Just trawling Donedeal.ie, came across this Aprilia, can anyone shed any light on its history?

There's also a RHD Ardea on same site.

No connection to either seller

On going through the photos, noting the front seat belt installation, anyone tried same on an Aurelia berlina?

Violet 'Midge' Wilby was a well-known pre-war rally driver, usually with a Frazer Nash, but she used the Aprilia in the 1938 Monte Carlo Rally. She was also a director of Atalanta Cars and competed in these cars too.

I too would be interested in details of the the belts and their fixing; my wife is unhappy travelling in the Appia because of the lack of belts - it would help me to keep the car!
