The 1962 Lancia Appia Sport Zagato is a rare third-series short-wheelbase sports coupé bodied by Zagato to a design by Ercole Spada, whose flowing rounded lines echo the larger Flaminia Sport Zagato. Powered by a 1100cc V4 engine producing 60bhp via an enlarged Weber carburettor, the Appia Sport was highly competitive in Italian hillclimbs and rallies of its era. This example retains its original dark Lancia red livery with tan interior and underwent a full restoration in the Netherlands prior to its most recent ownership.
