C'est en 1962 qu'est présentée la version cabriolet de la Lancia Flavia. L'année suivante, le moteur 4 cylindres à plat 1.5L est remplacé par une version 1.8L de 86 cv qui permet plus de 170 km/h en pointe. Le cabriolet 1.8L à carburateur ne sera produit qu'à 385 exemplaires. Celui que nous présentons est l'un d'eux et fut vendu neuf à un médecin de Grenoble qui l'avait immatriculé le 13 août 1965. C'est en avril 1966 que son actuel propriétaire, confrère du premier, en a fait l'acquisition.

Un courrier de son premier possesseur précise le soin qu'il a apporté au rodage de la voiture, confirme que celle-ci n'avait parcouru que 12 500 à 13 000 km en octobre 1965 et qu'elle n'avait jamais été accidentée. Depuis 1966, l'élégant cabriolet a été soigneusement utilisé, toujours garé au sec et bénéficiant d'un entretien régulier au gré de toutes les sorties consignées depuis 1992 dans deux cahiers. La carrosserie a anciennement bénéficié d'une peinture dans sa teinte d'origine et s'avère parfaitement saine et bien alignée. La sellerie est d'origine et dans un état de préservation remarquable, seules les moquettes et la capote ayant été refaites.

Après quelques années d'immobilisation, la mécanique a été soigneusement redémarrée et fonctionne de manière satisfaisante. Les freins sont fonctionnels mais pourront être vérifiés par acquis de conscience. La voiture est accompagnée de sa trousse à outils et du cric d'époque, ainsi que d'une copie du manuel de réparation. Les cabriolets Flavia sont rares, mais l'état de préservation et l'historique exceptionnel de cet exemplaire en font une voiture unique que les connaisseurs apprécieront. ADDENDUM MERCI DE NOTER QUE LA VOITURE EST VENDUE SANS CONTROLE TECHNIQUE.

French title - Sold new in France, same owner since 1966! - Exceptional well-preserved condition - Only 385 examples built - No reserve The convertible version of the Lancia Flavia was launched in 1962. The flat 4-cylinder 1.5L engine was replaced the following year by a 1.8L version of 86hp, which enabled the car to reach a top speed of 170 km/h. Only 385 of the carburetted 1.8L convertible version were produced. This particular example is one of them and was sold new to a doctor from Grenoble who registered it on 13 August 1965. As a colleague of the first owner, the current proprietor acquired it from him in April 1966.

A letter from the first owner outlines how he cautiously did the running in of the car and confirms it had travelled 12,500 to 13,000 km in October 1965 and was never involved in any accident. This elegant convertible has carefully been used since 1966, always parked in the dry and regularly serviced, with all the outings recorded since 1992 in two notebooks. The bodywork was previously painted in its original colour and is perfectly sound and well aligned. The upholstery is original and in a remarkable well-preserved state; only the carpets and the soft top have been redone. After some years of standstill, the engine was carefully restarted and is in good working order.

Brakes are working fine but could do with a health check just for peace of mind. The car comes with its tool kit and period jack, as well as a copy of the repair manual. Convertible Flavia cars are rare but this specific one is unique, thanks to its well-preserved condition and its exceptional history which are sure to be appreciated by connoisseurs. ADDENDUM PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAR IS SOLD WITHOUT TECHNICAL INSPECTION.
