La Lancia Aurelia fu la prima vettura della storia a essere prodotta con un motore 6 cilindri a V di 60°. Nata del genio di Vittorio Jano e di Francesco de Virgilio, fu un’auto che metteva in luce tutto il genio e la creatività tecnica della Lancia. Frutto delle esperienze fatte prima della Seconda Guerra Mondiale con i formidabili motori a 4 e 8 cilindri a V stretta delle Aprilia e Dilambda, l’Aurelia rappresentava la Lancia del nuovo corso. La raffinatezza tecnica era espressa non solo dal V6 in alluminio, che veniva fuso in conchiglia ma anche dalla struttura portante, dalle ruote indipendenti e i freni entrobordo per ridurre le masse non sospese. Com’era consuetudine per i costruttori dell’epoca, L’Aurelia venne proposta in più varianti, fra cui spiccano le B20 e B20 allestite dalla Pininfarina di Torino. Oltre a queste “fuoriserie di serie”, la Lancia offriva anche un telaio studiato per essere venduto ai carrozzieri al fine di consentire realizzazioni personalizzate sulla formidabile meccanica dell’Aurelia. All’inizio del 1951, la Pininfarina si occupò di realizzare una piccola serie di circa 250 esemplari sul telaio B50, dove seppe realizzare un elegante cabriolet a passo lungo. Una potente ed elegantissima auto da gran turismo, la B50 di Pininfarina fu sotto ogni punto di vista una delle creazioni più eleganti della carrozzeria italiana degli anni 50.
Da nuova nella stessa famiglia, questa B50 Cabriolet Pininfarina del 1951 è stata immatricolata per la prima volta a Roma il 26 ottobre del 1951. Mai interamente restaurata, è sempre stata manutentata dalla stessa famiglia e conserva a oggi numerosi dettagli originali, fra cui l’interno, la trousse attrezzi e ovviamente la prima targa e libretto di immatricolazione. Splendida nella sua veste originale, questa B50 è pronta per passare nelle mani di una nuova proprietà che se ne prenderà cura negli anni a venire.
The Lancia Aurelia was the first car in history to be produced with a six-cylinder 60° V engine. The product of the genius of Vittorio Jano and Francesco de Virgilio, it was a car that showcased all of Lancia's technical genius and creativity. Fruit of the experience gained before the Second World War with the formidable 4- and 8-cylinder narrow V engines of the Aprilia and Dilambda, the Aurelia represented the Lancia of the new course. Technical refinement was expressed not only by the aluminium V6, which was shell cast, but also by the load-bearing structure, independent wheels and inboard brakes to reduce unsprung masses. As was customary for manufacturers of the time, the Aurelia was offered in several variants, most notably the B20 and B20 outfitted by Pininfarina of Turin. In addition to these 'mass-produced custom-built cars', Lancia also offered a chassis designed to be sold to coachbuilders to allow custom builds on the Aurelia's formidable mechanicals. At the beginning of 1951, Pininfarina was responsible for building a small series of around 250 examples on the B50 chassis, where they created an elegant long-wheelbase cabriolet. A powerful and elegant grand touring car, Pininfarina's B50 was in every respect one of the most elegant creations of Italian coachbuilding in the 1950s.
Always belonged to the same family, this 1951 B50 Cabriolet Pininfarina was first registered in Rome on 26 October 1951. Never fully restored, it has always been maintained by the same family and retains many original details to this day, including the interior, tool kit and, of course, the first registration plate and registration book.
Beautiful in its original condition, this B50 is ready to pass into the hands of a new owner who will take care of it for years to come.
