Flaminia Coupe 2.5 for sale

[JohnMillham]

The last picture reminds me .... I'm still looking for an oil filler cap like that one - with the breather pipe. It's to try to keep the fumes down in the Augusta. Anyone got one for sale? Even a rusty one?
 Regards, John

i am glad i asked.does anyone have a favourite.grey/silver is definately nice

[LanciAlan]

If re-doing mine I would go for black or dark blue (if the underlying body finish could take it) to set off all the lovely chromework. I think the grey can look a bit battleship on its own though black over grey is very sympathetic to the design. Or silver, though it eclipses the chrome as much as enhancing it. Not white anyhow.

Just a gratuitous plug to say that the eBay auction for my Flaminia is ending tomorrow (Tuesday) and that it currently seems unlikely, on this the second time of asking on eBay, to make the reserve I have set of £3500, this being the (classic car magazine) indicated "book" value for a rough example.

I also have the car advertised in Viva Lancia this month so that may produce a different stream of interest.

I am surprised that it has generated relatively little enquiries so far from on-line marketing but that may reflect the fact that it is located in Oireland ... I previously WON an eBay auction for an identical car in bits to contribute to the restoration of this one but then the seller back-pedalled even though my winning bid exceeded the €2000 reserve.

You would think that, if someone was prepared to bid me up to that much for a dismantled car they would be interested in a complete and running car. Maybe that someone doesn't actually exist .....

I don't expressly want to sell the car at all but I need a budget for a Fulvia project (2013 50th Anniversary) and  I am unlikely to get around to restoring the Flaminia for a long time yet. It is also somewhat "higher ground" in cost and parts availability terms than the more run-of-the-mill Fulvia/Flavia stuff I am used to.

Reasons for selling or not selling aside, I am pushing it now because I will be attending the AGM in a few weeks and that presents an opportunity to repatriate it to the UK at optimal cost/convenience to any prospective UK purchaser.

Its previous UK reg no was 310 HUS and I understand it was owned at one stage by a Club member.

This confirms the squeeze on household discretionary spending - best strategy would be to lock it away for 7 years....

I would love it but the resto cost is not in my pocket right now....

[Richard Fridd]

hi Alan,never mind the recession!when i recieve my modest payout on august 28 i will be in a position to contact you if still appropriate.i do understand that it makes good sense for a late july delivery to a new uk owner though.also do you have a total cost inc.the bumper,transmission,seat etc+delivery and what do you have in mind as a fulvia project for the forthcoming 50th event as i can keep my eyes peeled locally.best regards richard

[LanciAlan]

Richard

I would be thinking £4000 for the car and all the bits and something like £4500 if I were to deliver it to you.

I have the transmission but the bumper/overriders and seat are in France and would have to be posted from there (included in the above prices and subject only to cooperation of the vendor which I do not doubt).

I have plenty of project Fulvias and parts here (3x 1300 Coupe and 1x 1600 Zagato) and I just need a budget to start on one. But if I were delivering a car to you I would like to pick something up on the way back so do keep an eye out for something in Fulvia/Flavia line. I have no Zagato spares whatsoever.

hi Alan,the 4000 asking price does indeed tie up with the 'classic cars' price guide with 8000 quoted for a 'good' one.please could you tell me if the 500 delivery is to the AGM or to the buyers address.on the local fulvia / flavia front the only one i know of at present is the white s2 sedan+many spares in kent as seen in the VL ads a while back.having seen it i think it is ok for the money apart from its colour-others may disagree of course.also i am going to look at a neighbours surplus fulvia stuff this week-sport ally bonnet/wheelbolts/indicator lenses front and side/exhaust/s1 thick burgundy parts book/s2 wheels/brake hoses/front script/int.door pull/handbrake or clutch cable?[he is not sure]s2 wheel centres.best regards richard

[LanciAlan]

Richard

£500 is my estimate of the cost of ferry (probably later in the off season), trailer hire and petrol for me to deliver the car to a location that is within about 250 miles of Holyhead or Pembroke.

By delivery at the AGM I meant the same thing i.e. dropping the car to a not too distant new owner's location en route rather than dumping it at the hotel.

In either case I would hope to maximise the value of the trip to myself by picking up another car on the way home

The AGM obviously suits better as I am travelling there anyhow and wouldn't have to make a separate trip so the delivery would cover some of  my AGM travel costs too and I could probably do it for a bit less - say £300.

If you think you want the car we should continue this conversation in  e-mail or pm as we may be able to work something out around the timing of my AGM delivery and your money coming through in August.

hi all,hopefully have a flaminia on the way,so although there are not many flaminia posts generally how many people here are experienced with these  cars i wonder as i will need some advice along the way i expect!to begin with i may need some s/h wheel trims[hoops]probably some reasonable s/h tyres to suit and perhaps some clutch parts[or should i get the existing one refurbished?]i assume my spare fulvia wheel bearings can be used if reqd?also do i need to have special tools made as i have done with my fulvias and are steering joints interchangable with other cars?best regards richard.advice welcome as usual!

[DavidLaver]

Congratulations!!

David

[Richard Fridd]

thankyou David,if things go to plan working on a flaminia should provide something for the 'Flaminia' section of the forum.i need to get in touch with existing flaminia owners i suppose.there is one here in kent whose name escapes me at the moment.best regards richard

Ref Aurelia 'alloy wheels', I have got asn unused set of the Heinbrand 15" wheels which are a copy of the Technomagnesio wheels. Heinbrand marketed them although they were made by Compomotive in the UK.

hi Chris,what are these wheels like and do they only fit an aurelia?see you at silverstone if you are racing.best regards richard
