Equipment
RHD. Folding sunroof, Black wheels, hubcaps, Michelin X tires, woodrim steering wheel, Autovox multiband radio, ashtrays on each front seatback.
Condition
Very good cosmetics with a little driver's and passenger's seat cushions. The underbody is redone to quality driver standards. One of five believed bodied by Vignale, restored in the 90's, a class winner at Pebble Beach in 1995 and meticulously maintained since so it is still in lovely condition.
Market commentary
It's most likely accurate to observe that this Aurelia B52 with its Vignale coupe coachwork has a specialized appeal, as does its aged Italian restoration. The reported high bid here is appropriate and the consignor's decision to decline it sets up another search for the right venue and bidders. Don't be surprised to see it turn up later this year somewhere else with a moderated estimate range and consignor's expectations
