barrett Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 This honest old lhd Firenza looks absolutely bob-on! I'm sure it would be an utterly miserable driving experience, but I reckon these are among the best looking British cars of the era straight out the box. Sadly, this photograph is quite a threat as to its potential fate Surely only a total philistine would go down that path, but old Vauxhalls aren't far behind old Fords in the knucklehead demographic stakes.

barrett Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm trying very hard to make sense of this one. £8k - let's say £6k after negotiation - doesn't seem too bad for the best-looking, most sophisticated car ever built considering all the chrome has been done and it 'just needs' painting and re-assembling. it wouldn't be a huge investment to get this in a state where it could be painted but then, what, £8000 minimum for a half-decent paint job, and then the cost of getting it all back together again - You're in for the best part of £20k and at the end of it it will still have a stupid hole in the roof. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lancia-Flavia-Coupe-Project/174262819071?hash=item2892df98ff:g:t9MAAOSwJZVepb49 Somehow that doesn't seem very canny when you could pop down to Hampshire and pick up this straight, un-messed with example - albeit with a shit interior - for, what, £12,500? £12,000? That's about on the money for one in decent condition, although prices for minters are slowly going up. Still blows my mind that such a 'special' car could be so cheap. My 404 is worth more than that, and it needs loads of work and is fitted with one of the least engaging engines ever built.

barrett Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 The Camargue has definitely improved with age. I always thought the'd look great if they didn't have that stupid R-R grille, but the same can be said for virtually every R-R built since about 1930. Paolo Martin was a genius, and the fact that a car of such immense heft looks even a little bit lithe and sporty is a testament to his skills. The federal bumpers don't do it any justice, either. If they'd been launched in 1971 or something I bet they'd look loads better. They have to be in a 1970s bathroom suite colour to really look their best, too. Proper money though, innit, for something that's always gonna be a bit disappointing. I'd rather have a 130 coupe for a third of the price Skizzer, The Mighty Quinn, RobT and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tax and fees depend where it's going. That's not uncommon to see up around there because if it goes to DE then the taxes are low, NJ there'll be other nonsense. Export? No clue. Note that one is also a longer wheelbase and by UK standards is getting towards being difficult to use (the turning circle on them is terrible). You could always look for a long bed crew cab for complete insanity. Note that the HD variants do have completely different underpinnings, the 2500 is the same as mine but with heavier springs and stiffer tires. LT1 also makes a 1980's Mercedes with no options checked look plush and feature-filled. That one there? Work truck. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can imagine that the gross weight of these trucks are going to be easily in excess of 3,500kg that a B licence would cover... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
