The history of the Lancia could be divided into three major chapters: Refinement, competitions and decline. This Aprilia is definitely part of the first chapter. In fact, as often happened before the Second World War, a large part of Lancia production was limited to the “bare” chassis which obviously included the engine, transmission and suspension.… Read More The first chapter: 1939 Lancia Aprilia Bilux by Farina
The worst choice you can make for a classic car is to try to restore it in your garage: we have seen so many undergo this choice, and in very few cases it has gone well. This rare B24 Spider (chassis # B24S 1154) is not one of those successful cases: as almost always happens,… Read More Rotten but not forgotten: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider
There are many books on every Lancia model built before the war, and the reason is simple: it is difficult to find even just two cars that are identical in every detail. This happened basically for two reasons: the first is related to the fact that these were cars built mainly to order by wealthy… Read More Exposed bones: 1934 Lancia Artena Series III 228C
Ok we certainly know the Lancia Lambda, not only for the number of its variants but above all for the innovative contribution it has made to the global automotive industry. One thing that speaks for all: it was the first car with a monocoque construction; and we believe that this is enough to show how… Read More Aluminium torpedo: 1920 Lancia Lambda Siluro
The light work vehicles produced 50 or 60 years ago in Italy were not exclusive to Fiat, but also to the most refined Lancia. They too helped Italy in the post-war economic recovery. In our case, these are two installations carried out on a common platform: that of the Lancia Ardea, a medium-high class sedan… Read More Two trucks: 1952 Lancia Ardea 800 van and pickup
We know well that, unlike other markets such as the American one, European cars, especially Italian, did not offer many paid options in the 1950s and 1960s, which is why we were interested in this Flaminia. The first reason for our interest is certainly the state: the dealer says that this car is a survivor,… Read More Loaded: 1963 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pinnfarina
This rare Appia Sport is said to be available to the public for the first time after 40 years during which it was owned by only one person. This person is (or was, we did not understand) a producer known in the studio environment, Arthur Vitarelli, it seems that among his productions there were titles… Read More Producer’s car: 1963 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
The last evolution of the sports cars built by Zagato on a Lancia Appia base is the Sport, also known as “swb” and, apparently, designed by Ercole Spada. Swb as the wheelbase had been shortened by 16cm but, apart from that, this model also differed aesthetically in other aspects including the front and other details… Read More Red and low: 1961 Lancia Appia Sport by Zagato
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
