The Lancia Flavia Berline was introduced in the early 1960s with a 1500cc and later an 1800cc engine. This made it a smooth sedan with Lancia's characteristic front-wheel drive. At the end of the 1960s, a second series came on the market that was produced only briefly with a 2-litre engine. With this, the sedan reached an impressive top speed of around 180 km/h for the time. The Lancia Flavia rivaled the Alfa Giulia and the big Fiats and, of course, the German BMWs. The Flavia distinguished itself with its front-wheel drive. This created a lot of extra interior space for Lancia, and thanks to the extra pressure on the front wheels, the car was manageable even in bad orphan conditions. In any case, the Flavia was special because at the time it already had disc brakes on all four wheels! At 4.60m, it was quite a hefty car, but still only weighed 1200kg. The 115hp delivering 2 litre therefore ensures good performance!
The Flavia offered here in Grigio Metallizzato, is in clean and rust-free condition. The skai upholstery is undamaged and the headliner is also still tight. The blinds at the rear window are remarkable. There is quite some history documentation of the car.
Our opinion
A car you rarely see and again something different from yet another Giulia or BMW 2002. Lancia was always known for their refined versions and this is one of them. A stately sedan that still holds its own in today's traffic and still looks good. Thanks to its power steering, it is also an easy car to drive.
About the seller
The seller owns several enthusiast cars. He decided, despite his respectable age, to hop on a plane and pick up this beautiful classic car in Rome. Actually intended as daily transport, but eventually used as 1 of the hobby cars. Wanting to get back to 1 hobby car, he decided to sell this Lancia through The Collectables.
