The Lancia Appia Zagato is a one-off car produced since 1956, with the parent Appia “cammello,” which got its name from the various humps on the roof and hoods, typical of Zagato. Later, production continued with the various GTs, which unlike the first one built, had only two humps on the roof and two fins on the rear fenders. The mechanics were the same as the standard Lancia Appia, but had a more powerful engine. The GTs, or long wheelbase cars, were built until December 1958, later making way for the GTE. During their production, however, three prototypes were in turn bodied, specifically chassis 1875,2130 and 2131. They were different from the other cars in the same series. Aesthetically they had a very similar front to an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Veloce Zagato, while the rear was the same of the following Alfa Romeo Giulietta SZ round tail. Given the race usage of the car, the interior was typical Zagato but the only one with double slits (seat and back). The windows except for the windshield were all lexan. Noticeable is the absence of the heater, the Nardi steering wheel and the oversized fuel tank. After all these peculiarities it can be deduced that these were three prototypes set up just for racing. This Lancia Appia GT Zagato is the first of the three prototypes built and the only one that survived, that is the 1875 chassis. It was built in April 1958 and the first owner was Elio Zagato himself and this was his personal car. This was unusual, since usually, the cars “Bred” raced with were all registered to Carrozzeria La Zagato. He used it to run a few races and then sold it the following year. The car passed through various hands, such as Francesco Prioglio and Edoardo Doratti, also drivers and both from Trieste. Then in 1961 it raced with the Brescian driver and tuner Domenico Ogna and ceased its sporting activity that very year, wandering then to Rome and arriving in Pistoia where in 1975 it ended up in the hands of a collector and gentleman driver who used it in historic car races until 1981, later being parked in a garage until 2023. Over the years the car has put together the following palmarès: 1958 Coppa San Marino – Elio Zagato 6 Ore Esso Vallelunga – Elio Zagato Trento Bondone – Elio Zagato Giro delle Calabrie – Elio Zagato Coppa Intereuropa – Elio Zagato 1959 Stallavena Boscohiesanuova – Francesco Prioglio Coppa San Marino – Francesco Prioglio Coppa S.

Ambroeus – Domenico Ogna Stallavena Boscochiesanuova – Domenico Ogna Coppa Ascari – Domenico Ogna Trofeo Lumezzane – Luigi Gino Ogna As of today the car is in a red color, obviously different from the various liveries it has had in the years it has raced. And its condition is totally restored. The interior is still the original, preserved, with the addition of the fire extinguisher, as per the 80′ historic car racing regulations. Despite it has raced at least 21 races, this Appia still mounts its original equipment engine. Mechanically functioning, however, it needs a general overhaul though. The car has Italian license plates and documents.
