There’s only one place in the world where you’ll find a right-hand-drive Lancia Fulvia 1.3S with the prettier ‘low light’ frontal styling seen on LHD models, and that’s South Africa.
UK models came with the higher front lights as also seen on US-spec models, which gave the front an unbalanced appearance, but South African cars were supplied as CKD kits by Lancia and assembled on the Italian company’s behalf by Daihatsu Motors ZA, whose name appears on the car’s assembly plate. Daihatsu had contract manufacturing agreements for a number of car makers in South Africa, including all Lancia models sold there. With no need for mass production, they could share the European styling.
Fulvia Coupés were advanced cars for their day - four-wheel disc brakes and sleek styling, agonisingly pretty and wonderfully agile, with a curious 1.3-litre V4 engine.
This one has just landed from South Africa having been restored there. It’s a late 1972 model according to the VIN plate and is ready to be registered, used and enjoyed.
This is a fantastic, restored example of a very rare car – made even rare by virtue of it being an RHD ‘low light’ model assembled in South Africa - and one that’s a guaranteed safe investment for the future. It’s a charming car, huge fun to drive, amazing to look at and one that promises to be hugely rewarding to own. The registration process is straightforward and simple, after which you’ll have one of the best Fulvias in the UK.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
