Description
The coupe version of Lancia Fulvia was introduced in 1965. It featured Zaccone Mina's trademark 12-degree V 4 engine placed at a 45-degree tilt in front of the transaxle. The ensuing lowered center of gravity was independently suspended via wishbones with single leaf springs at the front and a beam axle with Panhard rod over leaf springs at the rear. The first series was produced from 1966 to 1969 and was offered in street and HF (High Fidelity) competition oriented versions with 1. 2, 1. 3 and 1. 6 lt engines. In 1970 the Series 2 was introduced featuring a revised 5-speed gearbox and larger more efficient Girling brakes. Notably 20 Fulvias were used by Squadra Corse team to establish Lancia's triumphant return in motorsports by winning the International Championship for Manufacturers with epitome victory of Sandro Munari's and Mario Mannucci's car at the 1972 Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo.
The Series 2 Fulvia Coupe 3 1. 3lt offered was acquired by its vendor in 1998 and converted to Rally HF 1, 3 specifications to meet Group 3 Homologation 3024. The engine received numerous upgrades including a lightened crankshaft, racing camshafts and valve springs and competition specified ignition and pumps. The body weight was also reduced via fiberglass engine and boot lids as well as a stripped interior. From 2005 onwards it competed and was awarded in numerous gravel and track events. It just completed the 2022 Historic Acropolis Rally (youtube. com/ clip/ Ugkx4FMem5PEqmdplBjBxuZfRdmRoetiIm_o).
