Description
Impressive. This superb Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato is undoubtedly a remarkable car. The Flavia was originally produced as a four-door saloon, then as a two-door coupe (designed by Pininfarina) and as a cabriolet (designed by Vignale). However, this lightweight Sport version is particularly unique, notably thanks to a bodywork specially designed by Zagato. The aluminium-bodied coachwork features several unique styling elements, such as side windows that extend over the roof and a panoramic windscreen. This car is in exceptional condition and sports a magnificent Lancia Rosso colour. Delivered new in Italy in 1963, this Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato has been in the Netherlands since 2007. Over all these years, this car, whose chassis numbers are matching, has been meticulously cared for and is in impeccable condition. The stunning Lancia Rosso colour has a deep, brilliant gloss, and the body panels are perfectly aligned. The various chrome trim and fittings are also in good condition, as are the rubber components and finishes. As with many Flavia Sport Zagato examples, this car looks even better without its bumpers, but they are of course included. It has been fully restored, and the restoration also allowed several technical improvements and updates. The result is a unique Italian sport coupe, in sublime condition. The interior is immaculate. The sports seats and rear bench are trimmed in new imitation leather and offer exceptional comfort. The interior upholstery (carpets and door panels) is entirely new, and the black headlining, perfectly matched, is also in excellent condition. The dashboard is not only stunning, but all instruments work perfectly. The elegant wooden steering wheel, paired with the wooden gear knob, makes for a striking ensemble. The excellent condition of this Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato is undoubtedly impressive. Under the bonnet, the engine compartment is exceptionally well maintained. Several technical improvements were made during the restoration, and it shows clearly. The 1800 cc engine, fully rebuilt, is a true work of art and is fitted with a new CCT electronic ignition. The original Weber carburettors have also been fully rebuilt. The car has a new radiator (offering 22% greater cooling capacity) and a revised oil pump (with a 15% increased capacity). Moreover, almost all of the hoses and lines have been replaced, and a Revotec cooler has been installed. The stainless steel discs and pads are new, and the braking system has been fully overhauled. The suspension wishbones have also been upgraded with new polyurethane bushings and special oil-free inner bushings. The result: a Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato in perfect running condition, unique and exceptional. The car brakes and shifts gears exceptionally well, and the steering is remarkably precise and supple. It is rare to come across such beautiful Italian sport coupés in such a condition. If you are seeking a unique Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato, you have found a rare gem!
