Lancia Flavia Coupe 1800 Injection 1966 - This one owner from new 1966 1800cc Lancia Flavia Coupe has a genuine 60,000 kms on the clock ,warranted by its owner a Swiss solicitor. Having spent its life being used to take part in time trial rallies etc when he was staying at his chateau in Switzerland, as such it has led a cosseted life. Not a restored car though, so things like the original leather interior is showing its age, no massive damage just the odd nick and needing recolonising. The dash and instrumentation are in good order. Carpets and roof lining are also all good. Its beautiful "Pininfarina" coupe body is very good and virtually rust free, with the sort of lines that make these cars so recognisable. All the chrome bumpers and exterior trim are very good too. Mechanically it is very strong and helped in no small way by being the much nicer to drive 1800cc with fuel injection derivative, giving it so much more tractability than the smaller 1500cc units. These 60s Lancias were designed by the leading design houses of their time, hand built and totally over engineered. Ironically the very things that bought about Lancias eventual capitulation to Fiat are the very things that make them so sought after today. Prices for these cars are up and take it from us, with serious speculators and collectors now looking at them as investments and worthwhile additions to their collections, if you want one now is the time to buy while you still can. Supplied with its original papers to allow you to register it on age related plates here in the Uk. PLEASE NOTE: The car is pictured pretty much as it arrived and will cleaned prior to the sale by the vendor.
