Title: Essagamma for sale
Post by: Kevin MacBride on 05 August, 2010, 12:18:00 AM
I saw an Essagamma for sale on Pistonheads. Located in Stafford. Anyone know anything about these ? I've tried to contact the owner but no reply yet. This would be great as a racecar transporter....am I mad ?

Richard Dixon is the name of the owner. I met him once a few years ago at a show here in Ireland. The truck seemsto have been for sale for a while. I would have thought that something that rare would have been snapped up. I've emailed and phoned but no reply yet...

Sorry about that, a slip of the typing finger, bought a new keyboard yesterday as a lot of the letters on the keys have worn away, so hopefully I won't make the same mistake again.
I met Richaed in Esphino Portugal in 2004 on one of Frank Dehlers (Club Vincenzo Lancia) trips.

Sorry had to go and answer the phone, I spoke to richard on tuesday. The truck was belong to a circus it was used as a ticket office, the back would have to come off but according to Richard you can get a car transporter body in Italy for very reasonable money. The company he mentioned have transporter bodies from as far back as the early eighty's. I think this would make it quite viable.

Not a Lancia, but very cool and for sale - a conversion opportunity.
