The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1973 Lancia 2000 Coupe
***NO RESERVE*** Rare barn find opportunity penned by Pininfarina
Registration - NNJ 920M
Chassis No - TBC
M.O.T. - Exempt
Odometer - 71,441
A rare opportunity to obtain a genuine barn-find piece of Italian craftsmanship, this example of Lancia’s Pininfarina-designed 2000 Coupe is presented in blue, even if it is dusty. Powered by Lancia’s 2.0-litre straight-four engine, connected to a five-speed manual gearbox with dog-leg first, ‘NNJ 920M’ has the performance potential to match contemporary sports coupes. The interior of the two-door coupe is in a similar neglected state to the exterior, but features burgundy leather seats and a wood veneer dashboard, with two-spoke Lancia steering wheel.
Dry-stored for more than 20 years, ‘NNJ 920M’ has been dry-stored for more than 20 years, having been gifted to the vendor by a friend of the family who was an avid car collector. An original right-hand drive model, the 2000 Coupe shows more than indicated 71,000 miles indicated on the odometer; though these are unwarranted, it is not an unusual figure for a car that’s more than 50 years old, even if it hasn’t been driven for twenty of them. Highly original, ‘NNJ 920M’ even includes features such as the correct 14-inch Cromodora magnesium alloy wheels, with original stickers in place, and chassis plates. Clearly not in the best of conditions, the vendor describes the Lancia 2000 Coupe as being in ‘poor’ condition in terms of the engine, transmission, electrics, and interior, though the bodywork and paintwork are reckoned to be ‘below average’. Offered at no reserve, ‘NNJ 920M’ represents an ideal project vehicle.
Produced from 1971, the Lancia 2000 Coupe was a two-door version of the 2000 saloon. While the saloon was designed in-house by Piero Castagnero - of Lancia Fulvia Coupe fame - the coupe was penned by Pininfarina. The 2000 Coupe was offered in standard and HF configurations, with a sleeker, more sporting stance than the saloon. The 2000 used a 2.0-litre engine with a carburettor, while the HF features the same unit, but with electronic fuel injection; both had a five-speed manual. Production ran until 1975, by which time around 2,500 units had been made, before being replaced by the Lancia Gamma.
In summary:
- Offered at no reserve
- Genuine barn find prospect for restoration
- Highly original and presented with period features
