Colour
Dark grey

A final-year 1958 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible, one of 521 left-hand-drive examples built, bodied by Pinin Farina and powered by a 2,451cc V-6 driving through a rear transaxle. Factory-assembled on 10 May 1958 and originally finished in red, the car spent roughly two decades in a prominent Ferrari collection around the turn of the millennium. It presents today in an older but well-maintained restoration in dark grey with cordovan leather trim, retaining its numbers-matching engine, front axle, and rear transaxle, as certified by the Registro Aurelia.

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.
