Flaminia

From before Italy meant only Ferrari.

The Flaminia was Lancia at its most confident — a V6 grand tourer bodied by Pininfarina, Touring or Zagato depending on your taste and your budget, and engineered with the sort of over-specification that eventually made Lancia unprofitable and, for us, wonderful.

It carried Italian presidents. It also carried people who simply appreciated that the doors closed properly.

Rarer than almost anything else in the room and considerably less shouted about. Come and find out what a proper Italian car of the period actually feels like.
