Lancia Aurelia 1957 Used

Lancia Aurélia is certainly one of the most sophisticated GTs of its time; our example, the Lancia Aurélia B20 GT Series VI from 1957, left-hand drive (quite rare), only 425 produced, displays 22,711 km on the odometer, Verde color (1171) reflects the elegance and modernity of the 1950s; luxurious, spacious, comfortable interior; wooden steering wheel with Lancia logo; magnificent dashboard, complete and functional instrumentation; beige leather/wool upholstery; a very beautiful harmony; just sublime! This vehicle received a complete restoration in the early 2000s; significant bodywork work; all the mechanics were entrusted to Ets Technica Auto, the upholstery at LSP and has always been well maintained since. Bodywork, paintwork of a beautiful appearance; the installation on the bridge reveals a healthy body without the slightest corrosion. This Lancia with chassis number 1581 comes from the sixth and final series and therefore benefits from all the improvements of the latest model, including a more robust split-case bridge gearbox, a De Dion rear axle suspension (more robust than the independent suspension of the 1st series) and door deflectors which made it even more recognizable. The Lancia Aurélia B20 GT equipped with a 2451cc, 112hp engine; 4-speed gearbox; features the very first V6 series in the world! Weber carburetor; rare floor gearbox by Nardi; electric forced-air cooling fan; electric fuel pump; stainless steel exhaust and a tripmaster. A fine cavalry for this car; a great tradition of technical innovations with the Aurélia; a sophisticated car using refined technical solutions. All the charm of this Turinese comes from its line which is both racy and atypical, with beautiful curves by Pinin Farina. We find features that can make us think of the English XK 120 but with Italian elegance; both displayed very high performances for the time; Jaguar the raw power while Lancia more in the subtlety and technical sophistication. This Coupé or rather this "Coach" has a vertical front face which gives it a little massive side; a large chrome grille, its flat hood with its central part which opens in the old style, typical of those years; in profile a true masterpiece of balance; an almost perfect proportions which immediately gives it a certain dynamism. At the wheel of the Lancia Aurélia, installation is easy; contact, start and the V6 does not take long; a pleasant and flattering sound for the ears. We must not forget that the Lancia Aurélia was the holder of multiple rally records. To summarize, this car is a subtle aggregate of performances and sophistication. Come and take a seat to appreciate its great qualities. Vehicle sold as is
