Lancia Appia 1953
- Origin Italy
- Engine 1,089 cc, V4
- Top speed 75 mph (121 km/h)
Lancia’s small car of 1953 copied the style
of the bigger Aurelia. Its sliding pillar front
suspension harked back to Lancias of old,
and there was a live axle at the back, but
the engine was a new, narrow-angle V4.
Its high price meant sales were limited.
Great to see the Italian V4 goodness. Upvote!
