Seller's comments about 1959' Lancia Appia SIII Berlina
The Lancia Appia is a passenger car introduced in 1953 by the Italian car manufacturer Lancia as a replacement for the Ardea, and remained in production for ten years. The Appia was the last in a long line of Lancia production cars dating back to the Lancia Lambda (introduced in 1922) that used a sliding pillar front suspension. All three series produced had a 1089cc Lancia V4 engine.
Third series:
In March 1959, the third series Appia was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show with a new front end. Lancia's traditional shell-style radiator grille was finally abandoned in favor of a horizontal one inspired by the flagship Lancia Flaminia. Engine power was again increased to 48 hp, as was top speed, to 132 km/h (82 mph). The brake system was improved with dual front drum brakes and a "Duplex" dual hydraulic circuit during the 1960 model year. The model designations were different from the previous two series: 808.807 for the LHD variant and 808.808 for the RHD variant. In the third iteration, the Appia finally reached maturity and 55,577 sedans were made, the vast majority of which were left-hand drive.
The Lancia Appia that we offer here was recently imported from Italy. A very nice thing about this car is that there are still several Italian documents with the car!
The Appia now has a Dutch license plate.
The white paintwork of the car is neat, of course you will find some traces of use after 65 years. The interior is still completely original.
