Description
The Lancia Flavia introduced in 1960 was the first Italian series produced car with front wheel drive and disc brakes on all four wheels. Initially only available as a saloon, from spring 1962 it was also available as a Coupé and from June as a Sport with a Zagato aluminium coachwork. As one of only 101 examples built, this Flavia Sport with its slightly excentric and certainly unique coachwork has been delivered in Switzerland and 1st registered on the 29th of September 1964. The history of the exclusive coupé is not known until, in 2002, it was taken over by the vendor. After some years of happy motoring, he had the coachwork and interior partially restored in 2016/17. At the same time the 1.5-litre boxer engine was checked and the rest of the technical bits have been overhauled as necessary. Since then, the Flavia has only been used sparingly and was parked most of the time in the owner's garage but regularly maintained. Currently this exceedingly rare Lancia is generally in good condition. However, the bodywork is showing signs of corrosion again, which should definitely be looked at before a new MOT. The Flavia Zagato will be sold to a new enthusiast of the famous Turin brand with the last Veteran MOT completed in September 2017.
