Not Blankevoort, and it didn't just use the Lancia engine

Presumably also a Lancia chassis?

Was it raced as well as being used on the road?

Just a nice road car, I think.

Body by Schutter & van Bakel ?

As far as I know no known professional coachbuilder was involved. It is homebuilt.

As is often the case I came across this car whilst researching for something quite different.

It's called the Arila Special and is based on a Lancia Appia. The car was completed in 1962 by Arie van der Hoeve.
The car's exterior exhaust appears to have been re-routed underneath.

Well found, another point for you.

I don't know too many things about this racing special. Therefore I offer a point for the donor (make, model, year) and an extra point if you can tell me who built it - with proof

Lancia base?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #38 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:34:44 AM »

this won't earn a lock

Keep going

richard fridd · « **Reply #39 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:03:03 AM »

Aprilia?

Sliding Pillar though? Appia?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #42 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:47:03 AM »

lancia appia it is - now all I need is a year. Locked for you

richard fridd · « **Reply #43 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:58:07 AM »

1962?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #44 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:58:50 AM »

older

richard fridd · « **Reply #45 on:** February 10, 2013, 07:03:31 AM »

Is this the Arila Appia Special which was at "post war classics" which was quoted incorrectly perhaps as 1962?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #46 on:** February 10, 2013, 11:13:44 AM »

Richard, you are only millimeters away from getting two points. Tell me its builder and you get two points. It is very easy now. Still locked for you

richard fridd · « **Reply #47 on:** February 11, 2013, 04:02:51 AM »

Aeie van de Hoeve?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #48 on:** February 11, 2013, 04:50:35 AM »

Richard, I am very happy to award you two points. I only knew this as a 1957 Lancia Appia special, so your added information is very much appreciated. But you may be right and the donor may have been built in 1962 after all
