- My latest purchase comes from Racer Anatoly Arutunoff, a 1960 Lancia Appia Zagato GTE series 1, today I do a bit of minor work to clean up the interior of this former Italian race car!

You did a wonderful job on this restoration! What a unique car to take to shows or drive around town. Personally, I would have kept the carpeting black like the original, so it would tie in with the dashboard. But I'm glad you are pleased with how it all turned out.
Thanks Rachel!
When did you do this video? There is snow out side at your house but it's June 29th 2024 and 100 here in Illinois?
I am wondering just to know if Canada is getting snow in May or June?
@@chrissettles4127Alex is living in Edmonton and I’m in Calgary which is about four hundred miles south. I can tell you that there has been a foot of snow in May but it doesn’t last. Often the snow is gone in a day and a half. Right now it’s not very warm. The highest temperature I’ve seen this year is less than eighty degrees F. If you’re coming to Alberta this summer remember to bring your jacket.
You're a Rembrandt buddy. You have an eye for this sort of thing and while it probably doesn't give you a giant profit by doing this revamping of exotic vehicles, you have the added bonus of cruising around in historically significant machines until you get tired of them. Well done sir.
Beautiful old Lancia! I am very impressed. Great find, Alex.
What a sweet little car! Molto sportivo! I love the typeface on the dash instruments. **chef's kiss**
That is very awesomyself a little. I enjoy your Chand I know people get upset with you with what you do with your stuff But after all it's, you're the one that bought and paid for it. We just get the pleasure of watching you and Melissa.❤😊
I appreciate that
Excellent job Alex!! Beautiful Italian therubred. Love those quirky little cars from that era....
Looks great Alex! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
They did an awesome job on the seats❤
🤔 I'm guessing better mileage than the Jag. Love the way you keep the lineup fresh. Besides there will be other E types down the road. For many men this Lancia would be a midlife crisis purchase. For Alexander it's merely Spring 2024.👍
What a great car!! Thanks for sharing......interior looks great. Love all the patina.
Beautiful ! Nice choice on the seats ! Great job Alex !!
I bet Tuly is so happy he found you ! The car is too ! So nice !
Very cool, you did a great job, thank for sharing!
Well done Alex can’t wait to see when the paint job is finished and car is fully serviced and some brand new beautiful tyres are on and maybe a window tint is done and restore the front dash where the instruments are . Zachary. Love to all the family Alex.❤️🥰🌼🫶🌼🫶
Was sad to see the Jag go but the Lancia is an awesome unique replacement and great stable mate to the Ferrari, Alfa, Mercedes, and Porsche
Just a bit more unique :)
I have as a daily driver a 25 year old Lancia with a smooth 5 cylinder engine, fun to drive.
About 10 of them still on the road in my country with 17 million citizens. Rare as hens theeth overhere….🙂
What a fantastic find. Congratulations
SEATS ARE AWESOME.
White is classy
Nice job‼️
Great job!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Looks ready to head to car shows this summer :-)
Fun! Thanks for showing us.
Happy Canada Day Alexander et al.
Beautiful little car! I had a ‘61 MG and loved it low to the ground, noisy and fun! You’ve done a nice job on it too! Enjoy! 😊
Hi Alex 👋🏽. Nice Car ‼️👊🏽👍🏽💯. Do you still have the little yellow car❓ I think it was a mietta. I probably spelled that wrong ‼️🤷🏽🤣😂😆😄 LOL 🤣😆.👋🏽
What a little beauty! I love a nice old Lancia! Very pretty now. I'm not a fan of the turqoise floor carpet, but that's just a little thing. The entire care IS loud though.... I'm not sure I'd feel okay driving that for a long while. I'm on the fence, obviously. ;-))
Pontiac Grand Prix also used that style of door handle. I don't recall the year, early 70's.
Thank you for the video 🙏
that ones a keeper.
Fantastic job love the colors in and outside > go get some car show trophys !!
I would like to see more regular updates on all your cars-which ones you still have and which ones you have sold- even if they are just short updates.
Ok!
@@CuriosityIncorporated Thanks
Love it!
Must be old footage. There is snow!
great interview with toly so happy you got 1 of his cars,he is a legend, do you still have that great ferrari?/, cheers
Wow!
Snow in June 😲😲
Snow in a winter video released in June.
Alexander,
Was this one of the videos that were "destined" for
the show, because this and the previous one seemed slightly more "formal",
that your usual ones.
