The Aurelia was designed under the direction of engineer Vittorio Jano. Its engine, one of the first production V6 engines, a 60° design developed by Francesco de Virgilio, who was between 1943 and 1948 a Lancia engineer, and who worked under Jano. During production, capacity grew from 1.8 L to 2.5 L. Prototype engines used a bore and stroke of 68 mm x 72 mm for 1,569 cc; these were tested between 1946 and 1948. It was an all-alloy pushrod design with a single camshaft between the cylinder banks. A hemispherical combustion chamber and in-line valves were used. A single Solex or Weber carburettor completed the engine. Some uprated 1,991 cc models were fitted with twin carburettors.

At the rear was an innovative combination transaxle with the gearbox, clutch, differential, and inboard-mounted drum brakes. The front suspension was a sliding pillar design, with rear semi-trailing arms replaced by a de Dion tube in the Fourth series. The Aurelia was also first car to be fitted with radial tires as standard equipment.[1] Initially 165SR400 Michelin X tires.

This beautifully restored Lancia Aurelia Coupé is a third-series car with the 2.5-litre engine producing 118 hp. It took part in the 1954 Mille Miglia and in four other international rallies.

It is now offered for sale with an entry for next year’s Mille Miglia, the edition marking 100 years of the Mille Miglia. This is one of the few Aurelias that actually competed in the original Mille Miglia, so there is a strong chance it will be selected for this rally of rallies.

The car has been fully restored to concours condition. It is finished in dark grey metallic with a light grey cloth interior. A stunning super coupé for the gentleman rally driver.

This car has Dutch registration.
