Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome spoke Borrani wheels, Nardi package with twin Webers, woodrim steering wheel, side curtains, jack, wheel wrench.

Condition

From the Craig McCaw collection. Straight panels other than the trunk lid, which is slightly misaligned. The paint has some checking but still presents very well. Very good glass and chrome. Excellent interior. Clean engine bay. Cosmetically restored in the early 1990s, although it looks newer.

Market commentary

Sold by RM in Monterey in 2007 for $550,000, then here in 2013 for $825,000. Considering the passage of three years since then the price is up a negligible amount and the car is still in excellent condition, perhaps even better than it was then. The Spider America may be the most desirable of all series-produced Lancias, a great ride for vintage events and tours with outstanding Pinin Farina design.
