1981 LANCIA Montecarlo Découvrable Série 2 Châss is n° 5392 Moteur à bloc en fonte et culasse en aluminium de 1995cm3 Un carburateur double-corps Weber 34 120ch à 6000 trs/min et 17.4mkg à 3400 trs/min Matching numbers 541 exemplaires construits 200 encore en circulation (estimation Road&Track) Carte grise française Lancée au salon de Genève de 1975 la Beta Montecarlo émanait dÂ’un dessin de Pininfarina. Les traits étaient inspirés des études Abarth O30 et Fiat X1/8 (X1/20I) . On retrouve le 4 cylindres bien connu de 120 chevaux mis au point par le fameux Aurelio Lampredi couplé à une transmission à 5 vitesses bien guidée et étagée. Adulée pour son comportement routier par la presse de lÂ’époque elle était disponible en coupé ou en version découvrable comme la nôtre. Après un arrêt de la production de 2 ans afin de mettre au point un freinage largement décrié la 2ème série commercialisée à partir de 1980 est reconnaissable par sa nouvelle calandre ses rétroviseurs et ses jantes tandis que le poids faisait une chute de quelques 70 kilos. La Montecarlo présentée aujourdÂ’hui est en parfait état quÂ’il sÂ’agisse de son état cosmétique que mécanique. Les bas de porte de caisse bac à batterie passage de roue tourelles dÂ’amortisseurs sont exempts de rouille nous avons en effet près de 4 000 € de facture récentes dont certaines proviennent de la carrosserie Lecoq. Le pare-brise est neuf de même que les 4 Pirellis. Accompagnée de son rare toit amovible (en option) à double bulle type Zagato comme on pouvait le trouver sur les 037 elle dispose également de sa roue de secours sa trousse à outils et son manuel dÂ’entretien original. Une prise de compression récente révèle un moteur en parfaite santé ce quÂ’aura pu confirmer notre essai routier. Agréable à mener sur les petites routes sinueuses la Montecarlo est la parfaite représentante des petites bombes Italiennes que les connaisseurs sÂ’arrachent aujourdÂ’hui. Les problèmes électriques et la corrosion étant leur bête noire cette Montecarlo est à nÂ’en pas douter un des plus beaux exemplaires en Europe ! Our Montecarlo is assuredly one of the best around. In desirable open-top 2nd series it is exceptionally sound with the usual rustprone areas free of ominous corrosion or pitting. The strut towers lower sills door bottoms or battery tray are all perfectly solid. A recent compression test also revealed a very healthy powerplant and the gearbox shifts nicely and precisely. Recent bills include some from the famous Lecoq bodywork including the fitment of a new windshield and Pirelli tires front and back. It is also accompanied by its spare wheel original factory tool kit and ownerÂ’s manual. The optional “Zagato” style bubble roof is a nice feature and once removed will make this little-gem of a mid-engined sports car an absolute joy to chuck about in. Plagued with corrosion and electrical problems the Montecarlo was short-lived but is sought after today thanks to good looks.

CAMERA MACHINE GUN. It`s not every day one will come across an extreme rarity like this. When commercial air travel began to hit its stride in the 1930s its use as a military application was already in its stride and being perfected. The US War Dept. (which eventually changed names to the Defense Dept.) was training combat pilots to an unstoppable force. Since it wasn`t practical to practice with live ammunition the US Army Air Corp with the help of engineers at Fairchild Aviation developed a camera gun that operated like the machine guns the airmen were used to firing while being able to record their maneuvers to improve shooting accuracy. This item in heavy gauge nickel plated bronze was designed to mount in an aircraft like the machine guns of the period with an interior to hold film with the trigger snapping pictures at a rate of up to 6 frames per second. Complete with cross-hair sites, wooden handles and a long barrel it mimicked the look of the military machine gun. Affixed with an official plaque identifying it along with a serial number of ""A.C. 37-217"". Accompanied by documents pertaining to aerial photography including an equally rare official War Dept. technical manual dated July 8, 1941 and a de-classified manual for aerial gunnery dated August 1919 (these were most often destroyed) as well as correspondence between the present consignor and aeronautical historians about the camera gun. A fabulous trove of information and historically significant piece of modern military history. SIZE: 37"" l. CONDITION: Very good to excellent. Internal camera mechanism itself is no longer present. 1-14159
