now that has some really nice lines and looks good - just not convinced the grey/blue colour does it justice - but cant decide what colour would in its place
interior looks amazing and love the doors too

That is stunning. The details are just perfect. I think it wears the colour very well indeed.
How much do these change hands for....

That as been so well translated between designers drawing board and coachbuilders hammer. So many intricacies that are novel yet work together. Twin rear wipers! Beautifully incorporated beam between the tops of the B pillars to add stiffness.

This car made me stop for breath when reading Octane too. It is just absolutely beautiful. Not officially ever produced was it? I think the only examples were classed as prototypes - probably why it seems so uncompromised.

Twin rear wipers! I hadn't even noticed! Very cool. Not officially ever produced was it? No, they only built four - functional show cars to appeal to the American market, but the three-box design and a lot of the styling cues lived on through the Flaminia Berlina:

Thats beautiful..those colours are proper riveira colours...would suit a nice burgundy too..Classic lines its motoring equivelant of a Riva boat..Looks much more modern than a fifties design.

A Farina would also be a good starting point for a replica, but would be IVA heaven!

Very nice, loving the details though for me the front end of the Flaminia Berlina looks better. Headlight arrangement looks a little strange in my humble opinion, could live with it though ;D

love both (and in fact all three, the Thesis to a lesser extent)
The Berlina had twin rear wipers too didn't it? Didn't it also have them inside the rear window or was that Facel Vega Excellance which did that?
