Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Original unrestored 1964 Lancia Flavia Pininfarina Coupe just woken up after 16-year slumber. Early 1500cc motor with (2) 2-bbl solex carbs. Always garaged, overall solid condition. I purchased the car in 1990 with 33,475 miles on the odometer – and it had not been driven for several years before I bought it. I drove it about 6,000 miles before it went into the garage (coincidentally when now 16-year-old kid was born). I have some records, but not enough to know actual mileage. Damage to cylinder wall of one cylinder and no compression in that cylinder. Car starts easily and can be driven (once warmed up) but motor requires cylinder repair. I just drove home 10 miles from mechanic, but I wouldn’t recommend driving much farther.Rebuilt brake booster just installed and brake line replaced, brakes work but pedal is stiff. Old booster in trunk (with lots of other stuff). Some rust behind front wheels (jack points) but underside, floors and sub-frame are solid. Leather interior, front seats worn with loose stitching. Rear seat, door panels and headliner are excellent. Dash cover and kneepad rebuilt in 1994 (foam had turned to dust). Original Nardi steering wheel in excellent condition with operable hi-beam flash in center. Electrical mostly works, horn and low beams not currently operating, but I think everything else is ok, including engine compartment light when hood is open and engine is running. Blaupunkt radio kind of works on really strong stations. Passenger door was repainted at some point a long time ago – paint is good color match but has not aged as well as other paint. Some cracking in paint finish, plus some chips and nicks here and there. Small dent in passenger door and trunklid (see photos).Two sets of original keys, original jack and tool kit, all original books including factory parts manual, and lots of spares including taillights, trim parts, exhaust, etc.I've always loved the design of this car but it's time to move on. Modest reserve with no buy it now. Shipping or delivery responsibility of buyer. Please ask any questions, and happy bidding! On Nov-30-13 at 08:32:36 PST, seller added the following information: 11/30/13 - Additional Information Mechanic looked at weak cylinder with scope and said it looks like water found its way in and sat there long enough to create corrosion on wall of cylinder liner, enough to affect compression. I'm not aware of valve, block, head or gasket damage. No evidence of water/oil contamination. The car starts easily, idles ok, but has to warm up before it will rev above 3,000 RPM, and can only be driven once warm, keeping revs up. All that said, the engine is 50 years old and needs work. Lancia archives show that this serial number was built in 1962. Numbers started at 8151301001, which would make this the 717th car. But it is titled and registered as a 1964. All numbers match.I have a few early receipts, showing this car in Michigan in 1964. I bought it from Previous Owner in Mendham NJ.
