1963 Lancia Appia

This was one of the cars on display at the Footman James Classic Car Show Manchester at EventCity in September 2018.

It's a 1963 Lancia Appia Series III and has a 1,090cc V4 engine designed by Vittorio Jano. The Lancia Appia was introduced in 1953 and the Series I and II cars had the same shield-shaped grille of the Lancia Aurelia. The series III car was produced from 1959 to 1963 has the horizontal grille similar to the one first seen on the 1957 Lancia Flaminia, and has the Lancia badge inside a shield in the centre of the grille.

This is the description shown on the windscreen of the car at the Manchester show:

NB: Although this description shows that it's a 1963 car the DVLA record says that the year of manufacture was 1961, but these DVLA records are not always accurate.
