On November 3. 1960. the Lancia Flavia was introduced at the
Autosalone Internazionale di Torino. With its simple. functional
lines. front-wheel drive and flat-four engine it was a truly
innovative car in the best Lancia tradition. It had to fill the gap
between Appia and Flaminia that by 1960 had grown so large that an
in-between model was badly needed. The first series Berlina was
certainly not to be the only model in the Flavia range; there also
followed a coupé designed by the legendery Pininfarina and four
months later. at the 1962 Autosalon Internationale de Geneve. two
more models were presented; a Convertible meant for open-air
touring and a lightweight Sport. Early 1967 saw the appearance of
the second series. usually called the 'Milleotto' as most of the
cars sold were equipped with an 1800cc engine. and sales were
promising during the first years.

This fascinating example started life in an Italian Consulate
undertaking general ministerial duties. It was then bought to
England in 1968 by a well known racing driver at the time. Paul
Howarth. who comprehensively restored it in the late 1970's. More
recently. in 1995. the Rev. James Harper acquired it from him in
order to undertake the Circuit of Ireland Rally at Killarney.
Interestingly it has also been converted to run on LPG with a
decent sized tank installed in the boot. Offered with no
reserve and requiring just a little love and attention. this
example starts and runs very well; indeed. it comes complete with a
full one year's MoT test certificate. The interior is tidy and the
seats are in very good order. It is reported that they fold back to
meet the rear seat bench thus forming a rather comfortable double
bed.
