LANCIA FULVIA COUPE’ 1.3S RALLYE (1970), CHASSIS N. 818.360*009398, ENGINE: NARROW ANGLE V4, DISPLACEMENT: 1298 CM3, POWER: 103 BHP, BODY STYLE: COUPE’, THE FASTEST 1.3 FULVIA; The Fulvia saloon, launched in 1963, had a V4 engine derived from its predecessor, the Appia, but a new front wheel drive transmission derived from the range topping Flavia. The new engine was more powerful and higher revving, while the fwd gave the car a very sporty handling. While the saloon was finding its place in the market, the Lancia team, headed by Prof. Fessia, was working on its Coupé variant. This was to be a model designed and produced in house, and its author was a very talented Piero Castagnero. Born in 1965, the Fulvia Coupè had a wheelbase reduced by 150mm., while the body was lighter and more aerodynamic. The engine was a 1215,78 cm3 with 80 bhp and a weight of only 950 kg. It was followed in January 1966 by the Fulvia Coupè HF, with 88 bhp and a simpler and lighter finish, with a weight of just 825 kg, and then in 1968 by the 1.3S Rallye with 103 bhp and 930 kg. The 1.3 S Rallye had a 1298,26 cm3 engine with a higher compression ratio and rpm, which allowed it to reach 173 kmh (108 mph). 16,827 were produced between 1968 and 1970. The Rallye we offer today has been completely restored and represents a very good opportunity to purchase a model whose value will surely go up in the next few years. The vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition but for safety reasons, we advise the purchaser to have it checked over and to replace the fluids, filters and perishable elements.
