  • Lightweight aerodynamic aluminium Zagato coachwork
  • One of the most desirable Appia variants
  • Present ownership since 2019

Complementing the saloon was a series of limited edition models on a separate chassis bodied by leading carrozzeria: Pinin Farina being responsible for the coupé, Vignale the cabriolet, and Zagato the GTE coupé. Power was eventually increased to 60bhp for these more sporting Appias which, when equipped with Zagato's lightweight, aerodynamic coachwork, could touch 160km/h. Three different series of GTEs were made, including 167 cars with covered headlights and 144 with recessed open headlamps. Zagato's GTE coupé is one of the rarest and most desirable of Appia variants and typical of their work of the period. This example was purchased by our vendor in 2019 (invoice available) and comes with Italian registration documents and an instruction manual.

L'un des 167 exemplaires à projecteurs carénés 1959 Lancia Appia Berlinetta GTE Série III Carrossée par la Carrozzeria Zagato Châssis n° 2757

  • Carrosserie Zagato aérodynamique, allégée, en aluminium
  • L'une des plus séduisantes versions de l'Appia
  • Propriété de son vendeur depuis 2019
  • Documents d'immatriculation italiens La nouvelle petite berline de Lancia, l'Appia, fut présentée en 1953. La tradition d'innovation de la firme se retrouvait dans son moteur hyper-compact, un V4 de 1 089 cm3 à angle fermé, dont les soupapes en V, implantées dans des chambres de combustion hémisphériques, étaient actionnées par deux arbres à cames montés dans le bloc-cylindres.

La berline se complétait de quelques modèles produits en série limitée sur un châssis séparé carrossé par les plus grands : le coupé Pinin Farina, le cabriolet Vignale et le coupé GTE Zagato. Ces Appia plus sportives recevaient un moteur porté à 60 ch qui permettait à la carrosserie légère et aérodynamique de Zagato d'approcher les 160 km/h. il y eut trois séries de GTE, dont 167 exemplaires avec des projecteurs carénés et 144 avec des projecteurs découverts et encastrés. Le coupé GTE de Zagato, typique de ses réalisations de l'époque, est l'une des Appia les plus rares et les plus séduisantes.

Cet exemplaire, acheté par son vendeur en 2019 (facture disponible), est proposé muni des ses documents d'immatriculation italiens et de sa notice d'utilisation.
