Lancia Flaminia Coupe GTL
The Lancia Flaminia (Tipo 813/823/824/826) is a luxury car that was produced by the Italian automaker Lancia from 1957 to 1970. It was Lancia's flagship model at the time, replacing the Aurelia. Throughout its lifespan, it was available as a sedan, coupé, and convertible. The Flaminia coupé and convertible were coach-built cars with bodies by various prestigious Italian coachbuilders. Four "presidential" stretched limousine Flaminias were produced by Pininfarina for use at state occasions. 12.633 Flaminias were sold in 13 years. Coupés sold more than the four-door sedan, an unusual occurrence seen at the time only in American compact and mid-size models, where the coupé versions were standard factory models costing the same or less than the sedan, whereas the Flaminia coupés were considerably more expensive than the limousine-like Berlina due to their bodywork.

Name:
The Flaminia was named after the Via Flaminia, the road that leads from Rome to Ariminum (Rimini). This respected the long-standing Lancia tradition of naming individual models after Roman roads.
Flaminia GT, GTL and Cabriolet
Lancia Flaminia GT, 1961
Carrozzeria Touring designed and built these two-door aluminium bodies, which are easily distinguished by their four round headlights (instead of two on the Pininfarina Flaminias) and a shorter cabin – the wheelbase was significantly reduced for the GT and Convertibile, meaning only two seats could be fitted. The GT was a coupé, while the Convertibile was clearly a convertible version (with an optional hardtop). The GTL, introduced in 1962, was a 2+2 version of the GT with a slightly longer wheelbase. The Convertible was produced until 1964, with a total of 847 examples (180 with the 2.8), while the GT and GTL remained in production until 1965, with 1718 GTs and 300 GTLs (of which 168 were GTs and 297 GTLs with the 2.8).
This Flaminia GTL that we present here is originally a Dutch car and was one of the six that came to the Netherlands. For the last 25 years this GTL has remained with one and the same person who has always maintained the car very well and always driven it. The only thing he has changed is a 123 ignition and a starter relay. The body is in the color New Market Grigio and is beautiful without any rust and the black leather is still very good. I would like to emphasize again that this car can be used for any rally or holiday ride. There is a lot of documentation with the car and everything is well described by the previous owner who was an absolute Lancia fanatic.
A perfect Lancia Flaminia GTL for the absolute enthusiast of the beautiful cars from the 60s.
