Engine

Red ('Rosso') with light beige leather interior

Chassis 1062 is a 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider, one of only 181 produced that year, bodied by Pinin Farina and finished in red over a light leather interior. Built on 14 June 1955 and first registered four days later, it entered the Piccolo Collection in the early 1970s as their inaugural acquisition, underwent light renovation, and has remained with that family for roughly five decades. All major components — engine, body, chassis, differential, front suspension, and steering box — are original and matching, verified by a Lancia Certificate of Authenticity.

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.
