1952 Lancia Aurelia B20

This car took part in the HSCC Pre ‘60 Historic Sports Car Championship Race at the Historic Sports Car Club's Spring Historic race meeting at Oulton Park in May 1987.

It's the 1952 Lancia Aurelia B20 of Tim Burrett. The B20 Series I car was introduced in 1951 with a 1,991cc V6 engine, followed by the Series II car, 721 of which were produced between 1952 and 1953 and which had a more powerful version of the same engine. The programme of the event says that this car has the 2,451cc V6 engine that was only introduced with the Series III car in 1953.

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.
