Description
We are pleased to present this incredibly cute 1947 Lancia Ardea Furgoncino Van
–more photos to follow–
The Ardea was a small family car produced by Lancia between 1939 and 1953.
Its unusually short bonnet contained the smallest V4 configured engine ever commercialised in a small family car. After the Second World War, more than 8, 500 commercial adaptations of the Ardea known as Furgoncini (light van versions) and the Camioncini (car based light commercials) were also produced.
The Furgoncino, literally meaning, small van, had already been built in 1941, however, full production only begun in 1945.
This rare little gem is possibly, just one of only two Lancia Ardea Furgoncinos known in the UK.
This example, built in 1947, was imported into the UK from Italy and is now UK registered.
Presented as a restoration project, , the 903cc, V4 engine having been removed but has been running, spare engine accompanies the car along with two gearboxes
This charming van would make an ideal promotional vehicle or just a weekend runabout., your choice if you would like to concourse it or get it road worthy with leaving the original patina visible
V5C
No MOT!
Where would you find another.
