***Vendor supplied images***

Highlights

  • Highly desirable executive car with period interior
  • Rare right-hand drive example
  • 1.8L Lancia H4 powerplant with a 5-speed manual gearbox

The Appeal

First introduced in 1961, the Lancia Flavia is a great representation of 60s and 70s luxury. With its leather and woodwork interior coupling alongside fabulous, chrome-smattered bodywork, The Pininfarina-penned coupe is just about the best of them, combining sportiness and sophistication in style. 
This example comes to us having had some mechanical work, and maintains a fabulous level of authentic period interior. This is a real glimpse of period luxury - with a rare right-hand drive.  

The History and Paperwork

  • No service history is present with the car, having been lost by the previous owner
  • The car has reportedly had mechanical work carried out with authentic Italian parts
