I've inadvertently discovered a new addiction. Vintage Penny diecast. I love car transporters, so when I saw this one for a decent price I had to grab it. Unlike a lot of other brand's trailers, the trailer is riveted onto the cab and does not seperate. Penny used the Lancia Esadelta cab for a variety of uses. Along with this car hauler, there is also a tanker truck, flat bed cargo truck, crane truck and snow plow.

:toy: Awesome! Not to often one gets to see a Lancia Esadelta truck. :) Even more awesome, I used to have one of these in my collection. As I have downsized over the years it went to a collector who liked auto transport trucks. These were great models from Polistil in their Penny series and as you note...very easy to get addicted to.

Bravo. Nice truck with many toy appeal features. I like the solid build. Loaded with older classic cars would make a great shelf display. :)

Lancia and truck, referring to the same vehicle. Not something I'd believe until I saw this model from another thread.


It is definitely a good looking truck, and I especially like the full function of the car carrier deck.

Support your local demo derby.

That's a rarity to find in any condition from my limited understanding on the brand.

I currently have all of my Penny's displayed together, with contrasting green and yellow cars to match the colors of the trailer, and it does look pretty good if I do say so myself.

That Lancia Transporter has eluded me so far...had one in my sights but too rich for my wallet (unless maybe a birthday present...). Gorgeous!

I was able to add a couple Penny car models to my collection recently, and am thrilled to have stumbled upon them. I've not ever seen one of these Lancia trucks before this feature, and it is cool to see it here!
