Sophisticated, stylish, and expensive, the Pinin Farina-designed Astura was Lancia’s premier luxury model during the Art Deco era. The car displayed all the right attributes: flowing lines, a whiff of flamboyance, and a fashionable aura that made it the choice of Italian dignitaries – including Mussolini, who used an Astura coupe as his government car. Produced from 1931 to 1939 in four series, the exquisite Astura was regarded as one of the most beautiful cars of its time. Fewer than 3,000 models were built with only 426 in the fourth series – all long-wheelbase versions.

Vehicle Overview

This Lancia Astura 4 Door Cabriolet Pininfarina has a rich history. It was originally purchased in 1938 and shipped to London for the Italian ambassador. The car was later acquired in Britain by Peter McAdam who retired to Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, in the late 1960s and brought the car with him. McAdam died soon afterward, and his nephew inherited the car. In 1971, he sold it to the previous owner, a Melbourne resident and Lancia aficionado. Dissatisfied with the restoration the car received in England, in 1972 he elected to restore the The Lancia Astura 4 Door Cabriolet Pininfarina from the ground up. Slowly but surely, the project took 30 years to complete.
