Description
The Lancia Aurelia B20 GT was never designed to be merely admired. It was built to cross countries at pace, to remain stable on imperfect roads, and to deliver refinement without surrendering mechanical honesty. In the early 1950s-when Europe was rebuilding its infrastructure and its confidence-Lancia produced a coupé that fused advanced thinking with everyday usability, creating one of the clearest definitions of what "grand touring" could mean.
This book follows the B20 GT as a complete, documented story: the postwar Lancia culture that made it possible, the engineering logic that shaped its V6 and transaxle layout, the series-by-series evolution that refined it, and the real-world proving grounds that established credibility-touring, endurance racing, and rallying. The emphasis stays firmly on verifiable record: design choices, production realities, period performance, and the measurable reasons the car earned results and respect.
Finally, the narrative carries the Aurelia into its second life: the transition from modern GT to collectible classic, the maintenance and restoration decisions that determine whether a car remains true to itself, and the stewardship culture that keeps B20s active today. The result is not nostalgia, but continuity-a clear account of why the Aurelia B20 GT remains a reference point for engineers, drivers, and serious collectors.
