The Lancia Flaminia was originally conceived as a large luxury sedan with imposing dimensions. Its engine comes from the 2500 cc V6 of the Aurelia
which it replaces. Very well finished, technically proficient, the Flaminia is commonly referred to as a ‘Grande Voiture’. Lancia dedicates a shortened Flaminia platform to coachbuilders, available in two wheelbases: 2.52 m for the two-seater and 2.75 m for the 4/5-seater. Zagato is responsible for producing the ‘Sport’ version. with an aerodynamic body. Touring handles the ‘GT’ Grand Touring version, a splendid coupé also available as a convertible and later as a 2+2.

Master Pininfarina took care of the Coupé from 1959, a luxurious two-door, 4/5-seater car with exemplary finish. The first version
develops 119 hp (3201 units) and was replaced in 1962 by the 3B, a 128 hp version with triple-body carburetor (950 units). The last version adopted the 2800cc engine with 140 hp (1085 units).

The Flaminia chassis is an evolution of the Aurelia’s, but it has been significantly improved. The front suspension was modified to a more conventional setup with double wishbones, coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers, and an anti-roll bar. The rear suspension retained the De Dion setup, with a rear-mounted transaxle as in the Aurelia. The first Berlina was available with drum or disc brakes, while all other models used only discs. They benefited from Pirelli Cinturato 165H400 CA67 radial tire technology.
The two original Flaminia bodies were developed by Pinin Farina and modeled after his two special show cars based on the Aurelia, called Florida. The Florida I, presented at the 1955 Turin Auto Show, was a sedan with rear suicide doors. The Florida II, presented a year later at the Geneva International Motor Show, was a two-door coupé and became Battista Farina’s personal car. The production version of the Lancia Flaminia appeared in 1957.

This Lancia Flaminia was produced in 1960 and registered in Italy the same year. Four owners succeeded each other in Italy until 2018, each keeping this Flaminia for many years. The first owner kept it from 1960 to 1964, the second from 1964 to 1969, the third from 1969 to 1982, and the fourth from 1982 to 2018. The last owner bought it in 2018 and kept it in his private collection for the past 6 years. It has undergone significant restoration in recent years, including:

  • Engine overhaul
  • Replacement of front brake blocks and various hoses
  • New paint
  • Red leather upholstery and trim on the new doors
  • New carpet on the floor

The chassis and body are in good condition. During the restoration of the body and chassis about ten years ago, repairs were made, and chassis protection was installed. The paint is shiny and beautiful, but has defects. Note some gravel impacts and some touch-ups on scratches.
