Seller's comments about 1958' Lancia Appia
The Lancia Appia, a car that made its debut in 1953 at the prestigious Turin Motor Show. Positioned as the younger sibling of the acclaimed Lancia Aurelia and the worthy successor to the Lancia Ardea, the Appia set out to make its mark in the hearts of car enthusiasts worldwide. With each new series, Lancia honed and refined this classic, ensuring it lived up to its heritage.
The Appia's journey was characterized by continuous improvements across its three series. Under the hood, a spirited 1. 1-liter V4 engine roared to life, delivering 38 horsepower. In 1956, the second series was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, revealing not only subtle exterior enhancements but also significant changes under the bonnet. Lancia engineers worked their magic, elevating the power through meticulous adjustments to the compression ratio, cylinder head, carburetor, and camshaft. Additionally, they extended the wheelbase by 3 centimeters, enhancing cabin comfort and creating more storage space in the boot, truly marrying performance with practicality.
One of the most captivating aspects of the Appia's legacy was Lancia's decision to open the door for esteemed coachbuilders to work their magic on this exquisite platform. From the second series onwards, the Appia became a canvas for artistic and innovative interpretations. Coachbuilders like Zagato embraced the spirit of lightweight design and aerodynamics, Vignale crafted a luxurious 2-door masterpiece, and Pininfarina, synonymous with elegance, gave birth to a captivating 2-door 2+2 coupe.
Interior: Stepping into the Lancia Appia coupe is like taking a journey back in time to the golden era of Italian motoring. The interior exudes the true essence of prime Italy, from the texture of the dashboard to the meticulously crafted instrument gauges. This is a vintage masterpiece that has gracefully stood the test of time. As you gaze upon the interior today, you'll be amazed at how well-preserved it remains. Every detail inside the car has been properly maintained, reflecting the care and appreciation of its previous owners. The cloth seats, invitingly plush, offer great comfort. While the years have passed, the interior's allure remains intact. A delicate repair has been performed on the driver's seat, where the center section of cloth has been carefully replaced to ensure the continued beauty and integrity of the car
Exterior: When it comes to breathtaking designs, Pininfarina has an unparalleled reputation, and the Lancia Appia is no exception to this. Its beautiful lines show resemblance to many of the legendary Ferrari models to come. The car is finished in a two-tone navy blue over cream paint job that suits it perfectly. Today, the car still looks great, but imperfections are to be found throughout the paint job.
Engine and mechanics: Cruising in the Lancia Appia is an experience that soothes the soul and ignites delight. The V4 engine beneath the hood offers a seamless and dependable power delivery, ensuring a smooth and pleasant ride every time you hit the road. Paired with the four-speed manual gearbox, shifting through gears becomes a delightful and engaging affair, adding to the allure of this classic beauty. Settle into the comfortable seats, and you'll find yourself wanting to stay. The Appia's interior is designed to cocoon you in comfort, making every journey an enjoyable one. Whether you're embarking on a scenic road trip or navigating city streets, this vintage gem proves to be an exceptional cruiser.
History: The Lancia Appia Pininfarina coupe was registered in Sweden in 1958 and it has since had an array of owners who have cared for it. During this time, the car has also been sat to admire at two museums, Skokloster Bilmuseum and later Autoseum Skåne. Today, the Lancia Appia stands tall as a symbol of Italian automotive excellence, a timeless masterpiece born from a legacy of innovation and dedication. Its presence on the roads captures the spirit of a golden era of car production.
