A symbol of Italian elegance and luxury, the Flaminia was a major commercial success for Lancia. Rare coupés offered higher performance, and Zagato's Sport, built on a shortened chassis with a light body and the most powerful engines, became the fastest Flaminia, upgraded in 1963 to a 2.8-liter engine with three carburetors.
Among the roughly 192 examples produced, this Flaminia Sport Zagato was completed on 26 February 1960 in white with a black leather interior, as confirmed by its Lancia Heritage Certificate. In the 1970s, it passed to an owner in the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, as recorded on the accompanying Swiss registration document.
The current Dutch owner, an enthusiast of the model and of Italy and the founder in 2005 of the Via Flaminia Rallies, acquired this Sport Zagato in 1999 from an Italian living in England. The car was a restoration project, accompanied by the Swiss registration cancelled in May 1982. He later commissioned one of the foremost Dutch restorers of Lancia Flaminias to perform a complete, originality-focused restoration, which was completed two years ago. Although he retained the car's black leather seats, he chose to return it to the red livery it wore in Switzerland, selecting period correct Rosso Arcoveggio, named after the Bologna racecourse, and had it fitted with the upgraded and highly desirable 2.8-liter 3C engine, the most powerful in its range, while a correct-type 2.5-liter engine—very likely its original unit—still accompanies the car.
