An engineering masterpiece put together by one of the most gifted coachbuilders of this era, the Lancia Aurelia B20 achieved many successes in motorsport. The Series IV is the most appreciated by connoisseurs, thanks to its 2.5L V6 engine, also integrated on the Series 3, as well as its De Dion axle which greatly improved its agility.
The car on offer is one of them, precisely selected in 2012 by its current owner, a Lancia enthusiast, for the specific qualities of this version and its eligibility for major events. Its previous owner had acquired it in Italy, the car was then dark green and had been registered on 29 November 1954. Since its purchase, it has been restored and was repainted in navy blue colour. Inside, you can find the gear lever coming from the flooring, as well as the beautiful Nardi steering wheel and optional bucket seats, highly useful when you know how supportive the original seats are, especially for a car that invites sporty driving! With its gorgeous specific meters, the dashboard is equipped with a Becker Europa car radio. The engine was restored and the clutch replaced in 2022. Beautiful 15-inch alloy wheels combined with barely used Vredestein tyres from 2018 reinforce the sporty look of the car. This Aurelia is ready to be entered in beautiful rallies, in which its dynamic qualities and its stunning elegance will be admired.
