Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Black painted wire wheels, four wheel drum brakes, opening windshield

Condition

Body is worn and old and the chrome is quite dull. Oily engine compartment and aged but clean interior. Well-aged and charming appearance. Original engine, replacement gearbox, original rear axle. Unknown history before the Seventies, but restored at some point many years ago, a restoration which now has achieved the stature of patina.

Market commentary

Lancias have always been technically advanced, with sliding pillar independent front suspension, 4-wheel brakes and compact but powerful narrow angle vee engines. Those of this one's era are quick, rugged and reliable. This Lamba was offered at Bonhams Quail Lodge auction in 2014 with a reported high bid of $130,000 and even discounting that disappointment as a benchmark it is a terrific value at the price it brought here. The new owner should be very satisfied both with the Lancia and with the modest price paid for it.
