The 1956 Lancia Aurelia B24S America Spider is set to go to auction in January. RM Auctions will be selling it off, at an event in Arizona on January 18th, yet if you were thinking of buying it, we have a word of warning: it is extremely expensive, as it is a ‘proper Lancia’ from the good ol’ days.
Expected to get very close to the $1-million mark, this drop top, with its stunning curvaceous body is the stuff of dreams for most motoring enthusiasts, yet very few can actually afford it. It is also a historic model, as it is the first production car ever to use a V6 engine, apparently, and this particular model, the B24S America is one of the most desirable post-war Italian sports cars, and the most desirable Lancia from that period.
It is truly a beautiful car in the full sense of the word, and if you have between $800,000 and $1-million just lying around the house, and you want to invest it in an Italian classic which will only gain value the more you hold onto it, then this is definitely the car for you!
