Title: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: Sliding Pillar on 21 January, 2009, 07:59:45 PM There are four Aurelias in the 7th feb 2009 sale by Bonhams at Retromobile, Paris.
B20s 4th series ex 1955 Turin show car. Guide 60-80,000 euro. B20 4th series Milie Miglia history? 110-140,000 euro. B24s Convertible 6th series matching numbers featured on cover of 'Lancia Aurelia in detail' 140-180,000 euro. B24s Spyder very original 3 owner car 325-385,000 euro. Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: DavidLaver on 21 January, 2009, 10:40:02 PM I've never understood the difference in value between a spider and convertable - and my preferance has always been the convertable. Out of interest - how many did they make of each?
David Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: Sebastien on 22 January, 2009, 10:25:39 AM Too many Aurelias at auction perhaps?
There will also be a B24 spider (B24-1046) for sale at Artcurial. This one is estimated at 260 -300.000 . David, regarding numbers produced: Spider B24 - 59 Spider B24S - 181 Total spider: 240 Convertible B24S - 150 + 371 = 521 Have a look at: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancia_Aurelia_B24#Le_tre_serie_della_B24 This wikipedia page has a LOT of information about all Aurelias!

http://www.classic-auctions.com/lotdetail.php?&lotid=26375&aucid=26915 Seems a few owners are taking advantage of the ever-rising prices of the Aurelia. Hope they all find good buyers, Adam Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: ncundy on 02 February, 2009, 09:31:40 AM The owner of that car was at the NEC. I had a long chat with him. I believe he bought the car from a collection in Italy last year (or so) and had it restored (refreshed ?) at Omicron recently. Price seems a bit stiff.
Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: GreenB20 on 08 February, 2009, 12:41:54 PM Sold prices in Euros inc comission on 8th Jan were:
Black 4th series B20: 69,000 Silver B24 Convertible: 155,250 Cream B24 Spider: 315,500 The other B20 did not sell. Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: Aurelia Adam on 09 February, 2009, 06:28:04 PM To get three out of four cars away in this current climate is encouraging, all of them at solid prices as well.
The only failure was clearly optimistic at that estimate. Interesting to see how the Ex-Lancia UK B20 GT 7 LME goes at H&H in a few weeks. Adam Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: Sebastien on 11 February, 2009, 06:46:42 AM The Aurelia spider at the Artcurial sale did not sell. The estimate was 310.000 .
However one of the very few cars sold was a Fulvia Fanalone that went for 45.272 . Title: Re: Aurelias at Bonhams Retromobile sale Post by: ColinMarr on 12 February, 2009, 10:14:17 AM Adam,
What a fantastic photograph! Thanks for posting it. Presumably this is the Johnny Claes 1953 Liege-Rome-Liege winning car on what looks like an interesting mountain pass, but where does the photo come from? If its from a book, please tell us more.

Glad you liked the pic though cannot add any info on who it is or where it comes from. In moments of boredom, I occasionally Google "Aurelia B20 GT" and find all sorts of historical pics and then just save them to my PC ... so here's another one for your further viewing pleasure. Adam |
