I-ELBA is a 1969 Beechcraft B55 Baron, a well-presented example of Beechcraft’s highly regarded high-performance piston twin.

With just 2,383 hours total airframe time, the aircraft is powered by two Continental IO-470-L six-cylinder engines producing 260 hp each. Importantly, the engine times differ significantly: the left-hand engine has approximately 995 hours since new, while the right-hand engine was fully overhauled in 2024 and has zero hours since overhaul. This means buyers should assess the remaining life and maintenance position of each engine independently rather than treating them as a matched-time pair.  

The B55 Baron combines strong twin-engine performance with a comfortable cabin and proven cross-country capability, making it particularly well suited to private ownership, business flying and longer-distance European touring.

Based in Brescia, Italy, this Beechcraft B55 Baron for sale in Europe represents an attractive opportunity for pilots seeking a capable, low-airframe-time piston twin, with the additional benefit of a freshly overhauled right-hand engine.
