The vendor has provided the following:

  • Very rare little car, has just been recommissioned by a Lancia specialist
  • Unique point: the 2 front doors are normal, the rear doors are suicide doors, and when open, there is no B pillar, so walk straight through
  • For authenticity, I have had the original number plates recreated. It was imported from a private seller in Florence; incidentally, the name we call her
  • I have had tremendous fun using the car locally and taking my wife to our excellent local Italian restaurant, causing conversation wherever it goes because of the rarity and some of the unique design features that only 1 / 2 the Italians can do properly
  • There are indicators fitted and the original trafficators are still here, they should be, all proper Lancia hub caps present and include a spare wheel (a proper one, they didn't do spacesavers in 1950)
  • Extensive work carried out on the propshaft joints, spring bushes, shock absorber bushes, in fact, it is all listed from the specialist with an invoice for over £8000.00 from August 2025
  • I also have the original handbook, documents to confirm its history, and includes old revision stickers, the ASI Certificate, the Automotoclub Storico Italiano, from the Federation Internationale Des Voitures Anciennes. All these details have been checked and verified by The Lancia Motor Club
