Descrição
Lancia is certainly one of the most sophisticated GT cars of its time; our example, the 1957 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT Series VI with left-hand drive (only 425 produced in this configuration) has 22, 711 km on the odometer, is painted Verde (1171) and reflects the elegance and modernity of the 50s; a luxurious, spacious and comfortable interior, a wooden steering wheel signed Lancia, a magnificent black and beige dashboard with its complete and functional instrumentation; its beige leather/ wool upholstery; just sublime!
This vehicle underwent a complete restoration in the early 2000s, with extensive sheet metal work carried out by the Blaise Pascal coachbuilder (94); All the mechanical work was carried out by Ets Technica Auto (Paris) and the upholstery by LSP (94) and has been well maintained ever since. Note that this car, chassis no. 1581, comes from the sixth and final series and therefore benefits from all the improvements of the latest model, in particular a more robust split-box transaxle, rear axle suspension by de Dion, more robust than the independent suspension of the first series, and door deflectors that made this Aurelia so recognisable; The Lancia Aurelia B20 GT is powered by a 2451cc, 112 bhp engine, the world's first production V6!! Weber carburettor, a floor-mounted gear lever by Nardi, an electric high-pressure air-cooling fan, an electric fuel pump, a stainless steel exhaust system, a 4-speed manual gearbox and a large radiator grille with round lights; a great deal of horsepower for this car; Lancia has a long tradition of technical innovation, with the Aurelia. But what does the "S" stand for? Originally, the steering wheel was on the right; it wasn't until the IV series that the brand introduced a left-hand steering wheel; This coupé, or rather this 'Coach' if we want to be precise, has a vertical front end that gives it a massive appearance, a wide chrome grille, a flat bonnet with a central part that opens in the old-fashioned way, typical of those years; At the wheel of the Lancia Aurelia, it's fairly easy to get settled in; ignition then start-up and the V6 starts to sing like a diva, a pleasant and flattering sound for the ears; good balance and a well-asserted temperament and you immediately feel that you're dealing with an exceptional high-performance car. The Aurelia is undoubtedly one of the most legendary Lancias in the company's history and one of the most important creations since the war; In short, the Lancia Aurelia B20 GT is a subtle blend of performance and sophistication, a true automotive legend thanks to the combination of a powertrain designed by Vittorio Jano and a body designed with sobriety by Pinin Farina. So let yourself be tempted by a test drive to appreciate all its great aesthetic and mechanical qualities; a purchase of passion and reason; A lot of charisma emanates from this very accomplished car Driving a B20 GT is a real treat, its lightness, the precision of its steering, its balance and the responsiveness of its engine, all in perfect comfort, make this model a real GT This vehicle is offered with its normal 14hp registration document, service invoices, workshop service followed by technical inspection CARTE GRISE AU NOUVELQUEREUR NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE Commissioning costs in addition €150 (minimum €30 fuel, cosmetic preparation of the vehicle, kill switch, safety kit) Delivery/ takeover possible
