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.
