Everything is possible in life, but it is highly unlikely that someone wouldn’t appreciate the sleek and elegant lines of an Aurelia B24S, especially if we’re talking about a first-series example like this one.
An example (chassis B24S-1040) that, by the way, is said to be preserved, so we assume that the seller means it has not been restored or that it has only undergone minor extraordinary maintenance, such as a light respray of its original color, since paint rarely withstands the test of time after 70 years, or the rear taillights belonging to a Giulietta 750, with their mandatory orange turn signal from 1959.
In any case, what we like most is still seeing the original Rome license plate on it, with such a low number: just ten years later, the numbering would have almost tripled, giving an idea of the spread of cars after the economic boom that began precisely in the years when this B24S was produced. Find it for sale here in Lizzano in Belvedere, Italy.

It looks a lot like one that was always being displayed in front of a restaurant in Trastevere, although I can’t remember the interior colour of that one.
Beautiful car, although the humble Aurelia berlina is my favourite body style…

According to http://www.italiatarghe.it web site records the license Roma 261418 had been released on July 1956, and the car is described as a 1955 one with a previous license.
So not exactly its first numberplate, possibly the second one.

Or, maybe, the car has been produced in ‘55 and sold one year later. We have a car with a story like this.

The Italian web site dedicated to license plates mentions the existence of a previous plate, possibly not from Rome province: it lists this Aurelia as a 1955 one, with a previous license (reimmatricolata), it could have been even a Rome province license plate, then lost, damaged or stolen. In Italy, since now, the circulation document that goes with the plates could be reprinted in case of loss/damage/steal, the two plates absolutely not.
