My PF was the distinguished grey, then was changed to 'Bleu Lancia' many years ago, which is now somewhat patinated. Red interior also patinated. Black not so much a favourite but looks better in photos.

Wish I had seen it then but I wasn't looking for a project at the time. Having looked at cars at the higher end of the price range I decided I could only get what I wanted by doing it myself.

Here are pictures of 1970 Lancia colour flitches which possibly cover the end of Flaminia production. I don't have the actual item so what you can see in the pictures is all the information I have. I had a Berlina which had a dark grey metalic as its original colour which I thought must have looked very distinguished.
Thanks for these. The colours I keep seeing referred to are grigio doncaster, cascine and brighton, but not really sure how these compare. I may consider a metallic. |

According to Win Oude Weernink's book Lancia Flaminia - Details of the collection, the original Grey colours for the Coupe were Grigio Marones, Brighton and Albani.
The Berlina was available in Grigio Newmarket, Cascine and Epsom.
The Max Myer codes are in the book.

Thanks, I have that book, I should have looked.
Think at some stage I will get some samples of Grigio Brighton and Albani (i have seen it spelt Albany as well) and apply them to a panel.
Hurt my back at the weekend so taking it easy for a bit now. I did get a rollover jig so looking forward to trying that out once I have made the necessary brackets to attach it to the shell.
In the workshop manual there is a strut used to keep the leaf springs spread open when removing. I have never had a car with leaf springs before - does the strut need to be adjustable in order to get the spring eyes to line up? Could it just have a slight wedge shape to it? Does anybody have any dimensions for it?

Thank you for that Richard.
Well, the inlet manifold finally gave in after quite a battle. I will now re purpose the same plate I made for it to use on the cylinder heads.

very interested in how you will get the heads off as I have a very stuck one and due to moving house have not got round to finishing my removal plate.

I have Flaminia heads to remove imminently. Does anyone have the tools to do this? These are on my smokey spare engine which is in transit to a nearby workshop.
I will start a new forum thread once this job begins.

I have removed the rocker carriers and used an impact wrench to undo the head nuts. A couple of studs, with particularly rusted nuts, unscrewed from the block, revealing quite a bit of corrosion along their length. I think they only came out because of the impact wrench. It made me wonder if all the studs could be removed in this way by welding nuts to them - I can't get any of my stud extractors to fit. The heads would then hopefully come off quite easily. Anybody done anything like this?
