Lancia Aurelia B24 GT 1956

Description

Hi, Im offering for sale a stunning Lancia Aurelia B24 GT 1956...Successful Participant in the Colorado Grand, California Mille. Recently Serviced and Nicely Detailed. Vin B24S-1195 Engine B24*1309* Burgundy with Tan Leather This particular car has been under the care of a number of collectors, including Paul and Madeline Guttman. During their ownership, the car was restored, and subsequently competed successfully in the Colorado Grand, California Mille, Copperstate 1000, and other events. The car is a well-kept nicely mellowed example that is superbly sorted. It has been retrofitted with desirable and attractive replica Borrani wire wheels by Franco de Pierro, and also has a very rare hardtop, which has not been restored. The car is in lovely cosmetic condition overall. The paintwork was completed to very high standards some years ago, and has a few chips in the front end from road use, and a few cracks in the paint in areas of complex curvature. The chrome is excellent throughout, as are the glass and lights. The wheels are very nice as well, and the car wears Michelin XAS tires. The canvas top is in excellent shape and fits well. The interior is extremely nice throughout. The leather upholstery on the seats has a nice even patina, and the carpets, dashboard, and door trims are excellent. The switches and instruments are very nice, and the steering wheel is extremely nice, though the horn button has some cracks in it. The engine compartment is tidy and correct throughout. It is quite clean, and low restriction K&N air filters are fitted. The trunk is correct in appearance with quilted upholstery and rubber diamond pattern mat. This example drives superbly. The engine is the finest that we have ever experienced in an Aurelia, and the transaxle is excellent. The brakes are excellent, and the car has none of the driveline vibration that is common to these cars. The overall feel is a coherent and reassuring feel that reminds the driver why these cars are so sought after. This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of these lovely automobiles. Beautifully styled and engineered, the Aurelia B24 is a car with tremendous depth. Where other cars are crude and show signs of cutting costs and corners, the Aurelia impresses with its unfailing commitment to excellence in all respects. Consequently, they are particularly appealing to seasoned and sophisticated collectors seeking an uncompromising car that is at once sophisticated, sporting, and beautiful. This example is a superbly sorted example that is both attractive and usable, as demonstrated by its participation in numerous driving events. No more than 150 cars were made in 1956 so if you are looking for a special car.. this is the one that will increase any sports car collection.... This car is located outside USA but I may export to any port in the world, so if you are serious, contact me and I will quote the shipping... I described the car the best I can, any aditional info or pics, please email me.. Good luck and Happy Bidding !! Item Photos
