*Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible: one of the greatest Lancia models of all time

The Lancia Aurelia, introduced in 1950, solidified the brand's reputation as a true pioneer. Featuring the world’s first production V6 engine, a masterpiece designed by Francesco De Virgilio, the Aurelia combined cutting-edge engineering with remarkable driving comfort and performance. In 1956, Lancia unveiled the Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible, a refined and perfectly balanced evolution of the original, exclusively available as a left-hand drive model.

With only 521 units ever produced, this Convertible is incredibly rare. This particular car features matching numbers and colors, further underscoring its originality and authenticity. Additionally, it comes equipped with the highly desirable Nardi package, an original factory option that significantly enhances the performance of the 2.5-liter V6 engine with upgrades such as dual carburetors and an optimized intake manifold.


*Expertly Restored and Fully Overhauled

This Aurelia has been meticulously restored down to the finest details. The bodywork is sleek, the paint exudes a brilliant luster, and the chrome accents are perfectly subtle and refined.

The transaxle gearbox shifts with precision, while the unique sliding pillar suspension absorbs road imperfections with unparalleled finesse. The result is a driving experience that is both sporty and comfortable—a hallmark of the Aurelia. Enthusiasts often describe the feeling of driving an Aurelia as, “Once you’ve experienced an Aurelia, no other car can quite match its refinement.”


*Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible: Ahead of Its Time
*
Founded in 1906, Lancia built its reputation as a manufacturer of highly innovative and premium vehicles. While other automakers focused on mass production, Lancia chose a different path: craftsmanship, advanced technology, and unmatched attention to detail. Everything, from the engines to the smallest components, was developed and produced in-house. This resulted in cars of extraordinary quality and refinement, often decades ahead of their competitors. The Aurelia is a prime example of this vision—an iconic model that was light-years ahead of its time.
