- CI restoration page describes a second-series Aprilia chassis from 1946 with coachwork likely completed in 1947; external exact-chassis event sources catalogue the car as 1948. | Confidence detail moved from confidence: very_high_exact_chassis_coachbuilder_designer_survivor_owner / medium_exact_completion_chronology_production_count | Source-backed donor/model-level baseline for Lancia Aprilia second series (1940–1949 in this projection): narrow-angle V4, 1486 cc, 48 CV at 4300 rpm, 4-speed manual, rear-wheel drive. Coachbuilt-body dimensions, weight and maximum speed are intentionally not inherited.
