The Lancia Flaminia was produced from spring 1957 until the beginning of 1970. Just like its predecessor, the Aurelia, Flaminia also stood for a Roman road the Via Flaminia. Presented in Geneva in March 1957, the shape of the saloon (called Berlina) was modern and understated, Yet the design had a major influence on future saloons like no other. Just as with the Aurelia, the engine was a V6, then offered only by Lancia. In the beginning, the power of the 2.5 litre stood at 102 horsepower, which, in 1961, was increased to 110 horsepower and with the 2.8 litre, arriving towards the end of 1962, 128 horsepower were available in its basic version. The 3C version with three Webber twin carburettors, provided from autumn 1963, an impressive 150 horsepower helping the Flaminia to reach a respectable performance. Traditionally, Lancia also commissioned special coachwork based on the same platform. As with the Appia, different concepts were chosen, realised by Pininfarina, Touring and Zagato. Pininfarina built an elegant 4-seater coupé for longer journeys and Touring designed a sporty 2-seater as well as a 2+2 and finally Zagato came up with a super sports car fit for the affluent gentleman with racing ambitions. The Flaminia offered, one of only 300 2+2 Touring bodied examples called GTL built, was completed towards the end of 1963 and most probably imported from Italy at an early stage. It was first registered in Switzerland on the 15th of February 1964. From the beginning of the 70's, the noble coupé remained with the same family for 45 years and in the early 80s its coach work was repainted. In 2013 the cylinder heads on the carburettors were overhauled and several other technical tasks completed. Afterwards the Flaminia was driven very sparingly and finally de-registered in September 2019. In 2024/25 the rather patinated interior was restored and new carpets and rubber mats were fitted. At the same time the middle exhaust silencer was replaced together with the track rod and a service was completed. Now the rare coupé is in good to very good overall condition and has most probably only covered around 113’000 kilometres. The car will be handed over to a new owner with the latest Veteran MOT completed in March 2025.
