Here's an amazing photograph of a German-registered Lancia taken in front of a crowd of spectators at some sort of motorsport event, possibly at Berlin's AVUS racetrack. A fellow wearing a leather coat and goggles can be seen at the wheel of the right-hand drive car, with a riding mechanic beside him. Note the policeman in the right of the picture dressed in a typical 1920s German "SchuPo" uniform. A second race car can be seen behind the Lancia, so apparently the cars are being driven back to parc fermé.
If anybody can supply more information on this photo, please drop me a line.

A company of four posing in an open-top Lancia in a city street on a rainy day. in the background, a large neo-classical building can be seen. This is the front side of a German postcard sent from Oberstein (today: Idar-Oberstein) to the town of Gernsbach (near Baden-Baden) in 1927. The prestigious two-tone Lambda must have been a rare sight on the roads of 1920s Germany.
