During the 50s and 60s, about 50% of Italian automobile production was destined for export, and this Flaminia Coupè testifies it since it is located in Puerto Rico. This car was probably painted in Blu Lancia, the flagship color of the factory since the Lancia was the only one to produce this color as it… Read More Blue away: 1961 Lancia Flaminia Coupé by Pininfarina
If you think that the barn finds are found only in the US, you are wrong, and this auction is proof of this. There is in fact a collection of 81 cars (none in good condition, some in desperate conditions) that will be auctioned (also online) tomorrow by a french auction house that we did not… Read More The sunday auction: 81 barn finds
The latest series of the Lancia Aurelia sedan is represented by the B12 as published here: the car benefited from several improvements such as the De Dion suspension at the rear. A very refined solution which, moreover, was consistent with the Lancia constructive philosophy; unfortunately this philosophy was one of the main reasons that less… Read More De Dion back: 1955 Lancia Aurelia B12
This Flaminia Convertibile (chassis # 826.134.1098) has a 2.8 liter matching numbers engine with three carburetors: this means that it is one of the 180 built with this configuration and, consequently, the most sought after Lancia Cabriolet after the Aurelia. In addition to being a rare piece, the car is also in good condition: it… Read More Big six: 1964 Lancia Flaminia 2.8 Convertibile by Touring
Of course, there is no Gunmetal Green color: the original color of this Flaminia Touring was Gunmetal Gray, covered at some point by an emerald-green paint that, all in all, is not bad. This model is one of the first Flaminia Touring GT and this is evident not only from the year of production but… Read More Gunmetal green: 1961 Lancia Flaminia GT Coupé by Touring
As we know, and as we have reiterated several times, South America often holds surprises, particularly about classic Italian cars. The surprise of this time is a Lancia Aurelia of 1952, so a B21 probably, but certainly not: it could also be a B10, with a 1.8-liter V6 engine, but we do not have such… Read More Southern dust: 1952 Lancia Aurelia B21
This Appia Berlina has the same color of an american whisky but it’s dry like a scottish one: whatever it is lime, don’t even think to restore it. First of all because doing a proper restoration will cost you twenty times the asking price, so that means that at he end of the journey you… Read More Dry whisky: 1958 Lancia Appia Berlina
This pale blue Fulvia Zagato has been featured on the cover of the italian classic cars bi-monthly magazine “Automobilismo d’Epoca”, and that’s a good start. We didn’t read the article about it (just because we don’t have that magazine issue) so the only things that we know are those told by the seller that are… Read More Magazine cover car: 1969 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1.3S by Zagato
This is a first series Lancia Fulvia Coupé and that’s quite rare in the U.S. It was also known as “Leva lunga” (italian for “Long shift lever). So far so good, but then rust comes into play. The odd (but good) thing is that the seller has several spare parts, including some original metal sheets… Read More Once was white: 1967 Lancia Fulvia Coupé
Many moons have passed since this car was in driveable conditions, much more since it looked almost new. What remains of this car is something which needs a full restoration. First of all we don’t understand exactly in what color it was originally painted: we guess some shade of gold but there are also some… Read More Red and gold: 1959 Lancia Appia Convertibile by Vignale
