Description
1963 Lancia Flaminia GT 2. 5 3c Touring.
On offer here is an exclusive and very stylish, Touring designed Lancia Flaminia GT. Carrozzeria Touring were, in my opinion designers of some of the most elegant GT's from the most elegant period of grand touring motor cars. Other notables being the Aston Martin DB4, 5 & 6 and Maserati 3500GT.
The Lancia Flaminia was based on the Flaminia platform with it's V6 2. 5, triple Weber engine and 4 speed transaxle gearbox, disc brakes all round, double wishbone MacPherson strut front suspension and de Dion rear. All over engineered in the Lancia tradition.
The beautiful Touring bodywork is all aluminium and draped over a tubular framework in Tourings Superleggera construction method, as used on the Aston Martins and Maseratis of the same period.
The interior was unique to the Touring but utilising Lancia Flaminia controls, dials and steering wheel.
This example was imported from France around 10 years ago and has been in the same ownership since then. It comes with a very extensive file with far to many restoration bills and receipts to mention, covering most areas of the car but most notably a recent, full engine rebuild.
Not only does the car look gorgeous, it also drives very nicely indeed. The ride is tight and rattle free, the engine pulls strongly and shows excellent oil pressure and water temp readings. The clutch is light and the brakes sharp. Inside the condition is near perfect, lovely high quality carpets have been fitted, the seats trimmed in a lovely red leather and all the brightwork is in excellent order.
These cars are still excellent value compared with many of their contemporary's, a V6 2. 5 with triple Webers, coupled to a four speed transaxle and dics brakes all round and all wrapped up in a beautiful body!
