Описание: Collecting Cars is happy to be auctioning this 1935 Lancia Augusta March Special Tourer with the proceeds benefiting three charities. For full details of this charity auction head over to https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1...

James takes the Lancia Augusta March Special Tourer to Goodwood to meet with the Duke of Richmond and discuss the car his Grandfather, the 9th Duke of Richmond and Earl of March, designed.

The Augusta March Special Tourer is notable for its unique streamlined bodywork. The car has a 1.2 litre V-4 engine, coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox, it has independent front suspension and oil-filled shock absorbers all of which represented the height of contemporary motoring at the time.

Thought to have been one of only 12 cars built with only 6 survivors. The car came first in class in 1998 in the Rome Leige Rome rally, hence the special timepiece in the car. This is undoubtedly a unique opportunity to own a car with fascinating provenance.

The three charities benefiting from the sale of the car are:

The White Ensign Association - naval charity providing support and guidance to all serving and former members of the Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, their Reserves and their families on employment, finance, resettlement and personal administration.

The Aldingbourne Trust – a Sussex-based charity providing support and care for people with learning difficulties and autism.

Veloce – an annual charity track day that distributes funds raised each year to a number of charities. Since its inception in 2017 it has distributed over £500,000 to the charities it supports.
