"The Lancia Fulvia was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963 with production running all the way through to 1976. Fulvia’s are notable for their role in motor racing history, including winning the International Rally Championship in 1972. On testing it in 1967, Road and Track summed up the Fulvia as ‘a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force’. The Fulvia Berlina was designed by Antonio Fessia to replace the Lancia Appia with which it shared almost no components. The Appia was a rear wheel drive car, however, the Fulvia moved to front wheel drive like the Flavia. The general engineering design of the Fulvia was identical to that of the Flavia with the major exception of the engine, the Flavia having a four cylinder horizontally opposed engine and the Fulvia a 'narrow angle' vee configuration as featured on most production Lancia’s. The Fulvia used a longitudinal engine mounted in front of its transaxle. An independent suspension in front, used wishbones and a single leaf spring, while a solid axle with a panhard rod and leaf springs were used in the rear. Four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes were fitted to first series Fulvia’s. With the introduction of the second series in 1970, the brakes were uprated with larger Girling calipers all round and a brake servo.
First registered on 1st March 1976, this wonderfully original Fulvia has enjoyed a pampered life in recent years. The vendor purchased the car from Historics in 2021, previously being owned by multiple classic car collectors. Presented in its original colour of Lancia Blue, the car benefitted from a respray around 18 years ago. The paint has aged well and presents in good order. The cream interior is also clean and shows little signs of wear. Ziebart rust proofed from new the Fulvia benefits from an electric fuel pump and stainless steel exhaust. During the vendors ownership the Lancia has been looked after and maintained by Lancia Specialists, Omicron Engineering with a total of circa £4,600 spent.  Supplied with a V5C registration document, large history file and a workshop manual. A regular at various classic car events, club and race meetings, it is hard to find a car that provides so much enjoyment for the money, even at ten times the price. A true classic of Italian automotive design. Consigned by Daniel Godin
