Daz tells you about the car, how it was manufactured and how that can make the concours restoration process difficult. He shows you what he's been up to so far and what the next plans are on this concours restoration.

Come on guys! Busting to see the next instalment!
We are due to restart work on the Flaminia in May, sorry got busy with a couple of Alfas 🙋♂️
Note that none of the 'lousy' craftmanship on this body was done by Lancia, but instead by Touring, a rather famous Milanese carrosseria since 1926. These are fabulous cars and a joy to drive, easily fast enough in modern traffic.
We’ll said, indeed Carrozzeria Touring were the couchbuilder of the beautiful Flaminia Superleggera
Come on! Busting to see the next installment!
Uh oh! We complete the steel frame reconstruction and it is now away to be painted before being reunited with the beautiful Aluminium skin. Will have an episode on this in Q1 ‘24
I love these sort of videos, big Lancia fan plus I love seeing the skills and craftmanship involved...good luck!
Thank you, work in progress!
Fascinating video, keen to follow the progress of this rebuild. I have three of these rare, gorgeous cars, all fixed-head;- two GTL 2.83C ( either for sale, I dont need two the same!) and a GT 2.5 3C. I had a DB5 for 25 years and agree with the consensus that the Flaminia Touring is a better car in so many ways. Check out Dec.2001 Classic and Sportscar, featuring my early GTL v the DB5.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching! We will try and slot an update on this shortly
I'm a big fan of Lancias - especially the Flaminia Coupe (Pininfarina version). The hard top version of this car is stunning but Superleggera is the CRAZIEST way of building a body - all that galvanic corrosion and no discernible advantage over a unibody structure that I can see. Probably why Touring was the only company I know who used this method.
Thank you Steve, we love them equally well!
Excellent insight into a truly stylish car - please keep this type of content coming !
Thank you so much! 🇮🇹
I look forward to updates on this fascinating project. They weren't actually cut down from fixed head coupes, Lancia built a platform chassis version specially for coachbuilders, Zagato being the other coach firm to use it. You're right though that It didn't anticipate accommodating the soft top mechanism.
Thank you for the comment! It was very insightful to see what lies under the gorgeous Aluminium dress, this part was not so pretty!
that's 100% correct, same floorpan, sills and wheelarches etc for coupe and convertible and the zagato's. You can see where touring added panels. the Lancia supplied panels were of very good quality as they were pressed. ( so floor replacement will need to be good )
@@ianopenshaw8643 our craftsmanship is second to none, we will reveal footage of our finished reproduction floor in the next episode on this subject! Already taking orders for boot floors, the powers of social media 🇮🇹
Agree that the convertibles weren't just chop tops. The coupe, GTL and convertible each have different windshields varying in height.
A friend (lately departed) had one, a Coupe though, that needed some attention to the body. He found a panel beaters dolly inside the wheel arch! They don't make 'em like that any more... 🙄
We found a pair of old safety google when we removed the fuel tank!
Please Lancha, not L'ansia.
Great one!
Thanks!
@@pkthorntonrestorations Will there be new episode?
@@AlfaAlexwe have completed the steel structure now so maybe a good idea when we get a chance. We have 3x Alfas on the go at the moment, 101 Spider, Stepnose and a GTV 2000
@@pkthorntonrestorations Great! Im also restoring alfas.. Currently i have 155q4 in progress and alfa 2600 berlina will come later...
@@AlfaAlex nice projects, keep in touch! 🍀
