AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN HIGHLIGHT:
• Electric conversion duly homologated and noted on the registration certificate
• Historic 1949 model with original right-hand drive
• Keeps the historic Italian black plates of first registration (Napoli province)
• Automatic transmission paired with zero-emission propulsion
STORY/PANORAMIC:
Presented at the end of 1939, the Lancia Ardea represented a masterpiece of engineering miniaturization inspired by the famous Aprilia, marked by unibody construction, front independent suspension, and an extreme elegance of lines. The proposed example, first registered in Italy on 01/01/1949 and equipped with right-hand drive, was the protagonist of a singular transformation with electric traction, regularly recorded in the registration documentation and paired with an automatic transmission. The car retains its Italian period black plates bearing the Napoli code.
BODYWORK/PAINT:

INTERIORS:

MECHANICS:
The car is equipped with an electric powertrain paired with an automatic transmission, regularly updated and shown on the registration booklet.

DOCUMENTS:
Information missing or insufficient in the text or in the seller’s photos.
The car is viewable and collectible in Reggio Emilia, by appointment.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
