The seller offers for sale this 1961 Lancia Appia Pininfarina Coupe MkIII, powered by a 1.1-litre V4 petrol engine and manual transmission. Delivered new in Madrid, it still retains its original Spanish registration and number plates. After being stored unused from 1987 to 2023, the car underwent a recommissioning including new brakes, fluids, carburetion adjustment, and other service items. It was repainted in 2018. The interior features its original leather upholstery with authentic patina, showing only a 5–6 cm crack on the driver’s seat, complemented by new carpets and rubber fittings. The dashboard is in good condition, and all indicators work properly. Mechanically, the car starts without issues, runs cleanly with no smoke or unusual noises, and the gearbox operates smoothly. Missing items include the driver’s side mirror and Appia badge on the trunk lock. This
The Lancia Appia, produced from 1953 to 1963, was the brand’s compact executive saloon and coupé range, admired for its engineering refinement and elegant design. The Pininfarina-bodied Coupé represented the most stylish and exclusive version, combining Italian craftsmanship with advanced features like the narrow-angle V4 engine. The MkIII, introduced in the early 1960s, offered improved power and refinement, and its rarity today makes it highly desirable among collectors. With only 304 examples built, this car represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most elegant post-war Lancias, prized for its originality and historical importance.
