A friend is bringing a copy of the magazine back from Malaga for me...

This comes up on Google. Looks to be the same car with the aerial, the yellow fogs, the round arches & the angled outer driving lamps. Sticker positions look the same as well.
The sill line on this shot doesn't look to be a replica in the way we know it?
I guess you'll know more when you see the mag.

As far as I know, no works car ever ran with Pirelli colours and round arches.

Lancia kept an old 1975 24v car (old green bottom white top Alitalia colours originally) for demos etc.
It was painted in Pirelli colours, but no longer eligible.
Andy Dawson once drove it for a magazine article at Donington.

That's interesting. Maybe they are referring to a "replica" livery on an original car?

The only works round arch Pirelli car is the 24v TOL96265.
'Never used in anger in that colour scheme. It's outings were in 1975/76:
1975 San Remo 13th O/A - Munari
1975 Tour De Corse (accident) - Munari
1975 RAC (engine) - Munari
1976 Safari (engine) - Munari
Or at least a car with that number plate?!

1978 was the only year that the works cars ran in Pirelli colours and it was 2 valves per cylinder from 1978 onwards. So this 24v Pirelli car can't have been WC rallied, which probably explains why it was used for promotional and demo work.

The car can be seen on some colour pages, just after page 96 in the Trow book. It's a posed shot with some Lancia personnel and other Lancia Museum cars.
It was used for an article - 'Stratos on stage' included on page 65 of the LANCIA STRATOS 1972-1985 Brooklands Books compilation.
