The Aurelias of Richard Reichek

I have developed a bad case of Lanciaitus since purchasing this B24S in August of 1993. Since then I have also adopted a 1954 Aurelia B20S which has had a ground up restoration and a Appia Zagato Type 3, 1962. They are all great cars, each with its own distinctive characteristics and personality. The Convertible is a great top down touring car and reminds me of a miniature Cadillac with sporting attitude and great exhaust tones from the dual exhausts. The best trip I ever took with it was one summer from San Francisco to Victoria, British Columbia. ( See Bridge photo ) It was a fabulous 2 weeks and the top never went up! On the return leg, I took the Pacific Coast Highway from Washington to California with great sightseeing all the way. It has been a great joy to own but I have recently decided because of health reasons to pass it on to another Lancisti. Incidently, the B24 was used in the filming of "Any Given Sunday" and was supposed to be Al Pacino's car. Only in Hollywood does a football coach drive a Lancia.
