Known History

1949 LANCIA APRILIA PININ FARINA CABRIOLET.Actual UK Motor Show car 1949!.

Very rare opportunity to acquire one of the very elegant and stylish,Pinin Farina,coachbuilt Aprilia's.Exact build numbers are not known,but there weren't many and obviously fewer have survived!

Added to the rarity is the fact that the history file states this to be the very car that Lancia displayed on their stand at the 1949 UK Motor Show,which we'd assume was probably held at Olympia,London.It was also previously owned by one of the founding mmbers of the UK Lancia Motor Club.

 

In white with contrasting red leather interior,it is an older restoration,sound and useable,all the main mechanicals look to be in good order with a strong engine,lovely gearbox,good brakes,clutch and no propshaft vibrations.Bodywork is sound,the hood operates without issue and the interior has a nice patina to it.Gearbox rebuilt,recent brake work.Bodywork stripped to bare metal and restored circa early 1980's.

 

There is a large history file,with various correspondance from previous owners,bills,receipts and old mot's

 

Please enquire for further details and any inspection is welcome.
