The Model: Lancia's Flavia program started in 1963 with several
different body styles all finely crafted by various Italian
coachbuilders. The production Coupe was supplied by Pininfarina and
more than one casual observer has noted the marked similarity to
these sporty coupes to the Ferrari 250GTE. Lancia's engineering was
a bit unconventional for the time, employing a horizontally opposed
four-cylinder arrangement, and as the model continued to progress
in the market the displacement continued to rise. When first
released these engines were fed the fuel through a twin-throat
Solex carburetor, of which many owners switched over to a Weber
carb for more reliability. Then in 1965, when the displacement was
enlarged to 1800cc, the Kugelfischer fuel injection unit was made
available which put these little Lancia's front-and-center for a
number road rally events. Today an original Kugelfischer injection
system is a highly prized item for those who collect and cherish
superb performance options.
The Car: This Flavia coupe was given a recent exterior respray in
its original Platinum finish. Recently brought to the USA, the
original interior is still fitted with those luxurious tufted
leather seats in red. A quick inspection of the body does not
reveal any outward signs of rust or corrosion. Under the hood, you
find a well-maintained vehicle which has recently been tuned up and
just the right about of patina one might expect for a 50-year-old
car. Looking at the odometer it shows under 76,000 KM (about 47,200
miles) and is believed to be from new based on the condition of the
car. A full assortment of gauges are found in the dashboard, but we
do note that the real wood veneer facing is in need of refinishing.
While showing their age the leather seats appear to be serviceable
and could be well preserved. Considered by many enthusiasts as
being one of the best performing cars that Lancia ever produced,
this is a rare and unique opportunity to put something a little
different but quite attractive in your collection today.
