AI Listing Summary
This Lancia Aprilia saloon, originally owned by a war hero, has been extensively restored and prepared for historic rallying, though never used. It features a pale blue metallic exterior with a medium blue leather interior (currently with Mazda MX-5 seats), and is reported to be in beautiful running order, retaining its current splendour since 2005.
Condition

The car has been extensively restored and well-preserved in dry storage, which suggests careful maintenance. The paintwork is recent and in lovely order except for one small dent. The interior is well-maintained with medium blue leather, but it has Mazda MX-5 seats, suggesting some modification from the original. Overall, the description points to a car that is in very good condition but may require minor reconditioning to return to its original state.
