1952 Lancia Aurelia B52 Coupe by Vignale
During its Amelia Island Sale, RM Sotheby's will auction one of the only five Lancia Aurelia B52 bodied by Vignale (only 98 Aurelia B52s in grand total). Very nice ride...
History of the Lancia Aurelia
Presented during the Turin Motor Show in 1950, the Lancia Aurelia was produced between 1950 and 1958 with different body styles (different coachbuilders) :
- B10 berlina,
- B20 a 2-door GT coupé,
- B24 a 2-door spider/convertible, some examples :
1956 Lancia Aurelia Spider B24 Convertible
1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spider America
Its name came from a Roman road, the Via Aurelia, from Rome to Pisa. This model was bodied by Vignale, Italian automobile coachbuilder founded in 1948 in Turin by Alfredo Vignale.
Specification
With its wheelbase increased over the B21, the Lancia Aurelia B52 has a 2.0 liter V6 engine. The chassis was sent to Vignale, only five B52s were bodied by this coachbuilder.
Recently restored, the B52 is finished in two tones, black & blue over a cream leather interior. Nice...

I'm wondering... With an infinite amount of $, what would be the top 100 cars to buy. It would be so difficult to choose only 100.
A Top 5 would be more than enough for me, just to take care of them and to drive them (
the top 3 is irremovable :-) ) :
Great looking car. The two tone paint job really highlights the nice lines
Nice design, with Vignale the coachwork has always great lines.
Interesting post, thanks for sharing. With so few of these cars available I'd expect it to fetch a high price. The car looks beautiful and the spider model is especially nice, if only I had a few hundred thousand to spare... ;)
Thanks... In 2017, a Lancia Aurelia B52 by Vignale was sold for €280,000. I need few dollars too :-)
Wowza! That's a lot of cash for a car but I guess in these cases the price can only go up.
