The seller offers for sale a Lancia Appia Coupé Pininfarina Series III from 1959. This elegant two-door coupé is powered by a 1.1 liter four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission. The car benefits from bodywork refurbishment and repainting carried out in 2012, while the interior has been renewed using correct materials and is supported by conformity certification. Mechanical attention has included work on the braking system, replacement of ignition components, and fuel system servicing. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly, contributing to a pleasant and composed driving experience. It is described as suitable for longer journeys, while keeping in mind the age of the vehicle.
The Lancia Appia Coupé by Pininfarina represents a refined chapter in Italian automotive design of the late 1950s. Known for its compact dimensions, elegant proportions, and advanced engineering for its time, the Appia combined light construction with a smooth-running V4-based platform adapted here into a stylish coupé form. Pininfarina’s involvement gave the model a timeless appearance that remains appealing decades later. The Appia Coupé is appreciated for its balanced handling, comfortable ride, and understated elegance, making it a desirable choice for collectors who value Italian design, craftsmanship, and a rewarding classic driving experience.
