The Attractions
The Flaminia was Lancia's flagship model, the ultimate expression of the company's typical innovation and sophistication and a highly prestigious car destined for the most affluent clientele.
Only a few examples of the convertible model were made by Touring, adding the allure of open-air driving to Lancia's advanced technical features. Only 687 cars with 2.5-litre engines like this one were produced.
It is finished in metallic grey, one of the most desirable colours for this model, combined with a red leather interior. Restored in the 1980s and 1990s to a high standard and maintained with great care thereafter, it is in excellent condition. According to the seller, a respected classic car expert, it does not need any work. Its history and characteristics are verified by FIVA and ASI certificates.
This is a truly remarkable example of one of the most beautiful cars ever produced in Italy, made even more desirable by the particularly desirable colour scheme.

A car with attention to every detail, including the Touring vinyl boot mat
When admiring this fascinating cabriolet, one cannot help but consider it one of the most prestigious and important cars ever produced by the Italian automotive industry. Indeed, this car combines Lancia's refined technology with Touring's legendary 'Superleggera' construction technique, which on this example are further enhanced by the coveted Grigio Metallizzato colour scheme.
It is presented in excellent condition both inside and out. We have been informed that this car was restored in the 1980s and 1990s, and the restoration work was visibly carried out with great care and skill, as this Flaminia has stood the test of time very well. It is made even more attractive by the attention paid to every detail, from the interior true to original specification to the Touring vinyl floor mat in the boot.
The seller has informed us that the car is in excellent condition
We were also informed that the car does not need any mechanical intervention
Under the long bonnet of this convertible is Lancia's sophisticated 2.5-litre V6, mated to a manual gearbox. Touring only made 687 cabriolets equipped with this engine.
The Tipo 824 convertibles were fitted with three carburettors, allowing the remarkable output of 135 hp, only slightly less than the 160 hp delivered by the 2.8-litre engine.
The mechanics of this car were completely restored in the 1980s and 1990s and afterwards it was rarely driven and always received regular maintenance. The seller, a specialist in high-end classic cars, has informed us that it works properly and requires no intervention.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
