Modern Nardi? Is the heater not connected? Sitting a bit high at the back?

Radiator top not correct Radiator cap not correct for a series 4 Radiator blinds not connected Why is the interior of the bonnet body color, and not black? Multicolored electrical wiring, instead of black .... ... and finally, oh horror!, the button on the brake fluid reservoir is down! ;D Title: Re: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT 4th Series ..via The Old Racing Car company Post by: Parisien on 27 March, 2013, 10:03:46 PM So basically........this is a botched restoration.... :o...they need to start all over again......... ;D

Some of you might enjoy the comments thread; if you're not familiar with BaT it will at least give you a flavour of this slightly addictive website.

Some of you might enjoy the comments thread; if you're not familiar with BaT it will at least give you a flavour of this slightly addictive website. I particularly enjoyed this quote “It can sound like damning with faint praise or an exercise in pointlessness when you say that an old car drives in a modern way (then buy a newer car!), but a B20 has modernity where it matters and oldness where it matters more.”http://bringatrailer.com/2013/01/29/the-counts-coupe-1955-lancia-aurelia-b20-gt/ (http://bringatrailer.com/2013/01/29/the-counts-coupe-1955-lancia-aurelia-b20-gt/) Title: Re: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B20 GT 4th Series ..via The Old Racing Car company Post by: Parisien on 28 March, 2013, 07:29:10 PM Though strictly speaking very few of the cars on the BaT site are restoration jobs, its sort of been highjacked over a period. As Will says interesting comments plus you can filter the cars by country of origin if only interested in Italian cars, or a straight Lanica/Aurelia search
