Italia Autosport are excited to present this wonderfully restored Lancia Fulvia 1600 Sport Zagato. Registered as new in Derby UK and with only 5 owners over the last 53 years. The first owner keeping it for 36 years. During his ownership in 1997, it travelled to Italy to be fully restored and is presented today in its original colour Rosso San Siro.

The owner of Italia Autosport - John Pogson started his career a 'long time ago' as a mechanic at a Lancia Main Dealer. He worked on many many Lancia at that time and fell in love with the Fulvia HF's. He has personally owned many including Francesco de Virgello's HF. After his assessment of this car, it has been pronounced that this is a technically exceptional and untampered with survivor. John has a great affection for this car so if you encounter him during your enquiry make sure you bring your flask and sandwiches.

The Zagato Sport evolved from the famous championship winning Fulvia coupe of that time. Lancia commissioned the design house Zagato to develop a car that was lighter, more aerodynamic and styled in a way that would draw the attention of the 1960’s most discerning car enthusiast. This design also reduced weight and improved aerodynamics. These factors combined gave it a competitive edge in events like the Targa Florio and 12 Hours of Sebring.

Although the Fulvia Coupé HF became the dominant rally car, the Fulvia Sport Zagato was better suited for track racing. The aerodynamic fastback body gave it an edge in high-speed sections compared to the standard Fulvia Coupe. It was particularly effective in wet conditions where its Front Wheel Drive layout provided superior grip.

The 1584cc 7 degree V4 engine is currently set up to show the intake trumpets which are beautifully designed. This configuration produces an engine note that is purposefully resonant. The engine revs eagerly up to 6, 500 rpm, and at high RPMs, it delivers an urgent, race-car-like wail rather than a deep roar.

The original airbox is available and will be supplied fitted or not at the next owners request.

Although the pictures show the car without bumpers. It will be sold with the front bumper and rear quarter bumpers fitted or not at the buyers request.

This car has won many awards for presentation quality at the Lancia AGM during it's life.
