Passion is created from youthful experiences: From Milan, this is Mr. Caruso’s story of a search and restoration which, if not financially astute, nevertheless was gratifying in a heartfelt manner, which cannot be quantified.
For many years, I have searched for a particular Lancia Flavia, as similar as possible to the car that was owned by my family, in which I learned to drive with the help of my late father. His was an 1800 Berlina, dark green in color, and I remember it well and fondly. But after years of searching I decided to buy the top of the line, and the decision was made to purchase a 2000 LX.
