Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II, 1966
Chassis No.: FC82572 Engine No.: FC84193HE Registration: FFX 185D The Fulvia Sport was a fastbacktwo-seater based on Coupé mechanicals, built for Lancia by Zagato where it had been designed by Ercole Spada. The Sport was commissioned by Lancia to Zagato as a more aerodynamic and sportier version of the coupé, which could be used in road and track competitions. There were three peculiarities of the Series I Sport body which were the engine bonnet hinged to the righthand side, the rear hatch, (which could be lifted electrically by a handful of centimetres to aid cabin ventilation) and the spare wheel being housed in a separate compartment, accessed from a rotating panel which held the rear number plate. The Sport 1.3 S had a very limited run from 1968 to 1969 with an updated 1,298cc engine producing 92 hp (69 kW) at 6,000 rpm. This delightful and highly original 1968 Series I Sport S presents very well in pale yellow, (Avorio Santa Anita), with black trim interior and Italian specification rubber floor mats. Being a ‘proper’ Lancia, this rare and sought after Series I, (with aluminium bonnet and doorskins), has nice touches which were lost on later cars; such as the chrome headlight surrounds and door handles, side-hinged bonnet and rear access hatch housing the spare wheel. Formerly part of a large Italian collection, the vendor purchased this car seven years ago upon its arrival to the UK. The car was in excellent rust free condition, but had clearly been unused for a while and required some recommissioning. With the help of marque specialists, the carburettors, brakes, suspension and other components were gone through, reconditioning or replacing parts as required. A new correct headlining was also fitted by Omicron Engineering. Since then only routine maintenance has been required with the car reportedly driving exceptionally well. Everything is standard and correct apart from the uprated 123 electronic ignition system and the period Stihl Auto alloy wheels. The front bumpers have been removed for a more ‘sporty’ look, but are included with the car. Supplied with a V5C registration document, history file, front bumpers and MoT test certificate valid until June 2021. This incredibly rare, (9th of the 129 1.3 S cars built) and wonderful to drive Lancia, offers enormous fun and driving pleasure, as well as membership to a very exclusive club compared to the much more widely available Series II cars. https://www.historics.co.uk/auction/lot/?lot=6486&au=55

Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II, 1966
Chassis No.: FC87586 Engine No.: FC89396HE Registration: HSR 739E Sold £19,244 | Sold The young Italian stylist, Giovanni Michelotti, was introduced to Standard Triumph by Captain Raymond Flowers; not only because of his ability to style, but to build prototype models also. Several projects were undertaken with the most significant being the prototype bomb that morphed into the Triumph Spitfire in 1962. The Triumph Spitfire 4 Mk. II had a little more power over the earlier, retrospectively named, Mk. I Spitfire sibling; a further, but modest, 4bhp according to factory records. There was also rather more refinement in the interior fittings. With a fully opening front end, servicing was a delight and today, these British sports cars are well catered for by several specialists throughout the UK. This lovely Triumph Spitfire, first registered in the UK during 1966, is presented with white coachwork and contrasting black trim. What sets this car apart from many contemporary examples is its overall condition, especially upon the undersides that, on inspection, look factory fresh with no evidence of repairs and no doubt aided by the wax protection that has been applied. The panel gaps are very good and new bumper brightwork front and rear really sets the car off. On opening the doors, the trim work presents very well, all being in excellent order and very inviting. Mechanically, this Spitfire is in very good condition; the engine starts easily with a little choke and, we are informed, drives well. Importantly, Halogen headlights, as well as five new Firestone tyres, not only aide night driving and handling but are important safety factors also. The car comes with its factory steel hardtop, soft top and frame and a history file that contains the UK V5C registration document and, although exempt, a valid MoT test certificate. These early Mk. I and Mk. II models are quite scarce on the roads these days and, with their Italian designed flare, are considered the purest and prettiest of the range that spanned from 1962 to 1980. The mileage of 35,166 recorded is believed genuine considering the condition of the undersides, including the chassis, and a number of old MoT test certificates on file. With a competitive estimate, this Triumph Spitfire should reward its new owner with many hours of driving fun and ideal timing with the spring and summer nearly upon us. https://www.historics.co.uk/auction/lot/?lot=6016&au=47
