Offered here is a beautifully restored 1959 Lancia Appia Convertible by Vignale, styled by Giovanni Michelotti. The car underwent an extensive bare-metal restoration between 2010 and 2019 by a respected Belgian Lancia enthusiast whose previous project was a Lancia Appia GTE Zagato. Since completion, it has covered just 260 km and is accompanied by extensive restoration photographs documenting every stage of the work.<\/p>\n

This example is built on the desirable Series 3 chassis, featuring the most advanced mechanical specification of the Appia range. Its 1,089 cc narrow-angle V4 has been upgraded with 68.4 mm Cavalitto sport pistons and the desirable 2S intake manifold, increasing output from the original 54 hp to approximately 60 hp. It also benefits from the Series 3 twin leading-shoe front brakes and Duplex split hydraulic braking system. In 2025, the fuel pump was replaced, the starter rebuilt, and the carburettor and ignition professionally serviced by a Lancia specialist.<\/p>\n

The restoration was carried out with great attention to quality while remaining faithful to the character of the original car. Finished in an elegant interpretation of Lancia Blu Medio, it features a tobacco brown leather interior with contrasting beige piping, a rare drilled-spoke Nardi wood-rim steering wheel, and a bespoke dark navy blue cloth soft top. A custom-made laminated Triplex Sekurit windscreen provides improved safety, while tailored quilted trim panels and bespoke carpets reflect the exceptional standard of craftsmanship throughout.<\/p>\n

For complete transparency, the engine number differs slightly from that listed on the Lancia Certificate of Origin, while the gearbox and differential numbers no longer match the factory records. Such changes are not uncommon on cars that have been extensively restored over more than six decades. Rather than a strict numbers-matching concours example, this is an exceptionally well-restored, thoroughly documented Appia intended to be enjoyed on the road.<\/p>\n

The car is offered with its Lancia Certificate of Origin, Belgian registration, an extensive photographic record of the restoration, parts invoices including those for the Cavalitto sport pistons, and the official 1957-1963 Lancia Appia colour chart.<\/p>\n

Rare, elegant and mechanically upgraded, this Appia Vignale represents a superb opportunity to acquire one of Italy’s most charming post-war convertibles in outstanding condition.<\/p>\n
