The Lancia Astura Cabriolet Farina chassis 33-3369

Vehicle Overview

The Lancia Astura Cabriolet Farina: The introduction of the Astura and Artena in 1931 marked a switch from a system of model designation that used letters of the Greek alphabet in favour of one using Italian place names, a move in keeping with the nationalistic spirit of the age. One of Lancia’s most important models, the Astura was powered by a new version of the familiar narrow-angle V8. The latter was enlarged from 2.6 to 3.0 litres on the Astura Series III in 1934 when the model also gained hydraulic brakes and became available in both short and long-chassis forms. The Series IV featured a platform chassis of longer wheelbase, attracting some of the finest coachwork of the period, and was used extensively as official transportation by Italian government departments. One of the foremost producers of bespoke coachwork on the Lancia Astura chassis was Stabilimenti Farina of Turin, the family firm that gave Battista ‘Pinin’ Farina his grounding in the coachbuilder’s art. A one off example, designed by Mario Revelli di Beaumont for Stabilimenti Farina, this 3rd Series Astura Cabriolet features in the book ‘La Lancia’ by Wim Oude Weernink. A saloon-bodied sister car of similar design is the property of the Museo Nicolis in Verona. This speciment was offered by Bonhams in 2014.
