Presumably it will hardly turn a wheel, but then it's every bit as good as a Picasso or Van Gogh sitting on a wall.

Rather more Phoney and Flashy than the usual clean and discreet Farina lines but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Title: Re: Lancia Astura Cabriolet Series III Tipo Bocca by Pinin Farina at Sothebys Post by: mikeC on 19 February, 2017, 08:59:09 AM I think a darker colour would suit it better and allow the chrome detailing to show off the shape better, but as you say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I would be happy to have that in my coach-house!
Perhaps I'll just have to settle for a smaller version for €80!
