		Vincenzo Lancia is recognized as one of the greatest engineers in motoring history and the Lancia Club’ South Africa’s Vincenzo Rally in late August was held to celebrate the birthday of this great Italian who died in 1937.

		Vincenzo Lancia's last car, the innovative Aprilia of 1937-50, appeared a few weeks after his sudden death at the age of 55.
