B20 photography

[RobD]

Here's another Moto Giro gem, it's a film of the 1955 event and the camera car is an Aurelia convertible. There's some stunning aerial footage of the car. If you don't like bikes fast forward to 1m 59s ...

Very good! I rather like those small motorcycles from that period. Does the camera car still exist I wonder?

OFV570 is alive and well with me Richard. Heres a photo when I bought it in the early 90's (didn't dare open the doors for fear of sagging as there were no floors or inner sills!) and then at Donington in October this year.
Lots of new metal before it was back on the road in 1998.!

Of course! I should have guessed that, as there is mention of a green paint finish in the article. Hopefully the 1985 photo is of interest to anyone who hasn't seen it before.

Whats the article you refer to Richard? There were only very small traces of green paint when I stripped the car and I don't think the guy I bought it from even knew the car was once green.
Funnily enough I bumped into him again at Goodwood in March this year.

Just re-read my post after the 72nd Members Meeting at Goodwood in March:
'Funnily enough the guy I bought OFV570 from 19 years ago as a wreck for spares, Andrew Purcell from Wrexham with whom I have had no contact since,  turned up for a chat in the paddock and muttered that he wished he had hung onto the car. Strangely enough, about 6 months ago out of the blue someone contacted me and sent me a photo of the car at an auction in Manchester in the early 80's where it was sold for £175.....to Andrew Purcell!
Bearing in mind I paid Andrew £1,500 for the car in 1994 I was able to tell him he actually did alright!!'.

The photo you have posted is the one from that Manchester auction in the early 80's I believe when the car sold for £175.
Small world.

.                              From the vintage sportscar blog "There are three photographs of a Lancia Aurelia with the number plate OFV570 on Flickr, though now painted green, the car seems to have lost it's distinctive mesh radiator grille and there are also minor changes to the lower part of the front of the car" £175!! I like the sound of that. A week's wages for some of us in 1985

I have a recent photo of this car from the web at the 2011 Coppa-Milano-Sanremo [http://drpianale.wordpress.com/2011/03/14/coppa-milano-sanremo-2011-3-di-3/]
It is clearly a 2nd Series, but I'd like to know the chassis number, although I think it may be B20-2030.  It was also on the 2011 Mille Miglia #144 and the 2010 Mille Miglia #170.
There is a car, which I think is the same car which was advertised on the web as in the attached photo.  The chassis looks like B20-2030.  The photos showed a Mille Miglia number 507 and an old photo of a car with the same number.  But the caption is wrong and I put my researches into the following thread.  Unresolved so far.

When I was 14 or 15 years old - 1989 or 1990 - we got a call about a hidden B22 at "Bob's Used Auto Parts" in Kingston, New York.

This was the scene upon arrival. I had gotten some 35mm black and white film somehow for free.

Just to rub it in, it even seems to have had ali rimmed Borranis!
