Elegance, purity and innovation: these are the 3 guidelines that Pininfarina follows to create the concept car that aims the relbirth of its brand. Under the creative direction of designer Fabio Filippini, the Cambiano was created in 2012, an award-winning showcar with classic and clean lines with innovative solutions and an interior with a little bit of Venice inside.
This 1950 Lancia Aurelia B50 Coupé is one of the 3 ‘fuoriserie’which Lancia included in its official price lists. Built in only 5 specimens, it is kept by the collector Paolo Milini in “The Box”, a set of structures that also includes a restaurant called Olio.
The well-known collector Emilio Lacchio presents us this one-off Lancia Aprilia Cabriolet with Bertone bodywork designed by Mario Revelli di Beaumont. After a careful restoration, a particular paintjob emerged which is connected to the Novara sports team.
To celebrate more than two centuries of experience Morgan Motor Company will collaborate with Pininfarina on a vehicle to be unveiled in 2024.
Morgan’s historic headquarters, is located in England, on Pickersleigh Road near Malvern Link in Worcestershire. This is the only place in the world where Morgans are built, all unique cars assembled by hand using ash wood, aluminum and leather. From the union of this craftsmanship with Pininfarina’s style we expect a lot.
For now there are no further details, as they will be announced in 2024 during Morgan’s 115th year, however, along with the release was released the cover image, a kind of “postcard” of what it will be, a glimpse of the past combined with modern design in very deep colors that evoke tradition and elegance.
Since each Morgan is handmade to order, it is safe to assume that this special Morgan by Pininfarina already has a collector waiting for it. We will know more in the coming months, in the meantime let’s read with attection what Massimo Fumarola, CEO of Morgan Motor Company, said:
“Bodywork is the very essence of creating a car, and it is something we have nurtured and protected at Morgan. We have found that working by hand and not through automation and letting the heart of the creator shape a line or object is what allows the spirit of our company to shine. For us, bodywork also has an ethical significance. Making something with our hands allows us to fully understand and appreciate raw materials and to respect the environment in which they are created. Bodywork is not constrained by trends and boundaries, as we are discovering through this collaboration. The shared passion between Morgan and Pininfarina is evident and we look forward to sharing much more with our community in due course.”
