NOTE This splendid car was fully restored in 2019 and has only driven a few kilometers from the end of the works.
The restoration respected the original color configuration and is equipped with the correct engine.
The work was carried out with great care both of mechanics and of bodywork and upholstery.
This is a very difficult model to find in such excellent condition because collectors are unlikely to invest so much money in such a high quality restoration.
With the execution of this custom-built, Vignale brilliantly managed to propose features that make this model particularly attractive.
The elegant line in classic Italian style, the seats for the rear passengers that allow to transport the whole family comfortably, the easy-to-operate and totally retractable top to keep the line of the tail streamlined, finishes and details that are decidedly luxury for a convertible of the era.
This third series model is also the one with the brightest engine.
The proposed model was sold new in Milan and has never left the area, maintaining the original black plate of the time.
The white color with the red interior enhance the elegance and sportiness of the model.
It is equipped with a tailored white Lancia branded car cover, a rare Autovox radio of the time, battery switch, new Vresdstein tires with white walls.
In November 2019, at the end of the restoration, it obtained ASI approval with the release of the gold plate.
The mileage of 29,000 km is believed to be the car's original one before the restoration.
