We must admit that, if until 4-5 years ago finding some Appia Zagato for sale was a recurring event, for a couple of years now we have been seeing very few of them. The specimen covered by this article is, moreover, a particular version. It is in fact one of the very few that have… Read More An early one: 1957 Lancia Appia GT by Zagato
We don’t often publish cars like this one, not because it doesn’t deserve it, but because they are very rare. In fact, all Flaminia Convertibles are rare, but in the 2.8-liter version, only 180 were built and who knows how many of them survive to this day. probably, in percentage terms, much more than the… Read More Accessible rarity: 1968 Lancia Flaminia Convertible 2.8 by Touring
Some time ago we published another example of Lancia Esatau, but in that case it was a “civil” version, among other things very well restored.

This car, with an elegant but very sober appearance, has two great fathers: Vittorio Jano and Francesco De Virgilio. Many of you know the first of the two, known for having designed the legendary Alfa Romeo P2 and P3 for the team headed by Enzo Ferrari, the second for being the father of the V6… Read More Father to son: 1953 Lancia Aurelia B10
When it came out of the body shop on the outskirts of Milan, this Flaminia built by Touring had the typical colors for this model: Lancia blue on the outside and parchment-colored leather on the inside.
