Hiawatha · October 19, 2013, 11:53:14 AM

It's a little outside my time frame.. Aprilia Pinin Farina 1938?

SACO · October 19, 2013, 02:47:18 PM

Doubtless an Aprilia ,but not by Pinin Farina !

Hiawatha · October 20, 2013, 04:41:52 AM

I'll try Bertone, if wrong and still locked, please unlock..

SACO · October 20, 2013, 07:10:35 AM

Not by Bertone !
Unlocked

I am probably way off here, but the car does have some ID characteristics of the coachbuilder Boneschi.
I have so far been unable to find this exact car, however.

If not that firm, at least we can eliminate one other possibility.

Non-Italian coach builder ?

SACO · October 22, 2013, 06:24:36 AM

Yes , Italian coach builder !

Hiawatha · October 22, 2013, 01:30:20 PM

Saco,
Are you sure about your source?
I did some more research on this one and found two pictures of what must be the same car entered as Trasformabile Touring su Lancia Aprilia at the " Concorso d'eleganza di Torino" in May 1938. On top of that the reversed door handle is typical Touring. The pictures are on a normally quite reliable period magazine.

Have you a picture of this car ?

Hiawatha · October 23, 2013, 07:46:52 AM

I am not in the place now where I have the magazines with the two pictures I mentioned. Also the magazines are bound in volumes and difficult to scan. I'll see what I can do in the next few days. Just for your info the pictures are on Motor Italia.

SACO · October 23, 2013, 08:27:13 AM

OK ! Locked for you !

Hiawatha · October 23, 2013, 08:32:41 AM

If it's indeed Touring, point should go to Jean Marie H, who was the first to mention the name..I just wanted to confirm.

SACO · October 23, 2013, 11:10:39 AM

Yes , locked for the pictures !
