1959 Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato
- Engine
- 2.5L inline-six (original; subsequently replaced per Zagato family instruction)
The Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato is a rare aluminium-bodied grand touring coupé distinguished by Zagato's signature double-bubble roofline, produced between 1959 and 1967 in limited numbers. This covered-headlight example was supplied new to Giovanni Tavella SpA, a company connected to the Zagato family, and subsequently passed to Luca Zagato himself in 1983. Restored in the early 1980s at the Zagato workshop, it retains its original Milan registration and period documentation.
