Lancia Aprilia Series 1 Type 239 Transformable, from the Marc de Bruin collection, one of the 200 built.
Designed and manufactured by Pininfarina under the complete supervision of Vincenzo Lancia.
The close collaboration between the two heads of the companies resulted in a particularly beautiful and well-executed car.
Restored in the 1990s, its overall solidity can be appreciated, along with the efficient mechanics equipped with Lancia’s first V4 engine, the original and attractive Metron gauges, the beautiful paint, and the elegant interior, typical characteristics of Lancia.
We are in possession of the complete fascinating history of the vehicle, which we summarize briefly here:
First registered in 1939, it crossed Italian borders to Monaco in 1947, then temporarily transferred to Denmark by the same owner. After various events, including being sold to the son of the artist Borge Bich and paid for with three paintings by Jacobsen, the Aprilia returned to Italy and was restored to its correct two-tone color scheme according to factory specifications.
View and test drive available at our premises by appointment.
