Factory-standard equipment for the 1967 Lancia Flavia (1.8 L) reflected Lancia’s technical priorities: lightness, handling and a degree of comfort rather than bare-bones simplicity. The following describes the typical factory-fit specification and features for this model year.

Mechanical and drivetrain
- Engine: 1.8-litre aluminum alloy horizontally-opposed four (boxer) engine, fitted as the standard power unit for the 1967 Flavia. The layout contributed to a low center of gravity and compact packaging.
- Transmission: a 4-speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top ratios was standard. A Borg-Warner automatic was offered as a dealer/ factory option for buyers wanting an automatic transmission.
- Drive layout: front-engine, front-wheel drive — a characteristic Lancia configuration intended to improve traction and interior packaging compared with contemporary rear-drive rivals.

Chassis and running gear
- Suspension: independent suspension on all four corners; the front used wishbone geometry with coil springs and telescopic dampers, and the rear employed an independent design intended to balance ride comfort and road holding.
- Brakes: factory fitment included disc brakes at the front with a servo assist; rear braking was by drums on standard models. Brake system design emphasized progressive feel and stopping power appropriate to the car’s coaching.
- Wheels and tyres: steel wheels with hubcaps were standard; higher-spec or optional trims could be fitted with styled wheels and upgraded tyres.

Body and exterior
- Construction: unibody steel construction with well-proportioned coachwork available in sedan (saloon) and coachbuilt coupe forms depending on the variant.
- Trim: polished chrome bumpers and brightwork around the grille and window surrounds; simple, clean exterior detailing consistent with mid-1960s Italian design.
- Lighting and visibility: round headlamps and conventional exterior mirrors; glass and exterior glazing were standard safety glass.

Interior and comfort
- Seating: two front bucket seats and a bench rear seat finished in cloth or available vinyl/leather trim depending on specification. Typical factory upholstery choices were pragmatic and durable.
- Dashboard and controls: driver-focussed instrument layout with speedometer, tachometer and essential gauges (fuel, oil, temperature, charging) mounted in a straightforward cluster. A wood-trim or simulated-wood fascia was often used on higher-trim examples.
- Heating and ventilation: a factory heating and ventilation system with adjustable vents; heater controls were simple rotary or slider style.
- Convenience: manual window winders and manual door locks were standard; a radio was usually offered as an optional extra from the factory.

Electrical and safety
- Electrical system: 12-volt electrics with standard lighting and ignition components for the era; wipers and a basic wash system were fitted as standard.
- Safety features: lap belts were typically fitted; advanced passive safety items common today were not part of the original factory specification.

Options and factory extras
- Common factory extras included automatic transmission, upgraded trim and upholstery, radio/entertainment units, and different wheel/tyre packages. Coachbuilt coupe versions (Pininfarina, Vignale, etc., depending on the submodel) offered alternative bodywork and interior trim levels.

This description reflects the factory-supplied baseline equipment for the 1967 Flavia with the 1.8-litre engine; individual cars may differ depending on country of delivery, dealer-installed options and any restorations or modifications carried out since original production.
