True Roadster: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider America

1-of-24: 1992 Lancia Hyena Zagato

Italian Boxer Engine: 1963 Lancia Flavia Pininfarina Coupé
Prominent on the flanks of the Lancia Flavia above are the initials “HF” – letters profoundly significant to Lancia, its history, and the Flavia coupé. Lancia was founded in 1906 by two racers, Vincenzo Lancia and Claudio Fogolin. Despite… more»
Unrestored 1958 Lancia Aurelia B24S Cabriolet
Lancia’s Aurelia was a kaleidoscope of models, from the slightly frumpy B10 to the luminous Spider America. Not only did the sheet metal change, but Lancia was ever in self-improvement mode, tinkering around the edges of its unique solutions… more»
Rare Vignale Convertible: 1959 Lancia Appia

Three Lancia Beta Coupes For $1,200
It’s rare to see even one Lancia Beta coupe, but this vendor in Gardendale, Texas has put three of them for sale as a package on Craigslist. The “bundle deal” is a mere $1,200, and you’d be nuts to… more»
One Owner Example: 1976 Lancia Scorpion

Sidelined Project: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1.3 Sport
Well, so long as we are talking about “Lancias”, let’s talk about a real Lancia. Okay, no, not a Spider America, and yes, admittedly from the post-FIAT era of Lancia – but something that has the same genetic inventiveness… more»
Minor Needs: 1976 Lancia Scorpion 2.0L Five-Speed
A shocking thing has happened. The previously disrespected Lancia Scorpion has begun to beguile collectors. Now I know I am going to hear some arguments about how great this car is/was, but I like to listen to markets, and… more»

These mid-engine Lancia Beta Montecarlos are better known—and command higher prices—in Europe than in the U.S. Here, they’re an oddity, but a rather attractive one. If you do cotton to a Montecarlo two-seater, this is a very good choice…. more»
