15 years or so ago I was in a barn looking like that with the same type of cars.
I wonder if it was this barn ... I remember going bananas with some of the cars in there, altough they were all stored and neglected.

Went to a barn locally a few weeks ago to look at a Biturbo Maser and there were lots of Lancias in there too What a sight!

1 NPB , is that the only roadworthy one , at least they're dry so there's a chance they could be restored

It's a very rare one being a 1600.

He's just finishing that one off. 7k miles from new!

Some real beauties there Phil

Looks like a Flaminia 3C GT - six cylinders, 3 camshafts...

In my dream garage !

They are for sale Jonny and most ran until 2002, if you want any of them let me know.

Serviced a Zagato Bi Turbo last week only done 44,000 kilometres.
At first I thought I had gone to the Dark side but I thoroughly enjoyed my road test with the dog leg manual gearbox and she certainly had enough oomph.k

I'd take the 1600 Zagato and Flaminias in a heart beat, but think Mrs CJ would probably peel back my chest and rip it out if I uttered the immortal words "guess what I've bought dear.."

Why are these pictures lovely and yet at the same time so sad?

 

[Contigo]

True, I understand that but to be fair the guy recently retired and has started work on the Zag (silver one) above and has done a cracking job. He intends to remove one or two more from the barn and start the restoration. He has sold the black one to a local Lancia specialist so most if not all of them will be restored to their formal glory if not better.

The Flaminia Touring's are worth lots of money in that state especially the blue one as it is RHD and there are only a handful out there.

 

[JonnyCJ]

The Flaminias are stunning - glimpsed one in an episode of The Saint once.

Or was it Randall and Hopkirk.....

 

[StuartW]

I do like the Fulvia Zagato, definitely under valued to my eyes

I know that they're all Citroen related, but worth a view

That's a proper obsession, I can't see many of those seeing the light of day sadly
