Belna or Augusta?
« 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.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/auto-Depoca-DUNE-BUGGY-SWISS-SVIZZERA-altra-LANCIA-BELNA-AUGUSTA-SPIDER/293456852763?hash=item445364371b:g:jAEAAOSwvjVevkVd

Looks like he might also be breaking an Aurelia B15 that looks like it really ought to be saved? Never seen one like this before!

But from other pictures it looks like parts have been removed already and it's too far gone now?

No connection to the seller.

IMHO a Belna. The wheels with hub caps, bonnet clip, radiator grill, head lights point very much to Belna.

I agree. Definitely a Belna.

And the Aurelia in the second listing? Ministeriale?

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

Not cost effective to restore but as a labour of love surely worthwhile?

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.

When you see it stripped down I agree it is pretty grim.

On seeing the original B15 advert I though 30 Euros sounded reasonable for transport - then I saw that the ad is for 4 brakedrums!! ;D

The Belna is mighty pricey as a project
