1962 LANCIA FLAMINIA COUPE 2.5
COACHWORK BY PININFARINA
Chassis No. 823 003 584
White with tobacco leather interior.
Engine: all-alloy, overhead valve V6, 2,458cc, 128bhp at 5100rpm; Gearbox: four speed manual transaxle; Suspension: wishbones, coil springs and anti-roll bar at front, de Dion axle, semi-elliptic leaf springs at rear; Brakes: discs all round. Left hand drive.
The first Lancia designed entirely by the Turin company's new technical supremo, Professor Antonio Fessia, the Flaminia was the flagship of the Lancia range when launched in 1957. The initial four door Berlina, with mould-breaking Pininfarina styling, evolved from the Florida show cars, combining the best of American trends with the ultimate in high class European engineering and good taste. Though a few early cars had drums, Lancia soon adopted the latest Dunlop disc brakes, mounted inboard at the rear, adding to the Flaminia's reputation as a highly agile saloon.
This Pininfarina two-door coupe Flaminia (actually built as well as styled by Pininfarina) was constructed in steel on a slightly shorter wheelbase than the saloon, though it remained a roomy and refined touring car. The general lines of the Coupe, announced at Turin in 1957, were developed from the Florida II show car of that same year, a styling landmark that was the favoured personal transport of Battista Pininfarina, founder of the company. The Flaminia Coupe benefitted from a more powerful 128bhp version of the V6 engine , having a higher compression ratio and revised valve timing. Despite a formidable weight of 3602lbs ready for the road, the British journal, "Autocar", recorded a top speed of 107mph in their 22 July 1960 test. Although the Berlina had the fashionable column gearshift, a floor change was adopted for the coupe which, like the Aurelia B20 coupe before it, had superb steering and exceptional roadholding on its Michelin radial tyres. Coupes came with cloth or leather trim - this car has the latter, in a stylish tobacco colour - with a handsome padded-top dash dominated by two bold instruments indicating engine revolutions and speed, minor gauges being contained within the rev-counter.
Regarded by many as the best all-rounder of the Flaminia family (which included other models by Zagato and Touring as well as the big flagship saloon) the Pininfarina coupe was the best-selling of the range too; a total of 5,282 Coupes were built before production ended in 1967.
This 72,000km Flamina Coupe is very original with a very sound body and an almost as-new interior. Neither the tools or fire extinguisher have been used. There is a quantity of spares available for this vehicle through separate negotiation with the vendor. A lively car, this Flaminia drives well with a precise feel to all the controls. It is sold with Swiss documents.
