Lancia Aurelia B50 Coupé Vignale

Chassis

#B50-1044

Build on one of the earliest Lancia B50 chassis in June 1950, this car carries influential coupé coachwork by Carrozzeria Vignale, whose chief designer at the time was Giovanni Michelotti.

Vehicle Overview

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 Coupé on a shortened wheelbase-and the B20 GT was born. 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.
