1959 Lanica Flaminia Pininfarina Coupe (like Fluvia Flavia Alfa Romeo Fiat)

1959 Lancia Flaminia Pininfarina CoupeVincenzo Lancia was a talented racer turned brilliant engineer who formed the company that bore his name in 1906. Vincenzo pushed the boundaries of automobile design throughout his life and set Lancia on a path of innovation that it maintained until the 1970’s when it was taken over by Fiat. Lancia production cars were responsible for many automotive firsts. such as the monocoque body. independent front suspension. 5-speed transmission. complete electrical system. and perhaps their best known achievement – the V6 engine. Lancia cars have always been exceptionally well built and well-engineered. When many Italian were known for their somewhat relaxed standards of build quality. Lancia went and beyond to ensure their cars were the very best they could be. Often likened to an Italian equivalent of Citroen or SAAB. Lancia cars were always just a bit different. but were brilliant to drive and experience firsthand. By nature of their designs. Lancia was never a large volume producer. so almost all of their models through the 1970’s are highly prized by enthusiasts. The Flaminia replaced the legendary Aurelia as Lancia’s flagship model and was produced from 1957-1970. It was offered in a variety of body styles built by several different Italian coachbuilders. Only the four-door sedan was produced in-house. with all other cars were specially coachbuilt. The Flaminia featured either a 2. 5 or 2. 8 liter version of their gorgeous V6 engine. a rear-mounted transaxle and deDion rear suspension. The Flaminia is a wonderful mid-range GT car. I recently acquired this Flaminia out of long term ownership in Indiana. As you can see. the Lancia still bears Indiana plates from 1959. The previous owner states the car ran as recently as 2 years ago. I have not attempted to start the Lancia but did confirm (by placing in 3rd gear and rocking) the engine spins freely and is not seized. As you can see from the detailed pictures. this Lancia is mostly complete and a very original car deserving of a restoration. Overall. I consider this an excellent Lancia to restore to a driver level or restore to factory standards! Either way. this Lancia is a solid investment as Lancia's continue to appreciate in value!**I reserve the right to end the auction early****If you are serious about buying. please bid early and let me know you're a serious buyer**WE HAVE OTHER CLASSIC MERCEDES AND PORSCHE AVAILABLE!I can assist with shipping worldwide (major European Ports $1. 50-$1. 00).
