1956 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible
What a joy it is to be a Classic Car Dealer when vehicles such as this pass through your showrooms :-)
With one owner in California from 1956 through to 1986 when she was repatriated to Italy this stunning example is finished in Celeste Lancia - (celeste meaning turquoise although I would describe this as more 'Baby blue')
Whatever, the colour combination is truly perfect, and begs to have a Grace Kelly type inhabiting the passenger seat.......
Anyway, upon her return to Italy she was stripped down and restored by renowned specialists Novaira Lusardi in Turin and she still presents in perfectly immaculate condition
Her V6 engine and smooth gearbox are a delight and so easy to use, encouraging a spirited driving style
These cars were truly a revelation when introduced (Lancia were serious Formula 1 constructors at the time) and driving one today it is easy to understand why
Gorgeous lines, fine road holding and performance to match means these cars will always be held in high esteem by enthusiasts and true aficionados alike
