The Appeal

The Lancia Appia had become a hit straight out of the gate; so it was only natural that the Turin marque would work on a commercial iteration of the platform. Introduced a year after the sedan, the Furgoncino was hand-built, compact and mechanically simple - stylish yet undeniably practical for small businesses to tote their wares.

This particular 1955 example was first owned by a Tuscan farmer who used it to transport cereals across the region's hilly terrain. Finished in gray with brown seats, it retains its original documents and registration plates. While it requires a complete restoration, the vendor reports that the floors and underbody offer a fine starting point. A second spare engine, complete with gearbox, is included alongside the unit already fitted. For the restorer seeking a rare and rewarding Italian commercial, we're sure this will fit the bill.
