Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare 1958 Lancia Appia GTE, one of only 167 first-series models, with a unique history of being sold new by Max Hoffman in New York. It's pale blue, was part of the Anna-Lisa collection, and while it shows patina and the engine isn't blocked, it needs mechanical restoration, making it a restoration project with significant collector appeal.

Condition
6
The car requires mechanical restoration before being driven again, and while the interior shows a 'delicious patina of time,' it also indicates wear. The exterior has been repainted, suggesting some level of imperfection that needed addressing. These factors suggest a condition that is 'Good' but needing some reconditioning.

Of course, the Appia saga is not limited to sedans.
In addition to the 99,000 Appia sedans, nearly 8,000 special models were produced.
Among them, utility vehicles but also coupes and cabriolets.
Independent coachbuilders such as Pinin Farina, Vignale, Allemano, Ghia, Boano or Como offered their models.
True to its reputation, in 1956 Zagato presented its first prototype coupe directly intended for competition.
It was the first in a series of four Zagato-built Appia Coupes.
In the great tradition of the company, they offered a body that took the form of an aluminum skin - with the typical double bubble roof on the first version - stretched over a boxed steel chassis, for a contained weight.
The first Appia coupe by Zagato was named GTZ, followed by the GT 2+2 and the Sport.
