Title: Interesting Flavia Sport 1800 Post by: Sebastien on 23 November, 2011, 10:57:47 AM On autoscout24.ch there is a nice Flavia Sport (Zagato) for sale, near Berne (Switzerland):

I have never seen a Flavia Sport with such an instrument cluster, with 3 round instruments. However it looks original and unmolested. The car also looks nice on its special Borrani wheels. Title: Re: Interesting Flavia Sport 1800 Post by: phil-m on 23 November, 2011, 09:18:11 PM I have never seen such an instrument cluster, I think it is a non standard change as is the matching wood panel on the passenger side. Does anyone recognise the actual instruments themselves?

I found a few photos of their dash's on google. The Spider uses the two main dials, but I found this from a Sprint which seems likely. I found another with the same tacho redline.

Mystery solved! I claim the prize!! Title: Re: Interesting Flavia Sport 1800 Post by: B20B24 on 17 December, 2011, 09:03:44 PM It's the 2600SZ dash look:
