Early Production Example Offered by Gooding & CompanyCoachwork by Pinin FarinaChassis: B24S/1009

The 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider America is as beautiful as it is fast. With masterfully styled coachwork by Pinin Farina and a top speed of 115 mph, it’s easy to see why the Spider America has always been lauded by Lancia enthusiasts and knowledgeable collectors. This remarkable Spider America, chassis 1009, is one of just 181 left-hand-drive B24S Spider Americas ever built and is believed to be the second-oldest surviving example of the model.

The Lancia has had very few owners since new and was in the loving care of a single family for nearly three decades. In 2014, chassis 1009 received an show-quality restoration and was finished in the factory color of Grigio Newmarket, while the interior was reupholstered in correct Vaumol leather. That restoration earned the car Best of Show at the Colorado Concours d’Elegance in June 2014. This award-winning car retains its matching-numbers engine, is accompanied by a factory chassis log and build record, and is among the finest examples of Lancia’s most desirable road-going sports car.
