White car, black plate: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider

Everything is possible in life, but it is highly unlikely that someone wouldn’t appreciate the sleek and elegant lines of an Aurelia B24S, especially if we’re talking about a first-series example like this one. An example (chassis B24S-1040) that, by the way, is said to be preserved, so we assume that the seller means it has not been restored or that it has only undergone minor extraordinary…

LANCIA AURELIA B24S CONVERTIBLE AMERICA BY PININFARINA

LANCIA AURELIA B24S CONVERTIBLE AMERICA BY PININFARINA (1956)

Latest Value €193,300

118 bhp, 2,451 cc overhead cam V-6 engine, dual twin-choke Weber 40 DCL5 carburettors, four-speed manual rear-mounted transaxle, front independent sliding-pillar suspension, rear de Dion axle with leaf springs and shock absorbers, and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 96.5 in.

Lancia’s development of the Aurelia GT, itself a derivation of the B10 Aurelia saloon that débuted in 1950, continued at the Brussels Motor Show of January 1955. The official début was of an arresting wraparound-windscreen spider, designated the B24. The competition successes of the Aurelia GT in the early-1950s had encouraged Lancia to offer increasingly sporting body styles for customers, and renowned U.S. importer Max Hoffman pitched numerous European manufacturers on embracing the potential of the American marketplace for dual-purpose open-top sports cars. Accordingly, between December 1954 and October 1955, Pinin Farina bodied 240 examples of the dynamic B24 spider on the fourth-series Aurelia GT chassis, the latter 181 of which were classified as B24S.

In July 1956, Lancia began offering a revised version of the B24S built on the fifth-series Aurelia GT platform, which featured modified camshafts, non-detachable cylinder liners, a new clutch, and direct drive top gear. The new car also featured revised bodywork and a true convertible top and roll-up windows for proper weather sealing, as well as redesigned seats for improved overall driver comfort. Officially dubbed the Aurelia GT 2500 America Convertible, only 150 examples of the new B24S were produced before a final revision was enacted in 1957 on the sixth-series Aurelia GT chassis. Following this final iteration, the model line was discontinued entirely, at which point just 521 examples of the B24S convertible had been produced.

An extremely early example of the new convertible body constructed on the fifth-series Aurelia GT chassis, 1185 is just the fourth car produced. It is, furthermore, highly unique in its livery of champagne with green leather interior and champagne carpets, believed to be the only example finished in this handsome colour combination. Optioned with a rare hardtop, this B24S convertible spent the majority of its life in northern Italy, principally Tuscany and Sienna. More recently, the car was acquired by an executive of Riso Scotti, the renowned Lombardy-based rice producer. Approximately 10 years ago, this owner commissioned a sympathetic repaint and cosmetic restoration in the rare original colours.

Just over two years ago, the engine was treated to a comprehensive overhaul, after which the odometer accrued approximately 3,500 kilometres. Chassis 1185 is assured by the consignor to perform faultlessly, with good oil pressure and no smoking upon ignition. Consistent with common upgrades undertaken by many Lancia owners, this B24S has been mechanically updated with a modern auxiliary fan and an electric fuel pump, ensuring more reliable performance during touring excursions.

521 cars produced - 2.5 liter V6 engine - 118 hp - 172 km/h topspeed

If we were to estimate the cost of a car based on how many dollars per horsepower it takes to buy it, the Aurelia B24S Spider would be one of the most expensive in the world, however it probably wouldn’t even be in the top ten. And this is good news for anyone who has the financial capacity to get their hands on one of the most beautiful spiders ever built, to be precise on one of the 250 built…

Old silver: 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertibile

This 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible is presented as a long-hidden discovery and one of the most desirable open Aurelia variants. The “B24S” designation refers to the Sinistra (left-hand drive) configuration, and the model is described as one of 521 built. As the more developed evolution of the earlier B24 Spider, the Convertible retained the same elegant open grand-touring character but…
