This Lancia B24S (for 'Sinistra' or left hand drive) Convertible has only had three owners from new. Dr. Jerome Levinson of Poway, California, took delivery of his new convertible in 1959. This Aurelia, while built in 1957, carries a title dated 1959.
When new, it was finished in Silver with its rare optional hardtop finished in black over a red interior. Early on, Dr. Levinson changed the color of the car's exterior, choosing Pino Verde metallizato, or pine green metallic for the body and pale green metallic for the hardtop.
Dr. Levinson retained the car for nearly three decades. When he sold the car, it had approximately 50,000 miles on the odometer. It was sold to Mr. Robert Scarpone of San Anselmo, California, in 1987. Mr. Scarpone hired the current owner to gently re-commission the car. In his care, he replaced the original steel wheels with the Borrani wire wheels which it wears today. The carpets were replaced and fitted a replacement soft top. After using the Lancia sparingly in the first few years of his ownership, he took it off the road, removing and disassembling the engine in anticipation of a full restoration to follow.
For 15 years, the Aurelia rested in that state in clean storage. The current owner was able to negotiate its purchase from Mr. Scarpone in 2005. During the next five years, he carefully rebuilt and balanced the engine and all other driveline components, and rebuilt the brakes.
Modifications have been made to the vehicle over the year, including fitting an electric fuel pump to prime the carburetor and to assist in high-altitude running. The voltage regulator has also been converted to electronic operation. It rides on correct Pirelli Cinturato tires and has a Borrani wire wheel as a spare.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2013
