This 1959 Lancia Aurelia B24S Convertible is presented as a long-hidden discovery and one of the most desirable open Aurelia variants. The “B24S” designation refers to the Sinistra (left-hand drive) configuration, and the model is described as one of 521 built. As the more developed evolution of the earlier B24 Spider, the Convertible retained the same elegant open grand-touring character but added real roll-down windows, a more comfortable cabin, and a top intended to make the car more practical beyond fair-weather use.

The car is described as having remained with the same owner for roughly 50 years and stored out of public view, which aligns with what is visible in the photos: an unrestored, heavily aged example showing long-term storage wear. The exterior is said to be silver with a red interior, and the overall presentation suggests a complete restoration candidate rather than a car to recommission and drive. The listing also notes that new windshield glass is included, a useful detail but only a small part of what a full restoration entails.

A key claim is that the car retains its numbers-matching V6 engine, an important point for authenticity on an Aurelia and one that would be worth verifying through engine stamping and documentation. Taken as a whole, this is best understood as a very original, long-stored B24S Convertible that will require comprehensive work across body, structure, mechanicals, interior, trim, and weather equipment to return it to proper condition. If its identity and major components check out, it represents a strong basis for a correct restoration of one of the rarest and most complete open Aurelia configurations.
