Vehicle Description
- Azzurro Agano-Celeste with Blue Leather/Grey Cloth upholstery,
Grey carpeting, Black rubber floor coverings, 2.5 Liter V6 engine,
4-Speed manual gearbox, Fully restored.
This Coveted factory left-hand drive Aurelia B20 'S' GT Series VI,
the final and most refined iteration, has all the various upgrades
implemented over the preceding series, including a 2.5-liter V6
engine with 112 horsepower, a more robust, split-case transaxle, a
de Dion rear suspension, a more favorable seating position, side
vent windows, and Jaeger instrumentation.
It is believed that this Lancia has resided in the United States
since new, and in the Rhode Island region during the early 1960s,
followed by ownership in New Jersey. By the close of the 1970s, it
is believed that the car was parked in a barn in Media,
Pennsylvania where it would remain for approximately 35 years. In
2013, the Aurelia was discovered and extracted from the barn by a
European collector in completely unrestored 'barn-find' condition.
Much of its interior was sheltered from the elements and remained
intact, particularly its Nardi wood-trimmed steering wheel, blue
leather door panels, and Jaeger gauges. The car's body panels and
major mechanical components, including its alloy V6 engine,
four-speed transaxle, and de Dion rear suspension, also remained
correct and complete.
The car was sold to a new owner in 2014, and a restoration soon
followed. Upon completion, this Lancia was the factory hue Azzurro
Agano-Celeste (light blue), and the interior was completely
restored with the reupholstery of the seats in two-tone blue and
grey partial leather and a refurbishing of the body-color
dashboard, wood-trimmed Nardi steering wheel, and floor-mounted
shifter. The mechanical components were overhauled and the
no-expense-spared, multi-year restoration concluded in 2020.
Purchased by its most recent collector in 2021.
Eligible for the most prestigious touring events worldwide
including the famed Mille Miglia. A rare and excellent opportunity
to purchase an exquisite example of a very sought after model.
