Title: Belna or Augusta? Post by: SanRemo78 on 02 August, 2020, 10:15:50 AM Listing on eBay for the beach buggy also has a very nice looking Lancia €55,000 but I can't tell if it's a Belna or an Augusta from the two pics in the listing.

Never seen one like this before! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RICAMBI-auto-Depoca-LANCIA-AURELIA-B15-4-TAMBURI-FRENI-completi-di-GANASCE/293090656815?hash=item443d90822f:g:nRAAAOSw7aNccwS1 But from other pictures it looks like parts have been removed already and it's too far gone now? No connection to the seller. Guy Title: Re: Belna or Augusta? Post by: Kari on 02 August, 2020, 02:32:03 PM IMHO a Belna. The wheels with hub caps, bonnet clip, radiator grill, head lights point very much to Belna.

Title: Re: Belna or Augusta? Post by: Sliding Pillar on 03 August, 2020, 05:37:35 AM The Aurelia is the factory 6 light saloon, simply called the B15. Sadly not worth restoring, there is a nice one that has been for sale in Italy for a long time. https://www.subito.it/auto/lancia-altro-modello-anni-50-roma-289782932.htm?from=areariservata

Post by: SanRemo78 on 03 August, 2020, 12:10:17 PM Too late - if you look at the link I posted and then look at the items for sale by the seller now you'll see the state it's in now. Dismantled.
One of the links I saw yesterday showed a divide between the front and rear compartments with a long down bench rather than the two fold down chairs in the other B15 link has.

The Belna is mighty pricey as a project Mike |
