On another site........ This "matching numbers" B20 GT 5. Series was purchased new by a French chansonier. since 1963, it is owned exclusively by one family. Fully restored between 1998 and 2003. The engine is sensational. Lancia Aurelia B20 This seduced by its manipulation and driveability. A unique opportunity to acquire an elegant icon with a comprehensive and unique history. LHD claret Interior: cream - bordeaux www.scuderia-sportiva-colonia.com Is this colour bordeaux or correct name amaretto? P Title: Re: B20 prices........on the up?

If it were mine I would try to alter the paint finish if at all possible, Its a bit like the metallic paints of the 50's and early 60's - they really weren't all that bright and shiny. Something to do with the size of the metallic particles in the paint then and also the absence of lacquer I believe. It took 'my' paintshop a while to take this on board and they now have reliable techniques and suppliers to get the metallic finish to be pretty authentic - my current early 4th Series B20 project which I am working on has been painted the original metallic grey colour by them and in my eyes looks lovely.
