While the Superleggera Touring coupe, or Sport Zagato are often associated with the Flaminia, it's actual roots are derived from the Pininfarina variety - a succession of the Florida II (also designed by Pf), and an unmistakably beautiful car. With two doors removed, and a slightly shorter wheelbase, the coupe still offered a surprising amount of room for two rear-seat occupants... something hardly considered by Touring and completely void in the Zagato versions.

The Pf Flaminia retained the 2.5L V-6 of Aurelia fame. The rear mounted trans-axle and de Dion suspension (now with a panhard rod) were also continued, though the car was updated to a double wishbone front and disc brakes all around.Slightlyheavier than the offerings from other coach houses, it was a true GT car and appreciably more practical! Reliability was a well known and appreciated standard of the Lancia company... Read on below for a superb example of this renowned quality.

This car is an incredible representation of the car that Lancia made so popular. Highly original throughout, a walk around the car affords a close-up view of the excellent build quality of these cars. Opening any of the moving panels rewards you as a time-capsule would, showing off a remarkably well preserved interior, engine bay and trunk. Even exiting this car is pleasurable, as you notice the ease and authority of closing the doors. A repaint in 1985is not without some wear, but it has held up well and compliments the patina in a presentable fashion. This car was a long-time resident of the dry, Americansouthwest. As such,this isa very solid and dry car; a preservation piece for the true Lancia enthusiast.

Not only pretty, this is a running and driving example with some recent service by Classic Investments (new battery; oil changed; upper radiator hose replaced; carb removed, cleaned and adjusted; NOS fuel pump installed and worn lines replaced; fuel tank cleaned and lined; compression tested [low of 125 with all others registering 135-145] and spark plugs cleaned and adjusted). The engine was overhauledin 1984 while the car underwent paint service. Obviously well cared for, this car has just emerged from a 21 year residency in a large Lancia collection by a private individual, and now awaits her next curator.

See attached vintage photo of this car with the Nevada plate! We have an extensive history file - in chronological order - going all the way back to 1973, which includes correspondence between owners and parts suppliers.
