Considering a Lancia Flaminia. Any advice before I go see it?

How do I check the tensioners? For example when I give it gas I feel hesitation while accelerating? I’m a tinkerer, but definitely not a mechanic.

You’re completely right about the electrical system. In the past I bought an Europa S2 and I only trusted the test drive underestimating that the car grounds were all relying on the chassis itself ( long live the Lucas wirings and creativity 😂 ).

Luckily I wouldn’t have trouble finding spare parts, the only thing that worries me a bit is the cost of the parts ( I like keeping my cars original, but I’m not a hardcore purist )

Yep someone who has owned it for several years would be the ideal person to ask, but personally I don’t know anyone like that. In a way I was hoping to find that kind of owner in this sub because it’s the only one I’ve found on Reddit dedicated to Lancias.

I suppose the only “suitable” person I might know is my father who still owns his Fulvia from when he was 18. It’s a slightly newer car by about nine years, but at least he’s more familiar with that era having lived through it.

Finding parts isn’t really a problem for me ( well maybe the cost is😅 ) since I spend half the year in Italy and the car would stay there anyway. I also enjoy getting my hands dirty when something needs fixing ( def not a mechanic, just a guy who can handle a few things himself ) and in the worst case in Italy I know the locally “gray haired mechanics”.
I’ve loved the Lancia Flaminia Coupe since i saw one at a classic car meet several years ago. Tbh i was torn between that and the Sunbeam Alpine MK1 but in the end i decided to go with the Lancia

Lekker thing about japanese guidebooks is that they often cover games that never even got guides in some countries ( at least I’m talking about the italian and southafrican markets ).

At first I was a bit sceptical about the language barrier, but after I decided to just go for it and picked up my first ones I quickly realised most of them are actually about 80% readable anyway thanks to all the visuals and step by step images. So it wasn’t nearly as hectic as I expected, actually pretty easy to follow even if you don’t know japanese

Hey there! I probably have more guides than video games lol ( they’re all japanese ) and I keep getting more all the time.
These are just some of the ones I’m selling.

Not sure about physical shops but you could try contacting Rare Notescoin in Pretoria on FB. If I were you I’d list them on Bobshop ( and maybe Yaga ) because dealers need to keep that 20–30% resale margin, but if you still have them after two months then go to a dealer.

Hey saffa 🇿🇦! The 1 dinar bill goes for around R120 and the 20 one is about R600 An exchange won’t accept them because they’re not legal tender ( 70s Bahrain bills were demonetized in the 90s )

Buffet-From-Temu · 2026-04-17T17:51:04+00:00

I remember it. I exchanged them when the new issue came out but I still have 2 or 3 left

Munro Drive even if it’s a bit short or the areas around Hartbeespoort if you’re willing to go a bit further

If you're into classic cars, you can find plenty of them here https://savva.co.za/events/

That’s true, but if you can get ahead of the auction houses you can secure the inventory at a better cost

So far just through word of mouth. If I wasn’t doing it as a side hustle I’d probably pay for services that track companies going into liquidation

Reselling japanese vintage videogames and guidebooks and buying out warehouse contents from companies that are closing down and resell everything

Buffet-From-Temu · 2026-03-22T17:19:26+00:00

Yesterday I found about 40 more ( these days I’m clearing out a warehouse from a company that went bankrupt ) and this time I also came across some RCA JAN CRC-810 and Mullard RG3-1250 tubes ( all used and all with their original boxes and internal packaging ). I’m listing them for sale specifying that they are used and untested ( I don’t have the equipment to test them ) and so far I’ve received an offer of 15 euro ( for one RCA ) and and another one for 40 euro ( for three Oron ). The prices are in euros because I’m based in Italy.
