1950 Lancia Aurelia Coupe

This Aurelia was delivered new to Italian racing driver Giovanni Bracco, who commissioned Carrozzeria Vignale to install a modern, sleek body. It is rumored Bracco showed his Vignale-bodied B50 to his friend Gianni Lancia, who liked the design and asked Mario Felice Boano to draw up a similar-looking Coupe on a shortened wheelbase - and the B20 GT was born. Bracco had the transaxle and front suspension modified at the factory and then took his B20 to the 1951 Mille Miglia - and finished second overall. Passing through various hands, the Aurelia returned to its roots in 1983 when it was purchased by Giulio Vignale and was kept until 2010 in Turin by the Vignale family. This Aurelia has never been restored; the interior and exterior are in original condition, and this stunning time capsule continues to be expertly maintained in good running order by the current caretaker.
