About the Lancia Astura Tipo 233 Corto White Minichamps 1:18

TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 resin model reproduces the Lancia Astura Tipo 233 Corto from 1936 in white, the short-chassis variant of Lancia's pre-war luxury range that gave period coachbuilders a sportier, more elegant canvas to work with than the standard Astura.

White is an unusual but genuinely striking choice for a car whose whole appeal rests on flowing, uninterrupted body lines, and the Astura Corto carries it well.

Sealed Resin on a Short-Chassis Coachbuilt Shape

The "Corto" designation marks this Astura as the short-wheelbase version of Lancia's flagship 1930s chassis, a platform coachbuilders favoured for sportier open-top bodies with tighter, more elegant proportions than the standard long-chassis Astura allowed. Sealed resin construction suits that flowing coachbuilt bodywork precisely, letting Minichamps hold the car's long, unbroken wing line and cutaway door edge without a hinge interruption. White shows off that surfacing with genuine clarity, a demanding colour that reveals any inconsistency in panel line but rewards a well-executed casting with real visual elegance.

A Flagship of Pre-War Italian Coachbuilding

Lancia built the Astura through the 1930s as its flagship luxury chassis, and the shorter Tipo 233 Corto variant became a favoured base for Italy's finest coachbuilders, including Pininfarina, to produce genuinely sporting open-top bodies rather than formal saloon coachwork. That combination, a capable, well-engineered chassis paired with artful Italian bodywork, places the Astura Corto among the more significant Italian luxury cars of its decade. Displayed alongside other pre-war Italian classics, this white example represents the elegant, coachbuilt side of 1930s Lancia at its most accomplished.
