Description
The Lancia Aprilia was presented to the public during the thirtieth edition of the Paris Mondial de l'Automobile in October 1936.
The first series of the Lancia Aprilia was produced from 1937 to 1939 in 10,354 units, including sedans with normal and Lusso trim levels, as well as 4,350 chassis intended for custom bodies, such as the famous Pininfarina design.
Two years after the start of production, the Second Series was introduced, featuring an increase in engine displacement to 1,486 cc while maintaining the same power and improving engine flexibility and maximum speed.
The car maintained a strong presence in the market until the final days of production and, in competitions, dominated the Touring class up to 1500 cc for years: it even claimed victory at the 1947 Mille Miglia thanks to its powerful acceleration and excellent road handling.
The car we are offering, in "Lusso" trim with a 1352 cc engine, is in excellent condition, well-preserved both externally and internally, consistently serviced and regularly maintained. It's registered in the Lancia Historical Register, eligible for the Mille Miglia, and ready to drive.
