The rubber floor mats can now be replaced with exact replicas manufactured in Italy by Cicognani see www.cigognaniguarnizioni.it/Lancia-132 where there are listed items for B10-B21-B22; B12; B20, B24 Convertible, B24 Spider America & for B50. Some pages from an earlier catalogue follow, but the current listing is very comprehensive & covers all the rubber coverings & seals. There are a few anomalies concerning the details for specific models.

Thorough soundproofing below rubber mats or carpet is beneficial particularly on early cars, which were quite noisy. The insides of the doors and 3/4 panels and below the rear seats are other obvious areas for eliminating panel drumming. The bulkhead between the rear seats and the boot can also be made more soundproof. Originally a black bitumastic covering was applied to the floors & elsewhere.

Seats - B20 Models - Tav. 67 SI& Tav 68 SII

The seats of B20s were mainly covered in cloth (Panno) or in leather (Pelle) with the sides in leatherette.


The production records for each card show the type of covering & the colour. Most cars were fitted with two front bench seats with backs folding forward as most cars had a column gear-change.


Clearly there were special orders for coverings & for seats & for a floor gear-change.


The following illustrations are of the original, unrestored seats from a late 4th Series B20 - they are even marked faintly with the Pininfarina production number in yellow wax crayon.


Different seats were made for the 5th & for the 6th Series B20 cars - see next page.

The rear seat on the B20 up to & including the 4th Series is a minimal cushion covered in leatherette with an underlay of stitched black plastic over hessian in the same style as that covering the interior of the boot sides. No rear seat is listed for the 4th Series; in fact it is suppressed in the parts book. However a seat & back is listed for the 5th & 6th Series B20

B24 Spider & Early B24S Convertible Petrol Tank Covering & Seats

Ref: Tav.68


The following notes were contributed by Sebastien Simon, Switzerland in 2013 regarding his family's B24S-12xx


The cover for the fuel tank of B24 spider, and early B24 convertible (5th series), before the tank was put under the floor, is made of Resinflex. This company still exists (2013) at http://www.resinflex.com/Resinflex Srl, Via Reis Romoli, 256, 10148 Torino, ITALY. Tel: +39.011.2280.711 Fax: +39.011.22.64876; E-mail: info@resinflex.com


This fully original early 5th series convertible was subject to some restoration recently & the following photos show this part of the car with comments.

An Italian specialist of B24 spiders said that there were some variants for the tank cover on the spiders, so it is important to know what B24 one is talking about.

As it was originally. The full tank cover material is Resinflex. The hood is here just lying on top of it


There is a bottom, and then comes the tank, with its 2 straps, then a tank cover. You can also see the sides, behind the doors, which are of another material, leatherette maybe, but it does not match the door panels. Certainly original, but not very nice to the eye.

The seat backs are also leatherette, not the leather used on the top.

As our trimmer did it - It is non-original, but much nicer at least for the owner who retains this car
