Title: Flavia as a dune buggy? Post by: DavidLaver on 18 March, 2015, 09:36:26 AM I'm intrigued as to quite how they were testing this car: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1961-LANCIA-FLAVIA-NICE-6-PAGE-ROAD-TEST-ARTICLE-AD-/271804823451?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f48d4779b Title: Re: Flavia as a dune buggy? Post by: chriswgawne on 18 March, 2015, 10:13:20 AM I really like the styling of the early Flavia Sedans, particularly the 'piano key' dashboard. There are a couple in vgc round here in dark grey with long term owners who are very proud of them. Hints of commonality with Borgward Isabella styling I think, partic at the rear and unlike anything British of the time.
