Lancia Appia Vignale Convertible, 1962.
Description from the seller
OVERVIEW/CONDITIONS
1962 Lancia Appia Vignale convertible, extremely rare and most elegant coachbuilt sports car derived from the Lancia Appia; together with Pininfarina and Zagato it represents one of the three Appia-based sports coachbuilt cars, with lines that recall the Flaminia. This example was originally delivered in the azure color Vincennes that Vignale also used on Maseratis and Ferraris, with a red leather interior. After the Aurelia B24, it is the second spider model of Lancia.
After a period of social prominence it was repainted in the current color and subsequently abandoned; the car still presents itself in an original-restoration state with a non-running engine, the wheels are free. It must be retrieved with a tow truck or trailer in the province of Turin, missing the front seats (these can be derived by modifying the sedan with split seats) and the radiator (a radiator will be provided to be adapted in height).
The car was found in the 1990s in a garage of a luxurious hillside villa after the sale of the property; it is a true barn find.
The car is missing plates and documents, so after restoration it must be re-registered as a historic vehicle.
Visible in Villastellone, Italy.

Disclaimer
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.
