• Excellent condition throughout

 • Rare original British market B12

 • Partly restored

One of the first production cars to feature a V6 the Aurelia was technologically advanced for its time with many innovative features not found on its contemporaries. 

Building on the success and excellent reputation of the Aprilia that it was replacing, the Aurelia stood out not just for the advanced technology but also the exceptionally high build quality and standard of finish.

This Aurelia presents excellently and is in fantastic condition throughout. 

Partly restored by the previous owner and very well looked after by the current one it’s an excellent rare example of a B12 made for the British market that’s ready to drive.

The Silver Blue colour compliments the 50’s styling and the car looks fantastic from any angle. 

Most of the brightwork has been re-chromed and presents very well although there are some small dents/ripples to the bumpers as pictured, however these really don’t detract from the excellent impression this car makes.

 • Extensively overhauled

 • Engine bay is clean and tidy

 • Undersides present very well

 • Starts easily and idles well

It starts easily on a turn of the key, idles well and the owner reports that it drives as it should.  

Both the engine bay and undersides present very well with no visible signs of corrosion. 

A rare opportunity to acquire a Lancia Aurelia B12 in fantastic condition that would make a fine addition to any collection or as a wonderful and very driveable classic.
