The Fulvia (Tipo 818) was a new, light, sporting car introduced by Lancia at the Geneva Motor Show in 1963.and produced until 1976. Named after Via Fulvia, a Roman road leading from Tortona to Torino, the Fulvia was available in three variants: Berlina 4-door saloon, 2-door Coupé, and Sport, with a distinctive fastback coupé designed and built by Zagato, available as an alternative.
As well as being a delightful and rewarding road car in the best Italian tradition, Fulvias are notable for their role in motorsport history, including winning the International Rally Championship in 1972. On testing it in 1967, the American magazine 'Road & Track' summed up the Fulvia as "a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force".
Offered at this sale is this freshly painted 1973 Series II Fulvia Coupé. The second series Fulvia Sport was launched at the 1970 Turin Motor Show. Changes included a 5-speed gearbox, revised suspension geometry, taller ride height, an alternator in place of the previous dynamo, a taller final drive compared to earlier cars, and wider tyres.[8] The body was now all-steel and seated 2+2 passengers. Several other changes set the second series apart from the first: new driving lights, side mirror moved from the wing to the door, larger bullet-shaped tail lights from the Peugeot 204, and stamped steel wheels without hubcaps.[8]
Coming from a private collection, this super little car has been fully re-commissioned and underwent a mechanical rebuild during 2014, with, in addition, new brakes, tyres and an exhaust, so in essence, this car is ready to go. The vendor has informed us that, with just a little attention to the front seats, the car would be "on the button".
