Description1953-04-26 Mille Miglia Lancia Aurelia B20 Anselmi Maggio.jpg
English: Enrico Anselmi and Luigi Maggio starting the 1953 Mille Miglia in Lancia Aurelia B20 (third series), entry #547 ended in 7th place overall.[1] About these racing cars: "In early 1953 the factory prepared a second group of race cars, based on the third series B20. Steel production bodies were equipped with improvements, such as light weight sliding Perspex windows, flush door handles, special bucket seats, air scoop for ventilation, a revised fuel tank, better front brake venting, and two spare wheels. Long cables ran from the driver to the rear shocks for modifying shock settings while driving. With aluminum trunk and hood, weight was down 75 pounds from the production cars, but more notably, the cars featured the new GT 2500 motor, now with three twin-barrel Solexes, arranged in a “skewed” layout to fit on a factory manifold. Registered in March 1953, their first outing was at the Giro di Sicilia in April."[2]
