This Lancia Aurelia B20 was uprated from standard with a floor gear change and a more powerful engine. Giovanni Bracco drove it in the 1951 Mille Miglia with Umberto Maglioli, and it finished second overall behind Villoresi's Ferrari 340 America. Bracco continued his success with the car throughout the 1951 season, winning the Caracalla Night Race, a first in class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and winning the Pescara 6 Hour race. Prior to the Pescara race, the roof was lowered, the bodywork modified, and the engine power increased. In October, the car was flown to Mexico for the second running of the Carrera Panamericana, where it sadly retired on the fourth stage after a strong showing. It remained in Mexico after the Panamericana and by the mid-1950s it was in the United States. In 2011 it was found in Texas by Italian Lancia Aurelia aficionado Daniele Turrisi and returned to Europe, where it was acquired by the current owner, who restored it to its Carrera Panamericana specification.
