The Lancia Flaminia, named after the Via Flaminia, the road leading from Rome to Rimini, was Lancia’s flagship at that time, replacing the Aurelia.
Lancia afforded the luxury, various coupé versions from Pininfarina, Carozzeria Touring and Zagato for the two-door variants. Zagato is one of the oldest coachbuilders. Zagato is responsible for the most impressive and beautiful cars existing such as the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, the Alfa Romeo 6C Zagato, the Fiat 8V Zagato, the Maserati A6G 2000 and many other cars which have now values of millions of euro’s.
Presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1958, the Zagato coupe is the most sporting variant and the most exclusive of many versions of the Lancia Flaminia.
The bodywork of Zagato featured a very sleek design, surmounted by the famous double-bubble on its roof.
This striking Zagato-bodied Lancia Flaminia Sport 3C Coupé features the renowned ‘Double Bubble’ Zagato body form in which low overall lines and a rounded streamlined shape are achieved by the simple but ingenious device of head-clearance roof bulges above each front seat.
History of this Lancia Flaminia Zagato Sport 3C
This example is one of only 152 Flaminia Sports 3C made between 1959 and 1961. A 2.5-litre version equipped with triple carburetors.
the car was first registered with the number plate 8719 QV 3I in Auzeville. The 2nd Owner Mr. Fauroux bought it in 1977 and kept it till 2014. At the end he used it also for hunting in the forrest.
Scuderia Sportiva Colonia bought the Lancia Zagato in 2014. Together with a very well known Lancia Specialist we spend a complete and very detailed "frame-off" restoration. The quality is absolut outstanding.
The body was stripped back to bare metal and completely restored. All chrome and aluminium parts where fitted before the car was sprayed to get the best possible fitting result. Motor, gear box, axes, brakesystem was complete dismantled and built up from zero. New piping, wiring and electric connection. That’s how a top restoration company works. Impressive restoration pictures are available on request.
The Lancia is today finished in a beautiful metallic silver "Argento Auteil" with contrasting red leather interior and contemporary Zagato seats. A wonderful combination. Additional we have also upholstered the original Lancia luxury seats.
The car is in a superb condition, hard to find a better example on the market. The body is super straight with beautiful door and panel gaps.
The combination of sure, fast, agile performance, a small quantity artisan build, and timeless beauty have made the Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato one of the most sought-after Lancia’s of all time. This is a very rare and highly desirable example that combines the finest in Lancia chassis engineering with the peerless styling that Zagato was penning at the twilight of the 1950s and 1960s.
Due to Lancia’s racing histories and innovative and unconventional technical features, the Lancia Zagato is not only looking as a piece of art but is also driving extremely impressive.
