For Italy, the new Lancia Flavia 1961 contained many sensations: Front-wheel drive, boxer engine, disc brakes and four headlights. However, 'hobby' tester Kranz was not so enthusiastic, as similar features were already familiar from German vehicles. Nevertheless, he was able to report a few highlights. This article reproduces the restored original test report, supplemented by restored illustrations from the time and archive images from the period.
At the end of 1962, the magazine 'hobby' carried out a major comparative test with eleven saloons from Germany, France, England and Italy. In a tough competition, hot-blooded family sports cars had to be compared with utility saloons designed for comfort. The fact that a German representative won was not a matter of course, as places 2 to 4 went to "foreign countries". This article reproduces the original wording of the report at the time and shows all eleven sedans compared in many archive photos.
In Ticino, three Lancia Flavia Coupés were discovered in a derelict building, dilapidated, overgrown and disfigured by graffiti - or embellished, depending on the observer's point of view. This picture story shows the work of art in its current state and tells the story behind it.
Throughout her life, the pretty Flavia was overshadowed by her two sisters. The older one was much prettier, the younger one far more successful than her. This left Flavia with the thankless role of the middle child in the Lancia family, who was good at many things but never excelled anywhere. This article tells the story of the Lancia Flavia with a focus on the elegant coupés accompanied by many historical photos and shows a late Coupé 2000 on current video and audio material.
