The car's preservation status is excellent, with a beautiful patina that adds to its charm

The black bodywork shines in the sun, just like the elegant factory-correct Panno Nocciola (hazelnut) wool, both splendidly preserved over the years. The original carpets, mille righe, are a touch of authenticity, they have preserved their original beauty.

The car's stylish interior boasts a perfectly functioning Blaupunkt radio, a Nardi wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a sought-after floor shifter Nardi gearbox. The headlights on the exterior are in excellent condition and have all the Carello inscriptions and serial numbers of components, indicating a well-preserved history. The exterior livery is complemented by the Borrani wire wheels, which are presumed to be a request from the first Torinese owner.

The mechanical aspect is handled with the expertise of a skilled mechanic; the engine has been restored by a Milanese Lancia Aurelia specialist, and the 6-cylinder engine is prepared to propel the car onto new roads with its new owner.

Another component added later is the 5-tone horns that come from the Lancia Aurelia B24 featured in the film Il Sorpasso.

This Lancia Aurelia B20 not only possesses intrinsic beauty but also has its original Torino license plate and period logbook. It has had only two owners and the second owner, was the famous Italian Lancia restorer, Maximilian Cappa. Both owners have taken great care of the car and kept it only in the garage. Silvano Cima, the former vice president of Club Italia, and all Club members, owns this Lancia Aurelia B20.
