Buying a Lancia Flaminia Sport

If youre thinking about buying a Lancia Flaminia Sport, youve come to the right place to learn more about this classic Italian sports car, valuable Buyers Tips and the examples currently available on the classic car market. The most performance-oriented version of the coachbuilt Flaminia models was the Lancia Flaminia Sport by Zagato. The two companies had previously worked together on the competitive Aurelia specials and the smaller Appia GT. Their partnership on the Flaminia Sport, however, would result in what is now considered one of the most iconic Zagato designs. Like the GT, the Lancia Flaminia Sport was unveiled to the public at the 1958 Turin Motor Show in Italy. Under the hood of its curvaceous and stylish body was a 2.5L V6 that offered 199hp. Very similar to what was used in the GT, the lower final drive ratio of the Sport made it quite a bit sportier and faster. The Flaminia Sport also offered the most rapid acceleration of all the Flaminias, and would continue to offer owners admirable road holding and driving abilities. However, it was not an uncompromising racecar rather a comfortable touring car with a fast, exciting driving experience.

The Lancia Flaminia Sport by Zagato showed many of the styling features for which the coachbuilder had become known. There was the double-bubble roof, the streamlined and rounded line of the body, the typical Plexiglas covers over the headlights and the dog leg kink in the rear pillars on the roof. Buyers also loved the glass that surrounded the passenger compartment, which provided a bright interior with great visibility. If youre thinking about buying a Lancia Flaminia Sport, it is important to remember that there are individual variations from car to car, as all panels were hand beaten. The variations can be minor, but also quite elaborate. It was also not uncommon for Flaminia Sport owners to have their car updated once a new version was released. Thus, some cars ended up being a mixture from different model variations. Because of this, it is vitally important to have any potential purchase inspected by a mechanic that is familiar with classic Lancia sports cars to ensure its authenticity. Additionally, rust can be an issue for these early classics, and it is imperative to ensure a thorough inspection is done to understand the overall condition of any potential purchase.
