The Lancia Aurelia Chassis Register (In progress)

The Aurelia chassis register

We are trying to create a register of all Lancia Aurelia series B50, B51, B52, B53 and B55+B56 chassis.

Below you will find the selectable sheets divided by chassis type. At the bottom of each list you will find the cars that have not yet been assigned a number. The numbers already identified are clickable and redirect to the listing page of our database. When a number is not clickable and some informations are missing, it means that the car was not identified yet. When a car was produced in a small series (such as the B50 Cabriolet Pininfarina) you will find a single listing page dedicated to the model, and not to the single speciment.

We ask for help of all enthusiasts to complete the register. Subscribe to the website and comment below! Happy research to all!

This photo is a puzzle. Could it be reversed? According to the research by Wim Oude Weernink there were only two B56S 1005 and 1006 both Florida types by Pininfarina. They were upgraded from their B55S predecessors. The car that looks like this one by Ghia is B55-1004 dating from Jan to May 1955. It was for sale at Righini Auto in 2011 in White and Black. As far as Weernink records the only other car in the B55-B56 series that did not go to Pininfarina was B55S-1001 which is the Beuttler car which also still exists. My guess is the photo is a left-to-right reversal! Paul Mayo

Battista Reversario

Automobili Pininfarina has reached new heights of automotive craftsmanship with the introduction of the Battista Reversario, a bespoke creation inspired by the Battista Anniversario and the concept of balance. Representing the epitome of ‘Dream Cars. Made Real’, this latest offering underscores Automobili Pininfarina’s commitment to crafting truly unique vehicles in collaboration with its clients.

Each vehicle produced at Automobili Pininfarina’s Cambiano atelier is a testament to individuality, reflecting the distinct personality of its owner. The Battista Reversario stands as a prime example of this ethos, showcasing the level of personalization available to discerning clients.

Collaborating closely with Automobili Pininfarina designers, the client has conceived a one-of-a-kind vehicle that embodies their vision and preferences. Already a collector of automotive rarities, the client’s acquisition of the fifth and final Battista Anniversario model laid the groundwork for the creation of the Battista Reversario.

A standout feature of the Battista Reversario is its unique color scheme, meticulously crafted to be the inverse of the iconic Pininfarina heritage-inspired design theme that characterized the Anniversario. The lower body gleams in Bianco Sestriere gloss, contrasting elegantly with the upper body finished in Grigio Antonelliano gloss.

Continuing the theme, the pinstripes echo the upper stripe in the signature Iconica Blu hue. Custom inscriptions, including the vehicle’s distinctive ‘Reversario’ nameplate, adorn the carbon side wings and the underside of the active rear wing, both forward-facing and in reflection.

Inside the cabin, Pilota seats feature white-on-white Alcantara quilting against a perforated background in Iconica Blu. While the overall ambiance is predominantly black, accent details such as the cupholder retainer, headliner center bezel, and seatbelts are highlighted in Iconica Blu, lending a harmonious contrast.

Completing the ensemble is an exclusive three-piece luggage set tailored to the client’s lifestyle. Crafted from luxurious black leather with Iconica Blu accents and off-white Alcantara quilting, the set exemplifies the ultimate in bespoke craftsmanship.

Speaking on the creation of the Reversario, the client remarked, “Anniversario and Reversario were destined to be created by the Automobili Pininfarina team. I simply challenged them to understand what could be created if you follow your heart and passion. All credit goes to them.”

Dave Amantea, Chief Design Officer at Automobili Pininfarina, emphasized the significance of the Reversario as the ultimate expression of the company’s design philosophy. “Reversario was the ultimate commission. Taking inspiration from the original Anniversario, it is a reflection in every aspect, using a timeless combination of colors to create an opposite that works alone and together,” he stated.

Both the Battista Anniversario and Reversario stand as milestones in automotive history, representing the pinnacle of Italian engineering prowess. Powered by a cutting-edge electric powertrain, these hyper GTs offer unparalleled performance while embodying the luxury and elegance synonymous with the Pininfarina name.

With its blend of hypercar capabilities and GT comfort, the Battista series sets a new standard for automotive excellence, promising an exhilarating driving experience like no other. As the automotive world celebrates the harmony achieved through the creation of the Battista twins, Automobili Pininfarina reaffirms its commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive innovation.
