Lancia Rally 037 – The Last Rear-Wheel Drive Car To Win The World Rally Championship
The Lancia Rallye 037 is one of the most beloved cars from the legendary Group B rally era, despite the fact it didn’t have the complex all-wheel drive systems of the Audis and Peugeots it was competing against.
Against the odds the plucky little Italian racer defeated its technologically advanced rivals at Audi to win the 1983 World Rally Championship Constructors’ title with Walter Röhrl and Markku Alen its two key drivers.
This would be the last time a rear-wheel drive car would win the WRC title, the Audi Quattro all-wheel systems would set the benchmark which would then be adopted by their competitors, perhaps most notably by Peugeot with their 205 T16 which won the the 1985 and 1986 Constructors’ and Drivers’ titles.
The majority of the development work on the Lancia Rally 037 was done by Abarth, the car was designed as a silhouette racer based on the Lancia Montecarlo however the only common part between the two cars was the central chassis section of the unibody. For homologation into the wild world of Group B rally Lancia needed to build a minimum of 200 examples of the 037 for road use and sell them to customers, this resulted in the road-legal Lancia Rally 037 Stradale version (shown here).
Starting with the Lancia Montecarlo central frame section the engineers developed a tubular steel front and rear frame, the Pininfarina bodywork was designed around this in a front and rear clamshell to ensure that mechanics would have excellent access to the engine, suspension, and brakes. A supercharged 2.0 to 2.1 litre (depending on year) inline-4 cylinder engine was fitted in a mid-rear location, mounted longitudinally to allow more space for suspension components.
The road-legal Stradale (Italian for “road”) version was capable of 205 hp at 7,000 rpm, with 167 ft lbs of torque at 5,000 rpm, a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph), and a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 5.8 seconds.
The Lancia Rally 037 has remained a fan favourite decades after it was surpassed by its all-wheel drive brethren. When one of the original homologation 037 Stradale cars comes up for sale it always garners signifiant attention, just 207 were built in total and most are either in museums or locked away in private collections.
The 1981 Lancia 037 Stradale you see here is just the 14th of the 207 that were built, it’s showing fewer than 20,000 kilometres (12,427 miles) on the odometer and importantly it retains its original factory paint and interior. The car benefits from a recent mechanical restoration including a complete engine rebuild.
The combination of the historic importance of the Lancia Rally 037 as the final rear-wheel drive car to win the WRC title and the fact that as a Stradale version this vehicle can be enjoyed on the road means that they’re highly desirable as a drivable collectible classic – and they’re far easier to pilot that some of the Group B homologation cars that would come later.
The heady days of Group B are now seen as an almost unparalleled golden age in the history of rally, the cars that defined this era have skyrocketed in popularity in recent years, and the momentum behind them shows no signs of slowing.

Lancia Flavia 1800 Sport Coupé - 1963 by Perico001 Coachwork by Zagato
For this project Ercole Spada was given a free hand and the result could undoubtedly be called exceptional. A mere 101 models of the Flavia sport were built with a 1.500 cc engine (90 bhp). Of the 1.800 cc (105 bhp) version 539 saw the light of day, including 32 models with Kugelfischer injection.

Lancia Flaminia 2.5 Berlina - 1960 by Perico001 The Flaminia, presented at the Turin Show in 1956 and put on sale as of 1957, was Lancia’s great flagship, the heir of the Aurelia. It was designed by Professor Fessia. It had a 60′ V6 Lancia engine (2.500 cc) derived from the one used previously in the Aurelia (the first engine in the world in this configuration and patented by Lancia) but this was later replaced with a more powerful 2.800 cc.
Sold at extremely high prices for the time and therefore with a rather low number of vehicles produced, it was still a top symbol of Lancia production in the post-war period and represented a flagship for that segment which is now defined as high quality construction and large, luxury saloons. There is room for six people to sit comfortably in the large driver and passenger compartment.
Worth noting are the two small fins on the back which, although influenced by the American style, were re-interpreted more elegantly by Pininfarina who took charge of the aesthetics. Due to its stateliness and aristocratic line (4.85 m long and 1.75 m wide), this vehicle became the car of statesmen and industrialists during the economic boom.

Lancia Aprilia Speciale Series 2 - 1947 by Perico001 Coachwork by Pinin Farina
Both the first and second Aprilia series were produced with different wheelbase chassis in order to be fitted with different types of bodies or be sold as rolling chassis for the independent bodybuilders. All the most important Italian bodybuilders (Bertone, Touring, Vignale, Pinin Farina to name a few) created beautiful bodies for the Aprilia, which sometimes looked like a small Astura.
In the 1930s, the showy and luxurious American style had influenced all the Italian and European bodybuilders, who after the war came back to a more linear elegance represented by the “pontoon fender” bodies, which integrated the fenders in the car line eliminating the deep modelling that had marked the previous style. The car on show in the museum was designed by Pinin Farina on a Type 439 long chassis. From this creation you can notice the evolution of the style with the headlights becoming a part of the front end and the disappearing side footboard. The natural evolution of this style would later lead to the creation of the Aurelia.
The Aprilia was a beloved and appreciated successful car, its production was stopped in 1949.
