1953' Lancia Aurelia

1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT
This exceedingly pretty 1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT coupé is a third series car which of course means that it is, as they all were in this period, Lancia Factory right hand drive. Built in six series between 1951 and 1958, the third series saw an increase in capacity for its 60 degree V6 engine from 1991cc to 2451cc. This matching numbers vehicle, chassis number B202315, engine number B202549 underwent extensive work between 2009 and 2011 which is fully documented in its substantial history file. Very nicely presented in Grigio Argento paintwork (with just a couple of minor paint chips) with stunning complementary blue leather interior, this Aurelia sports an optional Nardi three-spoke steering wheel. It is accompanied by its original seats which are in poor condition.
This gran turismo two-door coupé appeared at the 2023 Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance giving an indication of its quality and condition. A rare, desirable, and iconic 1950s motor car with true sporting prowess, which in period was much loved by Formula One drivers of the time including world champions Mike Hawthorn and Juan Manuel Fangio.
