The Lancia Aurelia is a car that was produced and sold by the Italian company Lancia from 1950 until the summer of 1958, divided into six series. The versions included a four-door sedan, a two-door convertible (B50/B52), a two-door GT coupe (B20), a two-door spider/convertible (B24), and a rolling chassis for coachbuilders. The Aurelia is known for using one of the first mass-produced V6 engines.

Continuing a post-war Lancia tradition, the car was named after a Roman road: the Via Aurelia, which runs from Rome to Pisa.

At the rear, it featured an innovative combined transaxle integrating the gearbox, clutch, and differential, as well as internal drum brakes. The front suspension was a sliding pillar construction, with the semi-trailing arms at the rear being replaced by a De Dion tube in the fourth series. The Aurelia was also the first car to be equipped with radial tires as standard.

First Series
In 1951, a two-door B20 GT coupé appeared. This had a shorter wheelbase and a body designed by Ghia and built by Pinin Farina. The same 1991 cc engine produced 75 hp (56 kW) in the B20.

Second Series
The second series Aurelia coupé increased the power to 80 hp (60 kW) from the 1991 cc V6 with a higher compression ratio and relocated valves.

Third Series
The third series appeared in 1953 with a larger 2451 cc version of the engine. The rear of the car lost the tail fins of the earlier series.

Fourth Series
The fourth series introduced the new De Dion tube rear suspension. The engine was fitted with new bearings instead of white metal bearings. Fifth Series
The fifth series coupe, which appeared in 1956, was more luxurious. It had a different transaxle (split housing), which was more robust and resembled that of the later Flaminias. The driveshaft was also revised to reduce vibrations.

Sixth Series
The power of the 1957 sixth series dropped to 112 hp (84 kW), with increased torque to compensate for the higher weight of the later models. The sixth series coupes had vent windows and usually a chrome trim strip over the hood. They were the most touring-oriented within the B20 series.

The Aurelia presented here is a 6th series. It is finished in black with a beige cloth interior. It currently has Recaro leather seats, but the original ones are included. This car has also been completely restored and is a Matching Numbers car where everything is correct. It is equipped with column shifters and looks almost like new. It is also worth mentioning that this Lancia once belonged to the Rothschild family. For the discerning Lancia Aurelia enthusiast seeking a perfectly driving car.
