'Notchback'-styled Series II cars came with a lengthened wheelbase and more power (up from 38 to 43bhp) while the final (third) series boasted further styling revisions and 48bhp. Complementing the standard Appia saloon was a series of limited edition models produced on a separate chassis and bodied by leading

, Pinin Farina being responsible for the coupé, Vignale the cabriolet, and Zagato the GT coupé. Engine power was increased to 53bhp for these more sporting Appias which, when equipped with lightweight coachwork, could touch 100mph.
This Appia Lusso (Luxury) two-door saloon was purchased from an online auction in 2007 and comes with the purchase invoice. The car was then stripped and repainted in 2010-2011, and the brightwork re-chromed.
Ahead of sale, the fuel pump and hoses have been replaced; the carburettors rebuilt; the fuel tank cleaned; new spark plugs; new brake hoses and brake cylinder; and a new battery fitted. We would advise close inspection of the car before returning to the road for regular use.
Additional documentation consists of a list of works carried out between 2007 and 2011; copies of old Netherlands registration documents; copies of the old Autovettura; and customs paperwork.
