This appears to be a rare coachbuilt shooting brake version of the Appia. Title: Re: Rare Appia Series Three Giardinetta on sale in Padua Post by: frankxhv773t on 25 April, 2024, 09:11:33 AM It's a whole lot better condition than the last one I saw for sale. Was it done by Viotti?

According to the Nada Editore reference book it weighed 1030kg 'in ordine di marcia', compared to 960kg for the standard third series, which does not sound an excessive weight gain for a body that size. The final drive is 9/43 compared to 11/46 so obviously it was conceived as a workhorse. The book says 300 were built in 1960-61. I find the staid but modern styling attractive.
