The Ghost of St. Genis Poilly refering ot where the car was discovered hidden away in a garage, in the small town St. Genis Poilly for more than 4 decades only to be discovered by incident.

My list of cars are many and very broad, but I´ve allways put my bet on the under-dogs, and they have never failed to impress me.

The Lancia Flaminia by Touring, came in my spotlight reading an article in the magazine Road-Rat, it was not a very impressive article, but the pictures did the trick, and I had it on my radar for some years, and I did look at them very closely when I saw one.

When this one came up for sale, I bought it at sight, and now I´m going to bring it back to former glory, and when it´s ready in 2 years time, my wife and I will drive it all the way to Cote d ázur and along the French and Italian Riveria...
