At the 1934 Milan motor show, Lancia introduced a new platform called 'type 234' for the Augusta-based custom-built cars.
From the bonnet forward, the custom-built platform was essentially identical to the four-door pillarless saloon, apart from the transferred fuel tank.
The platform used a box-body chassis, onto which coachbuilders could drape elegant hand-crafted bodies.
The platforms for the Augusta custom-built cars (around 3, 100 examples) were dressed by Italian coachbuilders, such as Ghia and Touring, but also by English and French coachbuilders.
This example was first registered in Como on 5 January 1935. It later moved to Imperia and in 1937 was owned by Count Carlo Bruzzo, a Genoese industrialist and political leader.
During the war, Genoa was repeatedly bombed and Count Bruzzo's palace was damaged by these attacks, which also resulted in damage to the Augusta chassis 34-2032.
After the war, Count Bruzzo commissioned a new body, and the car was subsequently sold to Savona, where it was registered for the last time in 1956.
In 1987 the Augusta was sold to a Fiat dealer in Cremona, who repainted it from black to the current two-tone grey. The Augusta was finally bought by its last owner in 2013.
