this month's OCTANE magazine, you will see a feature article on the collection.

Thus let me repeat my question: The Octane writers with only a casual interest in Lancia get a private tour of the factory collection, while 800 enthusiasts in Torino for an entire week in celebration for the 100th anniversary of the marque are not offered a tour?

I am sure that there is some "logical" reason for this, but it escapes me at the moment...

I would guess that 800 peolple is more than thee can cope with it is after all not really a public museum just a collection, I don't know the current state of affairs but a few years ago i was able to visit the museum in a party of two and we were personally escorted around the collection by Mr Masala including getting some interesting insights into the lancia of old from him and a lift back to our hotel!!! To visit at that time you needed to write and ask in advance presumably the same applies today

Hi James,

Would you care to spill the beans as to where this Lancia museum is please, or any website where one could pay a virtual visit perhaps?

I don't know where the museum is now at the time I visited it was in a part of the old lancia factory where they used to build Aurelias close to the Lancia skyscraper

... just as an aside, I know that Robert Coucher, editor of Octane, is a Lancia fan and until recently ran an S1 Fulvia Coupe with pride!
