Chassis B24S-1602 is a 1958 Lancia Aurelia B24 Convertible, one of just 521 built, finished originally in Grigio with a red leather interior. As a late-series example it carries the distinctive four-headlamp front treatment and retains a rare removable hardtop. The car is currently powered by a 1955 fourth-series B20 engine. The B24 Convertible represented the refined culmination of Lancia's post-war Aurelia line, itself historically notable as the first production car to feature a V-6 engine.

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.
