This Aurelia project is very close to being finished, with the hardest part of bringing it to excellent condition already complete. It is no exaggeration to say that only painting and assembly is required at this stage.
She comes with the full clothed interior, all mechanical and trim parts, as well as brand new tyres. Additionally, there are a number of redundant spare parts which the previous long-term owner has collected over the years. For instance, two engine blocks are available - one dry-assembled and modified to run on unleaded gasoline, ready for installation. This engine is already restored, with brand new pistons and cylinders.
The car was registered in 1963 to its owner in the United Kingdom until 2007, when it was purchased by the present owner - who set about restoring it at the highest level. Before 2007, some excellent work had already been performed on the mechanics (all parts are either NOS or excellently preserved) and on expertly re-plating all chrome elements.
In 2008, the Aurelia was transported to its current location in Greece. Work on the body began in May 2010, requiring relatively little since everything was still in the correct shape and only isolated surface rust was present. Door and bonnet skins were replaced with new panels.
The work was completed in 2012 and subsequently the body was stripped to bare metal in preparation for repainting. Currently, the primers have been applied and the Lancia is ready for the first coat of paint. The Aurelia registro specifies that the original colour combination of this car is Azzuro with grey interior.
This Mille-Miglia eligible sensation is awaiting her next caretaker to offer her the spark of a renewed life!
