The Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible represents the final and most refined evolution of one of postwar Italy's most celebrated automobiles. Introduced in 1956 as the successor to the earlier Spider America, the B24S Convertible was bodied by Pinin Farina and powered by a 110bhp 2.5-litre V6. Chassis 1519, first registered in January 1958, underwent a comprehensive restoration between 2007 and 2009 by three Italian specialist workshops at a combined cost of over €57,000, and is accompanied by full invoices and a FIVA Identity Card.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
