Ok that’s the first time that we realize that Viotti made a Giardinetta coachbuild also on the Lancia Appia platform. Indeed we wrongly believed that Viotti has built Giardinetta’s (Viotti’s trade mark for the station wagon bodies) only on Fiat platforms but just for this reason we have a further proof that in the classic cars… Read More New entry: 1960 Lancia Appia Giardinetta by Viotti
Actually we don’t know if this car is from 1962: for sure its birth year, if not 62, is very close as these cars were made from 57 to 63 but they had the “big” taillights only from 1959, when they began to be built by Viotti. Moreover, we believe to have spotted the number three… Read More Missing engine: 1962 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina
Lately it’s not easy to find interesting classic cars for sale, especially for picky guys like we are. However, luckily someone, many years ago, thought to leave cars like this in a barn, just to let them being discovered many years later. This 1962 Appia cabriolet was one of the few made by Vignale which… Read More Hibernated lady: 1962 lancia Appia Cabriolet by Vignale
Update, same day: This car has gone fast, sometimes the bird must be even earlier… When the Appia came out, many coachbuilders made a lot of style exercises on this platform, the most famous of them were for sure Pininfarina and Vignale: The Pininfarina coupè has for sure a sleeker line than this car which, however, still… Read More Two doors only: 1960 Lancia Appia Coupé By Vignale
The seller of this little racer has posted a photo of a Zagato bodied lancia Formula Junior: in our opinion that photo has nothing to do with the car auctioned. However it could be really a Dagrada racecar: Angelo Dagrada began to built these cars using a Lancia Appia 1100 engine with an head completely… Read More Racecar trivia: 1959 Lancia Dagrada Formula Junior
The seller says that this is a rare find in the U.S., and we agree with him. These were not officially imported in the U.S.A. and even then, they would have be too expensive, especially if compared with the huge american sedan competitors. However, this car need more than some work: the seller sasy that… Read More Matt black berlina: 1959 Lancia Appia Series II
Few words by the seller for describing this car (chassis #2890) which looks in almost desperate conditions. Indeed, if the body of this car wouldn’t be made in aluminium, at this point we would see just a pile of rust. But, as we all know, aluminium doesn’t rust but the steel floors do: it could… Read More Clown face: 1959 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato
The seller must be a Lancia Appia nut, however he’s now oriented in parting with his two Appia Convertibile: a 1959 without title and a 1961 which is more complete than the other one. Actually, as the seller says, you can make only one car from these two as one lacks of too many parts,… Read More Two is better than one: 1959/61 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
This yellow Appia GTE (chassis 81203-5076) is said to have been fully restored in 2004, including mechanical parts which have been overhauled by the actual seller. It was imported in UK from Holland (both countries have a special feeling with classic Lancia). This doesn’t seem a concours-level restored car but it actually looks good: we don’t… Read More Not so expensive: 1961 Lancia Appia GTE by Zagato
The Lancia Appia coupé was built on the chassis of the Appia 3rd series, starting from 1959. The previous series had different taillights but it was not much different from this car, especially the slanting lines of the roof were the same. Many don’t know that this series was built in the Viotti factory as… Read More Not many around: 1962 Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina
