Chassis 1561 is a 1958 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible, a sixth-series open car combining the Aurelia's advanced V-6 drivetrain with Pininfarina coachwork. Completed on 4 April 1958 in light grey over red leather, it retains its original matching-numbers chassis and engine, as confirmed by a Lancia Certificate of Origin. The car's early history is unclear, though registration records document a Swiss provenance before its 2014 import to Italy, followed by ownership in Finland from 2022. It presents in restored condition with light blue paintwork, caramel leather, and chrome wire wheels.

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.
