From 1906 through much of the last century, the Lancia brand was known as a brand that manufactured high-quality automobiles. With advanced technologyën, new ideasën were implemented in their models and not adopted by other brands until much later. With a thoughtful blend of comfort, sportiness, nimbleness and durability, Lancia’s were ’s for connoisseurs. Where other brands were plenty concerned with large production numbers, Lancia focused on an unusual way of craftsmanship and production. By producing everything in-house, even the parts, the Italian brand was able to produce vehicles with an extraordinary attention to detail. With beautiful and compact engines and innovative ideasën, Lancia set the tone for the automotive industry. For example, did you know that in the 1950s Lancia employed 8,000 workers to produce 10,000 cars’per year? Lancia introduced the Aurelia in 1950; an important car for the brand, as it was the most advanced car of the time. With ’world's first V6 production engine, designed by Francesco De Virgilio (also husband of Rita Lancia), the gearbox mounted at the rear and independent suspension, the Aurelia was destined for connoisseurs, but also for drivers because of its perfect handling. In 1951 followed the Aurelia coupé, called B20, and after an incredible success at the Mille Miglia, followed in 1954 the B24 Spider with panoramic windshield. Lancia was always developing their cars’s further, and so in 1956 followed the B24 Convertible; a perfected Aurelia. Whereas the Spider was available as both left- and right-hand drive, the Convertible was only available as a left-hand drive variant. A balanced Aurelia with a high degree of refinement. The example we offer is an Aurelia B24 Convertible from 1958. A truly stunning Aurelia in light blue with beige interior. Lancia produced only 521 Convertibles. This example is distinguished by the matching numbers engine and an attractive color scheme. Also, this B24 has been fully restored and reconditioned. With this B24 we provide the Lancia Certificate of Origin, which proves that the engine of this example is matching numbers.The exterior is gorgeous and the paint looks very good. The chrome work has the correct look, not too bright, as it should be for a Lancia, and the wire wheels are in very good condition. The doors close very precisely with the familiar and refined sound, as is the case with a good Aurelia. With nice fits, the body parts fit together well. The light blue body color is very nice.In the interior we again find the high level of refinement, for which an Aurelia is so well known. The whole is in very good condition. The correct rubber mats fit perfectly. The seats have been reupholstered and are in nice condition. The clocks, along with the correct steering wheel, look excellent.Under the hood, we cannot help but conclude that the whole thing looks cared for and very good. Details are correct. Driving this Aurelia is fantastic. The V6 engine starts immediately and responds excellently to the gas. The sliding pillar front suspension, also adjustable, absorbs bumps excellently and driving this Lancia is a great mix of sportiness and refinement.
