Exceedingly rare as one of only 180 examples bodied with Superleggera (Superlight) coachwork by Carrozzeria Touring, this Lancia Flaminia 2800 3C Convertible is also equipped with the most powerful “3C” V-6 engine displacing 2.8-liters with three Weber downdraft carburetors. It benefits from photo-documented restoration work which commenced in 2019. Restoration highlights included a repaint in red, including the removable hard top, reupholstering in Biscuit leather, and installation of the refurbished black soft top. Its carburetors were rebuilt and tuned, and a new exhaust system was installed along with an MSD capacitive discharge ignition system. The undercarriage and suspension were also attended to and refinished, the radiator was restored, a new water pump was installed, and the brake servo was rebuilt. In fine Lancia tradition, stopping is provided by four-wheel disc brakes, inboard at the rear. Refinished, 16" factory steel wheels were mounted with Michelin radial tires. Its lovely Jaeger instruments include an integrated clock, 140 mph speedometer, and 6,500 rpm tachometer. Other features include a Becker Mexico AM/FM radio and wood-rimmed, three-spoke steering wheel.

The Lancia’s documentation dates to the 1990s and a March 1979 Lanciana publication shows the Flaminia’s engine had been rebuilt at 58,000 miles, with the car showing approximately 85,000 miles at the time of cataloguing. A charming convertible and rare piece of Lancia history, this Flaminia is sure to excite even the most seasoned Italian car enthusiast.
