The one you might think is a Flavia pf is actually the Lancia Flaminia Speciale Pininfarina, built on one of the last chassis. The Flavia Zagato is called the Super Sport.
Pics below. Interestingly I see that the Flaminia Maricia by Ghia is also in the collection. Title: Re: Classic Driver Daily - The Flavia PF caught my eye but... Post by: lancialulu on 27 January, 2015, 03:55:25 PM Nice. You can see them on the film reel thingy at the beginning of the article.
Title: Re: Classic Driver Daily - The Flavia PF caught my eye but... Post by: stanley sweet on 29 January, 2015, 10:46:32 AM Cars were so beautiful and delicately styled back then. Not like the great fat lumps of today. They keep you alive in an accident but not many modern designs impress me. Have to say that modern Disco Volante on Top Gear was something. So was the price tag though.

Post by: RobD on 29 January, 2015, 05:24:48 PM I enjoyed the Top Gear feature but I'm not sure the Disco Volante is an improvement [aesthetically] over the standard car [8C]. I thought the DV looked uncomfortable from some angles, especially side on. Let's face it, the standard car isn't exactly ugly! And the sound...Oh Lordy...
Be nice to be in a position where you have to make that difficult decision about which one to take home. ;D |
