Many classic automobiles evoke strong emotion – admiration, nostalgia, even whimsy.
The Lancia Aurelia, more than 70 years since it was introduced, inspires reverence.
The Aurelia is widely recognized as one of the most groundbreaking cars in history, and the B20 GT coupe is the most storied variant. Of the first seven cars across the finish line in the 1951 Mille Miglia, three of them were B20s – one of them second overall, just behind a Ferrari with nearly twice the displacement and ahead of several others.
The B20s were built for performance. Featuring the breakthrough aluminum V-6 – the first production V6 in any car – and ingeniously engineered for optimal weight distribution, they were absolutely born to run.
This 1957 B20 is an example from the model’s sixth and final series. It has some engineering refinements and some subtle design touches that certainly don’t get in the way of the simplicity of the gorgeous Ghia design but add cosmetic beauty – like the understated but elegant chrome strip down the center of the hood.
This car is stunningly original and complete. The simple, driver-oriented interior is dressed neatly in black vinyl with beige cloth inserts. Trunk and engine compartment are clean and correct.
This 1957 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT is a right-hand-drive coupe and one of an estimated 3,900 examples built during an eight-year production run. This Series VI car is powered by a replacement 2.5-liter B24 V6 paired with a floor-shifted, rear-mounted four-speed manual transaxle. It rides on metric steel wheels and is further equipped with auxiliary lights, a Weber 40DCL 5 carburetor, a de Dion rear axle, and hydraulic drum brakes. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025, and subsequent service involved adjusting the carburetor, replacing the clutch and brake cylinders, and performing a brake service. This B20 is now offered in Washington State with a copy of an instruction manual, a copy of the previous Singapore registration book, and transferable Connecticut registration.
The Aurelia debuted at the 1950 Turin Motor Show as the first series-produced car with a V6 engine and was manufactured in six series through 1958. Featuring bodywork by Pininfarina, the Series VI coupe incorporated a chrome strip down the bonnet along with quarter vent windows. This example is finished in red and features integrated driving lamps along with bumper-mounted auxiliary lights.
The Series VI Aurelia features an independent front sliding pillar suspension and a rear de Dion rear axle setup with a Panhard rod and leaf springs. The car rides on silver-finished metric steel wheels, and stopping power is provided by hydraulic drums with inboard rear units. A brake service was performed in anticipation of the sale.
The right-hand-drive cabin houses individual front seats and a rear bench trimmed in black vinyl with beige cloth inserts. The ceiling wears a white headliner, while black carpets line the floors. Additional appointments include a floor-mounted shifter, a Philips push-button radio, front shoulder belts, and pop-out rear quarter windows. Tears in the upholstery are visible on the right-front seat.
A three-spoke steering wheel fronts a body-color steel dashboard housing a Jaeger 5,500-rpm tachometer with a clock paired with a 150-mph speedometer featuring inset auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles.
The carburetor was tuned and adjusted in May 2025. The car was serviced by Ray Segale, marque expert, with $3,000 spent getting it up to date. The seller notes that the car has been in storage for some time and will require further mechanical recommissioning.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a rear-mounted four-speed manual transaxle. The clutch master and slave cylinders were replaced in May 2025, at which time the shift linkage was adjusted. The car is further equipped with a dual exhaust system.
This is an excellent chance to acquire a rare, important, incredibly enjoyable automobile that will always be something truly special.
