The Lancia Aurelia Rosa d Oro Pininfarina is a remarkable automobile that exemplifies the artistry and innovation of Italian automotive design in the early 1950s. Unveiled at the 1951 Paris Auto Salon, this stunning vehicle was built on the Aurelia B50 chassis and quickly garnered attention for its exquisite styling and elegant proportions. The name Rosa d Oro, which translates to Golden Rose, was not its official designation; rather, it was adopted after the car won the prestigious Golden Rose Prize at the 1952 Geneva Show, a testament to its exceptional design. The Aurelia Rosa d Oro featured a striking two-tone paint job that enhanced its sophisticated aesthetic, showcasing the impeccable craftsmanship for which Pininfarina was renowned. This elegant color scheme not only highlighted the car s sleek lines but also contributed to its allure, making it a standout at auto shows and among collectors. Following the initial success of the Rosa d Oro, Pininfarina went on to produce two similar specimens but based on the B52 chassis, specifically the #B52-1022 and the #B52-1095.
Admire with me this unique piece of Lancia history. Of this extremely elegant Pinin Farina designed Aurelia, only 3 cars were fabricated of which only 2 are still known to exist. This Lancia was named "Rosa d'Oro" because she won this title at the Geneva Concours D'Elegance in 1952. Found by an Italian Lancia enthusisast in a somewhat neglected state, this "Rosa d'Oro" was completely rebuild by classic Lancia professionals several years ago. The nut & bolt restoration is very well documented with lots of photographs. Looking at the car at present, she has gained again a charming zest of patina which makes her, in my opinion, even more attractive. Mechanically, she is still in a first class condition because after her restoration, she was mainly used for Lancia Club meetings. This "Rosa d'Oro" can be found in any Lancia book and represents one of the most exclusive Aurelia models ever produced. Apart from her for the early 50ies very airy modern lines, demonstrating the skills of Maestro Pinin Farina, this Aurelia features of course also the typical technical Aurelia caracteristics (aluminium V6 2liter - transaxle gearbox and rear axle - all round independant suspension, etc...) A perfect Lancia addition to anyones prestigious "one-off" collection.
