Lancia – Flaminia 3C Speciale

Vehicle Overview

This very elegant coupé was unveiled by Pininfarina at the Turin Motor Show in 1963. It is a one-off, built on the short chassis of the Flaminia, with the powerful 2.8 engine with triple carburettor. Designed by Tom Tjaarda, some solutions created for this car will later see development in the Fiat 124 Spider. The car was subsequently repainted and modified in some details. Over the years it became Battista Pininfarina’s personal car, with the addition of rear lights taken from the Lancia Flavia, since the original headlights were not working. After several changes of ownership between the United States, Japan, Canada, it returns to Italy and the queue is returned to its original configuration. Now part of the Lopresto collection.
