The Appeal
Introduced in 1977 as Lancia’s new flagship coupe, the Gamma was a beguiling piece of pure 80s design, with Pininfarina’s magic hands creating an executive car that felt sharp and with the times, boasting a unique character.
This example, highly original from top-to-bottom, makes for a great ambassador of the lesser-spotted, highly desirable model.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
