    Here in Italy the republic's president, has a Lancia Flaminia "Presidenziale", a 7 seater cabrio version, made in only 4 units and it's still used in some important celebrations. What Lancia made as cars and innovations, makes me sad seeing the present and the recent past.

    As a former S1 Fulvia Coupé owner (a '69), I can really appreciate this. I had a similarly huge wood-rimmed steering wheel, and - after careful restoration of the Dunlop disc-brakes (the Flaminia had Dunlops as well), huge stopping-power. All un-assisted of course. And regarding the tacho - mine worked well, but there's always something not working on an Italian dashboard. ;-) My electro-mechanical Jaeger-clock was a pain in the behind to keep running!

    The closest I'll probably get to driving or even seeing a Lancia Flaminia is a VW fastback. The style puts you in the right era and it does have a shifter that goes to a rear gearbox. Not really a substitute, I know, but..

    He wasn’t quite correct on the model history. Yes the car in the video is what might be referred to as a Series 1 Flaminia Sport and there were indeed 99 made. However what he described as the Series 2 is in fact the Flaminia Super Sports which along with the body style changes also featured the 2.8 litre engine. Between the two there was indeed what might be called a Series 2 Flaminia Sport (344 made) which featured the same tail as the earlier cars, but didn’t have covered headlights….all three models are beautiful. Enjoyed the video.
