Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato 3C Présentée en 1959 alors que la marque Lancia vivait ses dernières heures d’indépendance, la Flaminia Sport se voulait être la descendante de la glorieuse Aurelia B20. Equipée du même voluptueux moteur V6 de 2.5 litres en version mono carburateur (119ch) ou de 3 Webers double-corps (140 ch), cette magnifique automobile se présentait comme une GT raffinée et chère (prix équivalent à celui d’une Ferrari 250 GTE) et par tant, réservée à une élite. Elle reprenait également les solutions mécaniques de l’ Aurelia, en particulier avec une BV et un embrayage en position transaxle. Exécutée en 3 versions différentes par 3 maîtres-carrossier, Touring, Pinifarina et Zagato, c’est très certainement la version de Zagato qui retient aujourd ’hui l’ attention des collectionneurs avertis. Munie de son fameux "Double Bubble Top", elle est exécutée entièrement en aluminium formé à la main. C’est sans conteste, la plus légère et la plus sportive des Flaminia. 174 exemplaires fabriqués. L ’exemplaire présenté ici est dans un sublime état de conservation. Imatriculée le 28/05/62, cette Lancia Flaminia Sport 3C Zagato Série 2 qui se distingue de la Série 1 par ses poignées de porte et ses phares ronds, n ’a connu que 3 propriétaires depuis sa livraison et n ’a parcouru que 148000 km. Son magnifique intérieur de cuir rouge est d’origine. Ses roues sont de rarissimes versions de course en magnesium proposées par Mallone. Son dossier est complet et inclut un Certificat d’origine Zagato. Moteur refait depuis 6500 km. Papiers FIA. Carte grise française et certificat d’ immatriculation suisse. Une magnifique opportunité d’investissement pour une voiture de genteman extrêmement désirée et éligible partout, dont la classe et la valeur ne feront que s’apprécier avec le temps. Designed as the replacement for the famous Aurelia, the Flaminia Sport arrived in 1959 as one of three coachbuilt derivatives of the four-door Flaminia Berlina, the other two being a Pininfarina coupe and Touring coupe/convertible. While the Pininfarina and Touring cars are both attractive designs, it is the Zagato-bodied Sport that stands out. Lighter, faster and the most sporting, the Zagato body was hammered by hand from sheets of aluminum. The signature "double bubble" roofline is easily identifiable as the Zagato design trademark. The Sport is a two-passenger coupe, retaining the 2458-cc aluminum V6 engine from the Aurelia, which provided the original Sport with 119 horsepower. Lancia upgraded carburetion from the single twin-choke Solex of the original configuration to three twin-choke Webers (3C) on 2.5 liter with 140hp and 2.8-liter configuration, with 152 hp in its final version. The Flaminia Sport was offered in three model series over the years. The Series I had covered cowled headlights, body-enclosed door handles, and the 2.5-liter single-carb setup. The Series II cars had exposed headlights, more conventional door handles, and the 2.5-liter engine with single or triple carbs. A few had the 2.8 3C setup. The Series III cars had a cut-off Kamm tail and reverted to the cowled teardrop headlight design. The wonderful exemple presented here for sale, has been superbly preserved. Registered new in May 62, this Serie 2 Lancia Flaminia Zagato 3C, only covered 148000 km with 3 successive owners. The car still retains its original very classy red leather interior and is equiped with hyper-rare mag wheels by Mallone. Comprehesive files and documents are available, a Zagato certificate included. FIA papers. Swiss and French registration A great opportunity to acquire a very desirable gentleman car which will open the doors of major events and grow fast in value. |
