1953 Lancia Appia Series One For Sale

1953 Lancia Appia series 1 as seen and admired at this year’s Lancia AGM (Class Winner in 2015 and 2018). Excellent bodywork, one recent repaint in original Marrone (Brown), as far as I can tell never had any welding, all original interior in Panno Nocciola (Hazel wool-cloth) in excellent condition. I personally imported it from Vicenza in 2014 so showing only one owner on the UK V5C (DVLA-issued age-related number). I was told the 80, 000kms showing was original, but having worked on the car I doubt it – I’m sure it has been round the clock at least once!

I have replaced the engine and gearbox mountings, all new track-rod end components, fitted a new (NOS) heater unit and a complete rewire including rebuilt starter, dynamo and windscreen wiper motor, rebuilt the front window mechanism, fitted new door seals, etc. Unfortunately in spite of rebuilding the clutch and re-bushing the column gear-change linkage, the gear selection is still unpleasant – my conclusion is that the gearbox probably needs overhauling.

I’ve had enough! I like to drive my cars, not to work on them; I have managed only three or four hundred miles in the last two years, so it’s time for someone with more engineering skill than I have to take over. The car is still driveable - I did 180 miles round trip to the LMC AGM - but it is not right.

A unique chance to purchase a very smart early C10 Appia in right-hand drive – a rare car yet with excellent parts support – the price reflects the work still needed to get it in top condition (these regularly fetch around €20, 000 in Italy), and includes a photocopy (only) of the Italian registration document (VI 259228), a newly-issued Lancia Heritage Certificate, CD containing the Parts Catalogue (in Engish) and other documents, the original handbook in mint condition, and a very nice original sales brochure.

The Lancia Appia was a very expensive car when new - the UK price was more than a top-of-the-range Jaguar MkVI! - and boasted extensive alloy panelling and trim, narrow-angle V4 engine with twin camshafts, 4-door pillarless construction
