Sadly have put my Coupe up for sale
« on: 24 April, 2026, 09:04:23 PM »
Reluctantly I have put my concours winning coupe up for sale which you can see in the ‘Members cars for sale’ section of the website.

I have reluctantly decided to sell my 1963 Flavia Coupe which many of you are familiar with, which is a well known car in the LMC, Flavia Consortium and with Omicron.

It is a rare Nardi Variant 1005 version which consists of larger pistons and liners taking it to 1721cc, a Nardi inlet manifold, a twin choke Weber carburettor and an Aurelia B24 type air filter, all of which increases torque by approximately 30%. It also now has electronic ignition making it a very reliable starter.

It has won numerous concours awards including 2022 Flavia Class, 2022 Overall winner, 2023 Masterclass winner, 2025 Flavia class winner etc. Displayed on the club stand in 2022 at the NEC and at Olympia in 2023.

I bought it in 14 years ago from the famous Italian collector Meliga Oreste.

It has never been restored, has the original floors, sills and wheel arches. It was repainted in its original Rosso Chester back in 1997 due to the paint having faded in the Italian sun.

Over the years it has had new bumpers, been re carpeted in wool from Omicron, leather stripped and recoloured, new brakes, re-veneered dash, new exhaust, original spec tyres, inertia seat belts fitted,  powder coated wheels, much rechroming etc, etc.

I have an A4 folder full of bills/receipts over the last 14 years along with the original Italian documents, and original parts catalogue/lubrication chart and handbook.

Please feel free to contact me for a chat or to come and view it.

Only selling because we are downsizing our house and need the space.

Forgot to put the asking price - Doh !
Looking for offers around £27500.00

Sadly I don’t seem able to add any more photos of the interior, engine bay, underside etc.
So if any one wants more photos please email me at Rob.fireleyton@gmail.com
