The seller offers for sale a 1953 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT third series, an example of Italian engineering and design. Powered by a 2.5L V6 engine paired with a manual transmission, this vehicle represents the pinnacle of vintage motoring. The Nardi tuning kit adds performance enhancements such as a special camshaft, Weber carburetors, and a distinctive floor-mounted gear lever. The interior is a tasteful combination of wool fabric and artificial leather, designed to balance aesthetics and comfort. With only 5,800 km on the odometer since restoration, this Aurelia is both a collector’s item and a capable driving machine.
The exterior has undergone a restoration. Alloy panels, including the doors, bonnet, and trunk, were crafted to Corsa specifications, while the body was stripped and repainted in classic black. The interior was rebuilt using high-quality materials, featuring racing-style seats and a well-appointed dashboard.
The Lancia Aurelia, introduced in 1950, is celebrated for its innovative engineering. It was the first car to feature a V6 engine, which set a new benchmark for performance and refinement. Designed by Ghia and later Pininfarina, the Aurelia’s timeless aesthetics complement its advanced mechanics. The B20 GT, specifically, became a legend in motorsport, securing victories in prestigious races such as the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio. The Nardi tuning kit offered enthusiasts a factory-endorsed performance upgrade, enhancing its allure.
