Lancia Aurelia

Here are a couple of photographs I took at the Oulton Park Gold Cup meeting in August 2004 showing two cars which competed in the HSCC Historic Road Sports Championship Race.

Both Lancia Aurelia B20s, the one on the left is Chris Gawne's 1953 Series III model, and the one on the right is Tim Burrett's 1952 Series II model. I've featured Chris Gawne's car previously, in August 2014 with a photograph I took of it in a distressed condition at the auction associated with the Northern Classic Car Show in September 1985.

Here's Tim Burrett during the race at the Foulstons chicane leading the Jaguar XK120 of Dick Skipworth and the Ginetta G15 of Mark Wilson.

Lancia Aurelia B20 GT

I went to quite a few of the Northern Classic Car Shows in Manchester in the 1980s and early 1990s, first at one of the old Belle Vue exhibition halls and later at the G-MEX Centre, formerly the Manchester Central railway station (not 'train' station) and now the Manchester Central Convention Complex. These shows usually included an auction of vehicles and today's photograph is of a rather dilapidated Lancia Aurelia B20 GT amongst the auction lots at the Belle Vue show in September 1985.

There are three photographs of a Lancia Aurelia with the number plate OFV 570 on Flickr, though it's now painted green, the car seems to have lost its distinctive mesh radiator grille and there are also minor changes to the lower part of the front of the car. One of the photographs says that the car is a 1953 model and another says it's from 1958 - I'd guess it's the older model.
