Title: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: willoroe on 19 February, 2022, 01:45:11 PM I recently got a copy of this book and I'm very impressed.
It is nicely produced, very well illustrated and written by Wim Oude Weernink, who wrote La Lancia among others. I'm posting some photos so members can get an impression of what it looks like. I got my copy from Frenky Autodokumentatie (https://www.autodokumentatie.nl/) in The Netherlands.

Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: FERGTS246 on 23 February, 2022, 07:49:09 PM Richard, thanks for the heads-up, I looked for a Flaminia book a few years ago, without success.
Its out of stock at your seller, but I found one on Ebay - but at a premium to the €45!

I do have the other well known 'Fulvia Flavia Flaminia' book. Also 'The Aurelia in Detail' book which I like. I wonder how this compares with the 'Collection' book.

Shipping is expensive!!! Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: FERGTS246 on 24 February, 2022, 01:29:51 PM The one I got on Ebay.co.uk was £55.89 - so in real terms not too much more than the Dutch source at €45, esp. when you consider the Dutch price doesn't include delivery and customs duty.
Chris Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: Richard Fridd on 24 February, 2022, 05:24:56 PM https://www.historicar.be/en/product/lancia-flaminia/ Shipping is expensive!!! 45 euros is £37.60 today. So at £55.89, via ebay, I can see what you mean regarding the shipping cost, which represents almost 50% of the book cost. Anyhow cost is different to overall value, so a worthwhile purchase I expect. Richard Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: FERGTS246 on 01 March, 2022, 02:15:35 PM Yes, I agree. Well worth the price.
Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: FERGTS246 on 03 March, 2022, 09:42:49 AM I've found a few typos in the book, but there's one I can't work out.
What should 'flowers' be in this caption on page 43? Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: Charles Frodsham on 03 March, 2022, 11:32:22 AM I think I may have worked it out….wrong translation…..
Original Italian could be “fari e faretti”…….headlights and spotlights…. Whereas “fiori” means flowers! Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: FERGTS246 on 03 March, 2022, 01:19:33 PM Ah yes, Thanks for that.
Chris Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: Sebastien on 04 March, 2022, 09:06:42 AM There is a film on the Geneva salon 1957, https://www.rts.ch/archives/tv/divers/3473098-splendide-id.html
Flowers can be seen on some stands, and spotlights were also frequently used (of course) to highlight the exhibits. Sadly no Flaminia Berlina in that film, but still worth watching! Title: Re: Lancia Flaminia Details of the Collection Post by: FERGTS246 on 07 March, 2022, 03:02:47 PM Great film, made a few months before I was born. 1957 was a vintage year ;)
