Everything matches: 1960 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato

The Lancia Appia Sport Zagato is widely regarded as one of the purest expressions of post-war Italian coachbuilding. Built on the Appia’s advanced narrow-angle V4 platform, Zagato clothed it with an exceptionally light aluminium body that combined elegance with genuine sporting intent. Production was extremely limited, and cars retaining their original mechanical components, documentation and… Read More Everything matches: 1960 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato

Unusual version: 1960 Lancia Appia Lusso Coupé by Vignale

The Appia was Lancia’s smaller post-war car, but as often with Lancia the more interesting examples are not the standard saloons. The Vignale-bodied Appia Lusso sits in a different category: coachbuilt, more refined in detail, and far less common than the regular factory versions. A 1960 example with black Padova plates is therefore worth attention,… Read More Unusual version: 1960 Lancia Appia Lusso Coupé by Vignale

Blue under the skin: 1961 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

We don’t know what kind of experiment the person who repainted this Appia Convertibile many years ago had in mind, but one thing is certain: they would have done better to leave its original color, Azzurro Vincennes, a classic shade of the era, particularly favored by Lancia and Maserati. This yellow (or what’s left of… Read More Blue under the skin: 1961 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Trailer included: 1955 Lancia Appia Furgoncino

The beauty of classic cars is that they were often “reworked” to be adapted to the most diverse uses: from the plumber’s van to racing assistance, such as this Appia. Now, we don’t know if this particular car was actually born to be purchased and used by a racing team (in this case “Scuderia Morandi”),… Read More Trailer included: 1955 Lancia Appia Furgoncino

Special wagon: 1957 Lancia Appia Giardinetta by Viotti

Even if it seems to you that the line of this car is quite well known, it is likely that you are confused with a Fiat: but this is not. It is in fact one of the few Lancia Appia transformed by Viotti for a more “practical” use: despite this, the car has only two… Read More Special wagon: 1957 Lancia Appia Giardinetta by Viotti

Red & white: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Just a few weeks ago we released this Appia Convertible, underlining the fact that being a two-seater it was a very rare car. Well now you can see what it would look like once restored. This is a very first series, even built in 57, which still seems to have its original black “Torino” plates:… Read More Red & white: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Distant wheels: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato

We have already seen an Appia in its convertible version, so there is nothing wrong with seeing one converted by Zagato. It is in fact a GTE, characterized by the longer wheelbase of its “Sport” saddles and by a general greater resemblance to its big sister, the Flaminia built by Zagato which in common has… Read More Distant wheels: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato

Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Ok, we imagine that at first glance you may look at this ad and think “What am I supposed to do with this wreck?” This question would make perfect sense if the car in question was an Appia Convertible belonging to the third series, this instead belongs to the second series and this means three… Read More Unusual stuff: 1957 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale

Subtle coachbuilt: 1958 Lancia Appia Berlina by Vignale

When Italian classic car enthusiasts hear the name “Appia Vignale” they naturally think of the convertible version: they would be surprised to see this sedan instead. We collected out thoughts but this actually seems to us the first time we see this model offered for sale: we remember having seen it in a book about… Read More Subtle coachbuilt: 1958 Lancia Appia Berlina by Vignale

One family rig: 1958 Lancia Appia Cassonato

It hasn’t been long (about a month) since we last released a similar vehicle, but to be honest we don’t mind repeating ourselves as this one seems in better condition than the first one. Apart from the rarity of the vehicle, obviously, with regard to this Appia it is worth pointing out that – according… Read More One family rig: 1958 Lancia Appia Cassonato
