Market commentary
The Aurelia B20 GT's appeal is based upon its free-revving V6's performance and the renowned handling of the all independent suspension that proved itself against all out race cars in the Mille Miglia in the early 50's. This result reflects the respect the B20 GTs earned and the quality of this example's restoration. The buyer's persistence nearly at the end of a very long day in Bonhams auction tent was rewarded with a great car at a generous but ultimately fair price.
