Current market value

[Rebecca]

Hello! I am a long time Appia owner. This particular car has been in our family since 1971. I am the current custodian of the car, since 1997. I have an interested buyer and I want to be sure the price asked/offered is a solid one. I have a photo of the car I can e-mail and be more specific about its history. The master cylinder needs a rebuild and the temperature sending unit is non op. Other than that, it is a good, clean example. If anyone can advise on current market value, I would be most appreciative.

With Kind regards,
Rebecca Hale

It all depends on which Appia model you've got, and what condition it's in. Which Appia is it? and what year?

Thank you for replying. My Lancia is a 1956 Series II. It is in very good condition physically and mechanically although the master cylinder needs rebuilding and the temp sending unit does not work. The paint job was done 25+ years ago in laquer, before it was band in CA (where it has lived before, during and after it's restoration and proper storage). The chrome work throughout is in FABULOUS shape. The interior is done in a light grey wool with naugahyde trim. The door panels are soiled and faded and the head liner has started to pull away at the windscreen trim. Some of the rubber weather stripping has deteriorated, but the kit is there to replace all. One hub cap is slightly wrinkled and heavily scratched, all the others are perfect. I have a photo taken at Laguna Seca Raceway in 2003 if that helps further to determine a ball park scale market value.
Thannks again for any help you may be able to provide.
