Description
The Lancia Appia is a saloon car launched in 1953 by the Italian car manufacturer Lancia to replace the Ardea. Production continued for ten years. The Appia was the last in a long line of Lancia production cars dating back to the Lancia Lambda (launched in 1922), which used a front suspension with sliding pillars. The three produced series were equipped with a 1, 089 cm³ Lancia V4 engine.
Third series:
In March 1959, the third series of the Appia was presented at the Geneva Motor Show with a new front end. The traditional Lancia shell-shaped grille was finally abandoned in favour of a horizontal grille inspired by the Lancia Flaminia, the brand’s flagship model. Engine power was increased again to 48 hp, as was the top speed, which reached 132 km/ h. The braking system was improved with the addition of front drum brakes and a Duplex dual hydraulic circuit on the 1960 model. The model designations differed from the previous two series: 808. 807 for the left-hand drive (LHD) version and 808. 808 for the right-hand drive (RHD). With this third generation, the Appia reached full maturity, and 55, 577 saloons were produced, the vast majority in left-hand drive.
The Lancia Appia we are offering here was imported from Italy.
One asset of this vehicle: it is still accompanied by several Italian documents!
The Appia now carries a Dutch registration. For our international clients, we can provide official export documents. We can also assist with transport.
For a special occasion, we’ve given it a superb rally look! A style that suits it perfectly; it does not go unnoticed!
