"Talking to a director of a company I'm involved with here in Bermuda where I live, he all of a sudden showed me this picture of his mother, their vehicle and his father who is standing in the window behind the hood. I think it is pretty clear what it is (in my opinion it is a 3rd series Lancia Astura with a Pinin Farina body), but besides getting confirmed what it is, I would like to know if any of your readers could shed light on the question if the car still exists? This picture was taken in 1952 in Diepenveen, next to Deventer in The Netherlands.

The owner of the vehicle was a dentist there and the license number is believed to be: L59274. The colour of the car was dark blue fenders and roof with grey sides. "Beautiful' I was told. The car was bought second hand shortly before this picture was taken from the original owner who's last name starts with 'H' and who's name is in these electrical boxes that have 'HHH' on them (at least in NL). The last H stands for Hengelo and the first H was for the original owner's last name. The vehicle was kept for a while when is was sold on to finance the purchase of a Bentley."
