information

1954 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT Series IV

2-door GT Coupe following a design of Felice Mario Boano at Ghia, constructed by Pinin Farina 

2451cc pushrod V6-engine, producing 118bhp, top speed of approx 180km/h

Designed by the legendary Vittorio Jano, the Lancia Aurelia B20 GT proved a formidable competitor distinguishing itself on the Mille Miglia (2nd overall 1951), Le Mans 24-hours (class win, 1951 and 1952), Targa Florio (outright win, 1952), Liege-Rome-Liege (1st overall, 1953) and Monte Carlo Rally (outright win, 1954). The road car choice of contemporary F1 drivers Juan Manuel Fangio, Jean Behra and Mike Hawthorn, the sleek, fastback Coupe bristled with innovation including independent ‘sliding-pillar’ front suspension, a compact aluminium V6 engine (a first for a production car), rear-mounted transaxle with inboard drumbrakes, and first car provided with radial tires!

Evolving through six series starting in 1951, a mere 3,121 had been sold by the time that production ceased in June 1958.

In many ways the Fourth Series cars with their elegant styling, increased torque and new ‘De Dion’ rear suspension (instead of the original semi-trailing-arm arrangement) were the best compromise between the sporting and minimalist exuberance of the two litre cars and the comfortable but heavier and less lively Fifth and Sixth Series.

Definition (legal): Consignment is the act of giving over to another person or agent’s charge, custody or care any material or goods but retaining legal ownership until the material or goods are sold.  The EB collection will discuss all options in order to find the right strategy for the sale of your specific motorcar. That may be done for the purpose of shipping the goods, transferring the goods to auction or intending the goods to be placed on sale in a store (a consignment store). Ask for our conditions here.

Either you can offer your car yourself using the specialized paid media channels, or you can ask a professional dealer or auction house to do it for you. When choosing for the 2nd option, you will no longer have to arrange publicity, invite potential buyers at your home , neither will you have to deal with the paperwork and (international) handling after the sale. In short, you opt for convenience and you make indirect use of the EB Collection’s international network and expertise. Contact us for more information about our services.

The EB Collection is dealing with collector cars of great importance and historical significance. Our main interest and focus goes to European motorcars from the 1920-1959 era and we’re looking for extremely rare motorcars only. All cars offered must be driving and provided with valid registration and insurance. Do not hesitate to contact us for further details.  

Finding the right buyer (at the right price) for your classic car is a time consuming process and thus can take weeks but mostly months . Condition, rarity and history are the key criteria and can all have an impact on the duration of the sales process. These and other can accelerate or slow down the sale of your motorcar. International (and oversees) buyers often prefer to come and see and/or test drive the car themselves (or appoint an expert to do this for them). In order to ease the process the EB Collection offers a broad variety of solutions to both future buyers and sellers. Curious how we can help you?
