1:18 LANCIA D50 BY CMC MODELS

Lancia had a reputation of featuring cutting-edge innovations, not only in its motor sport but also street-worthy models. Somehow the D50 was a borderline case, as Gianni Lancia allowed Vittorio Jano all the freedom to design the first ever Formula One racecar from Lancia. The revolutionary and state of the art design of the D50 promised well for its bid to honor and fame. But after the tragic loss of Ascari, Gianni Lancia turned away from the motor sports for a long time.

This precision model, hand-built from 1,598 parts, features a detachable and lockable engine hood, hinged adjustable screen, realistic replica of the V8 engine complete with pipes and cabling, triangular steering axle with shock absorbers, front suspension with wishbones, transverse leaf spring, rear suspension with De-Dion-tube, transverse leaf spring, longitudinal arms and inboard dampers, highly-detailed replication of the cooling and fuel systems.

Additionally there are hinged fuel and oil caps
Authentically-replicated hinged oil-filler cap, leather driver seat and head rest, perfectly-crafted wheels with stainless-steel spokes and nipples on an alloy rims.

In excellent condition, boxed and offered with numbered tag, cloth and tools.