Just a feeling:)
Cheers',
Rik Spector
P.S. The color combo is awesome, something classy about the look.
Now you're gonna need a car hauling trailer
Funny I thought it was light blue! 😂
Should’ve gone with the black carpet. That blue is a total clash with the rest of the interior. Cool car, though.
It looks very nice in person
That’s a great little car and I think that upholstery new rug looks great in fact I think that colour rug is the same colour as the one my husband had that car when we first met in 1986 he kept it for while and he worked on it himself And then he bought BMW and sold the Lancia ….
👍 to Melissa for her "Waldo" comment. 🙂
And since you asked, "template" is pronounced, "temp-lit."
Dear GuyWith....
👍👌👏 2) Additionally a Porsche is definitely not pronounced Porsch!!! Good grief! 😱😠 And Lancia isn't pronounced Lansia but luncha/lunchu (the a like in bus). If any then with a very short i after the h.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
@@Chr.U.Cas2216 There's a fine line between being condescending and being pedantic. I think you've just obliterated that line.
Dear @@GuyWithTheDogs
There is a really thick line between knowledge and ignorance! Absolutely every one who calls himself a car enthusiast should at least know how to spell/pronounce car brands. At least the famous respectively such famous ones. And if he isn't able to remember, Janis Joplin can certainly help! Hchrmph memememeee: 🎼🎶🎵 Oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friends all drive Porsches, I must... 🎶🎵 And if he still isn't able, guggl can help for sure! But only if he is interested in learning something respectively in gathering knowledge. By the way: Is it a Chevrol or a Chevrolet? A For or a Ford? Or maybe a Lincol? By the way: Sir, do you pronounce Plymouth like plywood and mouth? I don't think so!
Best regards, luck, health and wisdom.
In UK we say temp late. ❤ XXX
Dear @@cajsheen2594
Isn't it Temp lar (Simon) in the UK? 😁 ;-).
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
You can always buy another E-Type but an Appia Zagato with race history.. you'll never find another one. I'd keep it for a long time if I were you
You may find it was easier to keep that E-type going than the Lancia.
I have no idea whether or not that is true...and I'd be too polite to mention it if it was...but that car likely has ten times more weekend car show interest than the Jaguar.
Lan-chia. 😊
That Lancia dreams of being an E type lol, Sounds fruity with that little v4.
That tear in the seat can be repaired
Perhaps. But...why??
Zounds Zweeet!
It needs boranie wire Wheels
🙋♀️❤️
Alex my handsome man. I would have thought Jason and Steve would be all over this car. You have done an amazing job of refurbishing the vehicle. The inside is beautiful. Lucky you. I thought you guys have winter the same time we do in California. Well my sexy friend. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🕊🇺🇸🌹🌈👍🌞❤️🙏😇
9:40 looks like two hippo mouths 😮
Did I see snow in the yard?
Yes. It's Canada in the winter.
OooOoooooo! 🤣
You're addicted to old small European cars. How does Melissa feel about your addiction?
I think it’s great. I’m glad that Alexander can have fun while still making a smart investment :)
I'm car ignorant. What kind of gas do you put in those old cars? I really enjoy your car videos, but I always think about that
The way it's edited it looks like you really didn't do anything, it was all a cut to done. Maybe a 2nd static camera to show a bit of the process?
I'm not fond of the carpet color. Does not match the rest of the blue interior color.
The car is "light blue", really?
If he held a sheet of pure white paper next to the paint, you would be able to tell
You can see the light blue color much better at 26:32 when it's next to white snow.
Yup
are you sure it's not an inline 4. I thought only Saab made a Vee 4
VR4. Lancias speciality for many years. They basically invented that layout.
???/ I'm lost, this is JUNE!!!
did you know people can post videos on youtube months after it happened? it's not all live and happened yesterday
He probably bought the vehicle this winter and waited to post the video until after he had done enough of the work to make a more comprehensive before/after restoration video. It all takes time!
Also, his most recently posted videos were of his visit with Anatoly Arutunoff, the owner and driver of this vehicle. So it was good timing because were just introduced to Anatoly.
Also, Canada can get snow in June. I was in North Bay, Ontario, years ago. May 31st was sunny and warm. We had a picnic lunch by a lake. I woke up on June 1 to several inches of snow. 😮
Yes that’s what happened :)
