Highlights
- Retrimmed using the factory correct material
- Recent mechanical overhaul including timing belt adjustment, overhauled steering box and a full service
- Very usable example that is ready to be enjoyed
The Appeal
Designed to replace the Flavia as Lancia’s flagship executive car, the Gamma proved itself to be every bit as unconventional and also every bit as elegant. Offered in four-door saloon and two-door coupé body styles both penned at Pininfarina, the Gamma is an achingly beautiful car, proving that you don’t need boisterous styling and lairy colour schemes to make jaws drop.
This 1979 example is presented in good, usable condition, benefitting from a recent service and a mechanical overhaul. If you’re looking for a stylish addition to your garage, then this Gamma fits the bill perfectly.
