I'm not up on Aprillia prices but that does sound a bit on the heavy side, although equally also out of my pocket range!

Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: DavidLaver on 09 March, 2012, 01:03:14 PM By the size of it you'd think it had been converted to a Hybrid... I'm going to have to look at the photos I have of Aprilia interiors and work out how I missed it all these years.

David Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: Sliding Pillar on 09 March, 2012, 09:05:21 PM FLE 851 was most recently owned by Bob Polley, it had its engine rebuilt at Omicron and was then sold by European Classic Cars to the current vendor who has resprayed it green instead of the previous colour, black. The price is top end compared to recent sales lower in the £30K bracket, but in Italy they are often advertised for more.
Here are a couple of photos of it in the nineties and in 2000. Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: Sliding Pillar on 10 March, 2012, 11:24:36 AM This one is a bit cheaper... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1938-LANCIA-APRILIA-ARDENNES-/190650683471?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c63aa904f
Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: nic038 on 10 March, 2012, 11:52:54 AM yes, seen that one it looks a good project, looks in need of a bit of tidying up from the close up photo's, but hey nearly 28k less to do that with ;D
Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: Sliding Pillar on 13 March, 2012, 03:38:19 PM or there is this project http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page/163879/1939-lancia-aprilia/
Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: fay66 on 13 March, 2012, 06:40:45 PM or there is this project http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page/163879/1939-lancia-aprilia/ Big do it yourself kit! looks well worth the money, although it says believed to be complete there's no sign of the engine and gearbox ???

Most of the interior could be restored and as the body has been stripped, you can see exactly what needs to be done welding wise. The front and rear suspension units look fantastic, they have been totally rebuilt by Omicron.
Chugga would have the body done in no time at all, especially as he has had so much practice! ;D Title: Re: Ebay Aprilia Post by: Parisien on 13 March, 2012, 07:15:43 PM Beginning to look very....very keenly priced if you're handy with the welder/DIY aspect
