Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Richard Fridd on 16 October, 2018, 05:21:54 PM Looks nice David. RHD. Only the bodywork is shown. I wonder what the rest looks like?
Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Flamfan on 16 October, 2018, 07:01:16 PM Looks LHD to me ?
Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Richard Fridd on 17 October, 2018, 05:15:54 AM LHD in the photos and RHD in the text.
Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Flamfan on 17 October, 2018, 09:16:09 AM Just spoke to Brooklands. It is LHD.
Strange, I would have thought that the Classic Driver link describing the car as RHD was a direct link to the Brooklands website, but their website doesn't mention either RHD or LHD. Looks a very nice example though. Brooklands commission seems pretty reasonable at 10 % plus vat ( on the commission ) Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: DavidLaver on 17 October, 2018, 12:44:23 PM LHD? RHD? Just look at the size of that oil cooler... Love that casting to translate throttle rod movement to the cable, or is that the choke? Air filter looks like its off a Ferrari. The other side of the engine next to the brake booster is something else the same colour. I first thought "wiper motor" but now not so sure... Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: lancialulu on 17 October, 2018, 12:53:38 PM next to the brake booster is something else the same colour. Its part of the brake booster secondary diaphragm and little air filter. Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Richard Fridd on 17 October, 2018, 03:56:59 PM Another angle (different car, on Car and Classic). I hope nothing falls into that LHS rocker box breather vent
Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Charles Frodsham on 17 October, 2018, 05:09:27 PM Is it a 2.5 or 2.8?
Very enticing estimate......are we missing something? Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Flamfan on 17 October, 2018, 05:21:55 PM It's a 2.8. Buyer pays another 10% commission + vat on the commission
Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Sliding Pillar on 17 October, 2018, 06:30:43 PM The auction listing says it is a 3B, so 2.5l.
Checking the reg number on the DVLA web page says that it is a 2.5l too. Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Flamfan on 17 October, 2018, 09:07:00 PM Yep - you live and learn. I thought that only the 2.8 models had air vents on the ends of the fascia but the later 2.5's must also
have had them. Should have noticed that the cutaway for the gear lever on the drivers seat was not present on the 2.8 models and I think the drivers and passenger seats were the same shape ?

You are being enticed to turn up at the auction :) Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Charles Frodsham on 19 October, 2018, 05:26:02 PM I thinks so......
Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Lapsed Cesare Ferrari on 19 October, 2018, 05:59:07 PM According to the Nada Editore book, 3B coupes were produced with 2.5 litres from autumn 1962 and then with 2.8 starting some time in 1963.
Cesare Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Charles Frodsham on 19 October, 2018, 06:41:53 PM As shown here..823.00...non 3B... 1962 only.
Note LHD/RHD 823.02 and 823.03 produced in 62 and 63. Title: Re: Flamina PF - auction at Brooklands 24th Nov Post by: Flamfan on 24 November, 2018, 08:57:52 PM The winning bid was £ 23,500 + 10% commission + 20 % vat on the commission. Total paid = £ 26,270.
That might seem lowish but ---- Only 48% of cars on offer sold. Most cars sold were low estimate or considerably less than low estimate. 2 Flaminia's were originally up for sale. The Touring Flaminia was withdrawn so Lancia had a 100 % sale rate ;D Being an auction we have no idea what faults might transpire and this is the best time of year to buy cars at a reasonable price. I would imagine the winning bid relates to an asking price of approx £ 35,000 retail ? A very nice looking example. Did anyone on here push the button ? ::) |
