Description
The Lancia Fulvia (Tipo 818) is an automobile produced by Lancia between 1963 and 1976. Named after the Via Fulvia, the Roman road that led from Tortona to Turin, it was introduced at the 1963 Geneva Motor Show and produced in three versions: Berlina 4-door saloon, 2-door Coupé, and Sport, an alternative fastback coupé designed and built by Zagato on the Coupé floorpan.
Fulvias are noted for their role in motorsport history, including a 1972 victory in the International Rally Championship.[2] Road & Track described the Fulvia as "a precision car, a technical tour de force". Coupé 1600 HF (Tipo 818. 740/ 741): 1970. Facelifted, all-steel body with 1, 584 cc engine with Solex C42DDHF carburettor producing 115 CV (85 kW; 113 hp) at 6, 000 rpm. The body was modified from the standard 1. 3 Coupé to incorporate widened wheel arches, replacing the extensions used on the 1st series HFs.
This Fulvia HF presented here is a completely restored car. Both the body and all moving parts have been restored or overhauled, such as the engine and the gearbox. A lot of material is available in the form of photos and invoices. This was all done with great love by the very well-known Lancia Restaurateurs.
Body has been completely repainted: top and bottom, inside and out. Underside is tectylized, all internal parts are treated with wax. Suspension/ drive parts powder coated.
Technical: car is technically still in 'original' specification: no electronics or other innovations. However, (almost) all add-on parts under the hood have been replaced with new ones. The only exception to this is the electronic ignition - this is because the continuous adjustment of the mechanical ignition is necessary too often.
Engine block has been restored and built by Maarten van Baluschek of Track motortechniek, absolute specialist in Fulvia engines, adjustment is/ is done by Wainer Mariuzzio of CasaLancia.
Gearbox completely restored by/ at Huib Geurink (Casalancia) - all bearings and gears. All rubbers and pipes of the bodywork etc. have been replaced. New wiring harness. New tank. New copper brake lines, All stainless steel parts re-polished. Original 14-inch HF rims re-rounded and sprayed. Carburetors restored in Italy. Leaf springs re-heated and shaped. Door handles re-treated with zamac and chromed, Logos re-chromed.
Including equipment for (historical) rides: original OMP roll cage, two in-period BF seats, four-point belts from Sabelt, Brantz (mechanical) trip meter, lamp for lighting navigator, two extra spotlights (chromed), 1 extra reversing light, 12V connection for rally magnifying glass or pod.
The result is this beautiful Lancia Fulvia HF that drives, shifts and steers fantastically as if it were a new car. In the interior are two BF bucket seats mounted with four-point belts from Sabelt. Furthermore, there is a compass and a trip meter in it, which you need in most rallies. If you are looking for a very serious rally car that also looks nice, you could think of this Lancia because this car is 110% in order.
