Earlier KCA restoration
One of 521
As was the case with other famous two-seater roadsters of this era, it was the US importer for European brands, Max Hoffman, to whom the open version of the Aurelia was owed.
Initially built for one year as the „Spider America“, the car was fundamentally revised in 1956 and thereafter marketed as the „Convertibile“.
The design is considered one of the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful ever, from the Pininfarina house.
The advanced drivetrain from the saloon was adopted, with its silky-smooth V6 engine and innovative transaxle layout.
The „Convertibile“, designed for greater long-distance capability, received, among other things, larger door openings for easier entry and exit, roll-up windows instead of removable side screens, and a significantly simplified hood mechanism.
Despite its comparatively high new-car price, a respectable 521 units were sold in two years. However, 50 new cars sank in the Atlantic with the Andrea Doria in 1956.
Our vehicle was restored several years ago by the renowned „KCA“ Lancia workshop near Milan.
The Lancia delivery records confirm matching numbers for the engine and chassis.
