Launched in 1950, The Aurelia put Lancia under the spotlights for its avant-garde technique - thanks to a pioneering V6 engine designed by Francesco de Virgilio - paired with a remarkable handling and performance. This specific Convertible model is the direct heir of the first Aperta version, and swaps the latter’s low aerodynamic windscreen with a more traditional one, marking a step towards greater comfort and refinement. Still, the 2-5 litre 6-cylinders engine thrusts this little spider at an exhilarating pace, and is a perfect match to the car’s transaxle gearbox and unique suspensions. All of these ingredients make up for a precise, sporty but relaxed and balanced driving experience. Produced in only 521 units, this Convertible is a true collector gem, especially with the elegant finishes of this specific model, where a sleek dark bodywork contrasts with a bright red leather interior. Restored to perfection and with matching numbers - chassis, engine, gearbox, differential, suspensions -, this Lancia Aurelia B24 S is an immaculate work of art, as much as an invitation to get out in the sun and drive.
