The Attractions

Having won numerous stages of the World Rally Championship, triumphing in Morocco, San Remo and Monte Carlo among others, the Lancia Fulvia is rightly considered one of the best Italian sports coupés of its era. Thanks to its front-wheel drive and its lively V4 engine, the Fulvia was particularly at home on the slipperiest of roads and is still one of the most involving and rewarding driving cars today.

This Fulvia 1.3 S series 2 is distinguished by its high level of originality. It has only had two owners since new and retains its period documentation and even its original Rome plates. The bodywork and interior present well, with a light patina befitting its age, and we have been informed that the mechanics are efficient and reliable.
