Title: A solid pre-war Lancia for sensible money Post by: williamcorke on 11 December, 2015, 02:20:33 PM At least that's what it looks like in the photos.
2nd Series Ardea for 2,500 Euros. Must be tempting for someone? It's even got a roof rack. No connection to seller. http://ww3.autoscout24.it/classified/281489239?asrc=st|as (http://ww3.autoscout24.it/classified/281489239?asrc=st|as) (http://pic1.autoscout24.net/images-big/239/489/0281489239001.jpg?2ceab7f13f971449946505129ec9b08a) Title: Re: A solid pre-war Lancia for sensible money Post by: mikeC on 11 December, 2015, 05:23:02 PM But surely a Second Series makes it post-war?
edit: 7247 makes it quite a late Series 2 (numbering ended at 8430) so this one probably dates from 1947. Title: Re: A solid pre-war Lancia for sensible money Post by: williamcorke on 11 December, 2015, 10:08:55 PM I did wonder if the pre-war date and 2nd series description were at odds. None of the photos shows whether the rear window is split or not.
Title: Re: A solid pre-war Lancia for sensible money Post by: mikeC on 12 December, 2015, 09:47:17 AM It will have the split rear window; the pre-war Series One was the only version without a bootlid, the Series Two combined the split rear window with the bootlid, and Series Three onwards had the single rear window.

I don't think you could restore the red one for the £7500 (with delivery) price difference.

Title: Re: A solid pre-war Lancia for sensible money Post by: will on 13 December, 2015, 10:29:19 PM Ade you may be right but 10k is too cheap for a fully restored car even it Italy.
I been to Italy to collect cars with friends and the car is never as good as the photos. There was a very nice Ardea at the Turin show last year for the same money partially restored but running . With all the unique Ardea parts. My guess this is a quick blow over with plenty plastico and a cheap water based paint. Far too shinny not like it came out the factory Ade. In the English climate I give in 3 years in normally garage conditions perhaps a bit longer in an Air chamber. There are not enough photo to establish and check the car out properly does it have some of unique Ardea parts ? at least the one William has found is an honest car you can see the problems and there is roof rack.
