The first V6 production engine fitted in the Lancia Aurelia was actually designed by Francesco De Virgilio working for Lancia all his life from 1939. The story is well told in the magnificent book "Lancia and De Virgilio at the center" by Geoffrey Goldberg

What a genuinely beautiful guest. One of the nicest guy on the show ever. Thank you Jay for bringing him on. Great episode.

[@timsbike4887]

Its only a simple STRIPE but is does so much. The owner really knows what he is doing. Stunning car. Lots of little changes that you dont at first notice like the wheel lips , nickel over chrome , the blue etc etc etc. Class act this one.

[@thereisnospoon52]

I think maybe if that stripe was the same color as the rims. Less bright white. But that would be my only criticism of this amazing creation.

[@timsbike4887]

@@thereisnospoon52 It balances well with the nickel and number plates then the wheels lead you into the leather. Man splitting hairs but yep its a nice one. Id probably go a deep oxblood stripe and leather if it were mine but only dreaming it could be poo brown and id still love it.

[@gteefxr3094]

Nickel over chrome or nickel instead of chrome?

The stripe reminds me of the leather belts that used to hold hoods closed.

I was chatting with my dad about stand up comedians the day before Jay's accident, and I told him the only one I would pay to see is Jay Leno if he did a tour. He's a man of many personalities and talents, and I wish Mr. Leno a healthy recovery, and some his loved ones some peace of mind.

[@davidfreyta3857]

As Jay said about this car "very nicely done". I have told many people that a factory stock car or truck is just a good place to start. A well thought out modification is truly a work of art and does not lose the identity of the original. I really liked the owners outlook on what he wanted from the car. I would have loved to see a couple of the before pictures in this video. Jay, sorry to hear of your accident. Godspeed in your recovery. You are one of the best of us.

Those that created this masterpiece have moved on yet their work moves us that are still living - such things define who we were after we're no longer here to speak for ourselves. Thanks to Leno and all "stewards" of worthwhile things for reminding us the quality of people that once roamed and created!

I wasn't expecting a video this week. I heard that Jay is recovering good and very happy to hear that. I bet not breaking the weekly video postings makes Jay happy as much as it makes us happy. Thanks to his team :) Carry on the blue denim spirit :)

[@Lucky14970]

You think Jay didn't have one, two, or dozens of these vid's in the can?! Come on guy, this is Hollywood, he probably does like 5 in a day and chills for a month until its time to do it again. That's how it works around there. Now if all the sudden he stops posting weekly videos for more then a few weeks, I'd say Jay's burn was a lot more serious then made out to be.

[@ericervin4778]

Get well, Jay.

[@V8mudderboik]

Speedy recovery Jay ! I do a lot of work for the Lancia guys in Australia - some are "100% originality" and some are happy to make "appropriate" improvements - which always makes the end product a better / safer / more reliable machine in my opinion. The example in this video is just gorgeous.

[@dogpaw775]

Jay gets a day off, no having to squeeze an answer out of this dude, you can see he's 100% petrol head and into his motor, gorgeously executed.

[@jazzfan6]

Although I'm a big Lancia fan, I always thought the stock Aurelia B20 GT Coupe looked a little dowdy; this is one of the few cases where I think the mods to the appearance of a classic improve on the original. It looks sexy but tasteful. I enjoyed Mr. Otto's comments, too. Jay, I hope you have a speedy and painless recovery (as painless as possible, anyway). Get well soon!

Thornely Kellam did an absolutely superb job with this Outlaw resto-mod recreation. As the owner of an original mid-50's B20S Aurelia GT with the Nardi conversion that Otto talked about in the beginning if the video I would say this is how an modern update should be done. Thanks for sharing. Stunning vehicle.

[@RobGordon35]

Beautiful car. The mods really make the car shine.

[@josephconsoli4128]

Superbly done. The proportions are flawless. I like how the lowered body makes the beautiful front end stand out more than on stock models. I would not call this one a hotrod by any means. It's custom coachbuilding at its finest. Congratulations on leaving the hospital Jay! Looking forward to seeing you back soon.

First of all I hope Jay is well, and I was sorry to hear about the accident. Secondly, I've known about this car for at least a year now and I was so stoked to see this on Jays show. I'm kind of obsessed with Lancia, particularly the rally racers of the 70's/80's:The Fulvia, Stratos, 037, Delta are some of the coolest cars ever made. But I came across this car and it really caught my attention. I'm not a fan of the real Aurelias, but this outlaw is amazing. I'm usually not that big on outlaws either, but those classic Porsche outlaws were also exceptions. Amazing car. Better than the original IMO.

[@alexbrown1995]

Delightful car. Really well done and thought out. Love your work, sir!

[@dennyny8]

I absolutely despise chopped tops. This build however, is quite beautiful. It has ever so slight hints of modern day Bently, or Bond era Aston Martin. The stripe in itself is unusual as it is transverse on the hood of the car. At first I thought it was a belt harness, but as I watched the video, I noticed it was a painted stripe. I do like it. It lets you know from the start, that what's to be expected is something unique and one of a kind. No question that it's a race car, and that is its intention regardless of the creature comforts. Happy to see this video. Eager to hear more news on your recovery Jay. Be well.
