1948' Lancia Aprilia Convertibile

Regular visitors of our website know the very charming story of this one-off Aprilia Convertibile, coachbuilt as a demonstrator by Stabilimenti Farina for the Salone de Torino of 1948. A young mother sees this ravishing beauty on the Farina stand, and decides to buy it immediately. Sixty-four years later, the car is still in the same family, and we can convince the first owner's son to sell us the car. So from 1948 until 2012, this car has only had one owner!

Over the past five years, we have brought this car to concours condition. Together with our partners in Italy, a team of highly skilled craftsmen, this unique motor show car has been restored to its exact specifications, with no efforts spared. This restoration has been awarded an ASI Targa d'Oro, meaning that the highest level of originality and detail has been respected. The authenticity has also been recognised by FIVA, resulting in an A/3 category FIVA ID Card.

This Aprilia stands out from the crowd on many different levels. Behind the elegant bodywork, designed by a young Michelotti, you find the absolute eye-catcher of this car: its interior. It features several unique features that were intended to make the car stand out at this first post-war motor show in Italy: leather-covered dashboard and door panels with “Paglia di Vienna” behind plexi, fully transparent plexi knobs, a perfectly integrated Autovox radio... no wonder this Aprilia won the prize for “Most Elegant or Special Interior” at the 2016 Zoute Concours d'Elegance, out of 70 participating cars!
