1955 Lancia Aurelia

The 1955 Lancia Aurelia B12 is one of the most distinguished Italian saloons of the 1950s. Featuring advanced engineering, including the legendary V6 engine and independent suspension, the Aurelia was far ahead of its time. This example underwent an older professional restoration and presents today as an elegant classic with room for further refinement.
