Why it matters
The Flaminia 335 Presidenziale is Italy's best-known state car, built in only four examples by Pininfarina for the Quirinale. Created for Queen Elizabeth II's 1961 visit to Italy, two of the cars are still used by the Italian presidency.
How rare is it?

History
Pininfarina built the four long-wheelbase open cars in 1961 for the Queen's state visit; their 335 cm wheelbase gives the model its name. The cars were named Belfiore, Belmonte, Belvedere and Belsito and used a 2.5-litre petrol V6. All four were restored in 2001. Belfiore and Belvedere remain in service at the Quirinale, Belsito is at the Museo Storico della Motorizzazione Militare in Rome, and Belmonte is on display at the Museo dell'Automobile in Turin.
