It seems the flow of edwardian racers popping up from barns and history never ends. Last weekend Duncan Pittaway presented his 28 litre Fiat clearing its throats after 100 years. Now don't be afraid that this was the very last racing car to be discovered or to be recommissioned. Charles Walmsley sent this photo of Mariano de la Fuente with his Lancia Theta (or is it Kappa?) sponsored by Michelin (see bonnet), probably to showcase their new disc wheels in 1913 or shortly after. The same Mariano won the 1924 Argentine open road long distance Gran Premio with a Studebaker. So let's start to the hunt and track down both the Lancia and the Stud. Well er... the Studebaker is still known and was sold by Christies in the time they were still into car auctions. As you may know the motorcar staff moved on to Bonhams USA. You never know, they may know about Lancia as well...
