NEW ARRIVAL: Lancia 2000 Limousine
The Lancia Flavia
The first Italian front wheel drive car.
Before the takeover by Fiat in 1969 Lancia’s always were technically sophisticated cars and the designers often had no eye for the commercial reality.The Flavia, which was introduced in 1960 was no exception to the rule. Italy’s first front wheel drive car was spacious, silent, comfortable, ugly, too expensive and was lacking performance because the designing engineer Antonio Fessia thought that fast cars were unsafe.
Because of the high prices Lancia had to ask for their technical masterpieces, sales actually were too low. Nevertheless Lancia added three additional versions to the Berlina. Every one of them designed and built by famous Italian designers.
Pininfarina took care of the coupé, generally appreciated as the most beautiful Flavia. The Convertibile, with four seats, was created by Vignale and it looks more like the Berlina than the coupé. Zagato presented the very extraordinary Sport which had great aerodynamics. His extravagant design however could not please everybody.
Although the commercial success was poor ( 97.300 cars were made ), the Flavia stayed in production for more than twelve years. The last two years the car was known as “2000”. It is also extraordinary that the car was manufactured for four more years after the takeover by Fiat. It can hardly have been profitable during that period.
During the twelve years the car was built, three series can be distinguished. Nowadays one would say that the car had undergone two facelifts, the first one in 1967. A new Berlina was introduced and production of the Convertibile and Sport ended. There were no changes to the coupé.
In 1969 first the coupé had a facelift, followed by the Berlina in 1970.
The Lancia Berlina 2000 now available at Montagna was first registerd in Switzerland. It has had only one owner from new ( Mr. Jean Seilaz born 02-12-1919). The car is in an incredibly good and original condition, a real eye catcher! The car still has a timeless elegance, is luxurious and very comfortable to drive ! If you would like to experience this car yourself, please contact us. We are looking forward to your visit.
NEW ARRIVAL: Fiat 124 Spider
This Fiat 124 Sport Spider has originated in California, USA. 1st owner was a Mr . Paul Feisthamel and this Fiat was delivered to him on 04/02/1975 by
The car arrived in the Netherlands in 1998 and was fully restored here. Detailed information of this professional restoration, which was completed in 2001, is available. Furthermore all original documentation, including all service and maintenance manuals, are also present.
The well-known Fiat 124 Spider was - just like its arch rival the Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider – designed by Pininfarina and first hit the roads in 1966. The Fiat Spider was manufactured until 1986, whereas the Alfa Spider was kept in production until 1993. The Fiat 124 Spider proved to be a popular open sports tourer right from the start, both in Europe and the US.
A remarkable detail is that the person that drew the timeless shape of the Fiat Spider was Dutchman Tom Tjaarda, who was working for Pininfarina at the time.
