1938 Zagato Aprillia made from old photo

The new...

I posted this in Dec 2006,

Here's an update: http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/02/recreation-vehicle-zagato-recreates-1938-lancia-roadster-from-f/ Based only on a couple of faded photographs, current director Andrea Zagato set out to recreate the 1938 coachbuilt roadster that his grandfather Ugo crafted based on the versatile 1938 Lancia Aprilia chassis.
