Highlights
Right-hand drive car imported from South Africa in 2015
Benefits from a great deal of servicing work since its arrival in the UK
Rally-inspired livery: de-bumpered with a black bonnet and spot lamps
The Appeal
Following Lancia’s departure from Formula One in 1955, it was the Fulva that would eventually get the company back into motorsport and, by the md ‘60s, Lancia were winning rallies all over the globe. With an unusual V4 engine driving the front wheels, the little Fulvia proved immensely capable on loose surfaces and, in spite of their diminutive size and power output, they are utterly fabulous to drive.
We’re excited to offer this 1973 right-hand drive South African import which has been assigned a rally-inspired appearance. It looks to be a solid and usable example that’s not too pristine to enjoy in the manner Lancia intended. The vendor shows us that this car benefits from a great deal of mechanical maintenance since arriving in the UK, with the aid of renowned specialists including Omicron Engineering Ltd.
These Fulvias are amongst our favourite small coupés of the era, with great styling, competition pedigree and plenty for the driving enthusiast to get their teeth into. Be sure not to miss this very presentable example.
Imported to the UK in 2015 and assigned an age appropriate registration
The previous owner spent a great deal of time and money improving and maintaining the car mechanically since acquiring it in 2017, which is evidenced by the numerous invoices present
Acquired by the present owner in 2022
V5C present
Exempt from road tax and MOT testing
A history file accompanies the car, curating various invoices and registration documents
Copy of the an original Series 2 Fulvia operation manual
Red paintwork with a black bonnet, rear panel and front wing tops - inspired by rally Fulvias of the period
Debumpered, although bumpers are apparently included with the car along with the bonnet vent grille
Additional Cibi-Oscar style spot lamps fitted to the grille on a bespoke light bar
Equipped with a Skylark sunroof, the vendor comments that it looks to have been fitted to a good standard and could be replaced with Britax or Webasto folding, vinyl-type roofs if the next owner wishes
The chrome trims are all present and correct, with a few signs of age including the odd small dent
The glass all appears in nice shape and we note the period ‘Lancia Club SA sticker’
The vendor points out a stone chip in front of the rear view mirror and thus not really visible inside
The paintwork presents well overall, with some imperfections in places
Evidently, the rear valance has received some attention and it shows sign of some light age related damage
The vendor points out a gouge in the paintwork along the rear of the boot gutter which isn't visible when the boot is closed
Underneath, the chassis rails and subframes appear sound, with just a little surface rust in places
The vendor comments that it is very solid, with no structural issues evident
Period correct Lancia wheels exhibiting an attractive patina
Aftermarket front indicators - owing to the lack of front bumper
Overall, a bright and tidy example that’s not too pristine to enjoy
A Lancia Fulvia should be on every petrolhead’s wishlist – and this would be a great car to scratch that itch.
With a history of good servicing in recent years, undeniably cool rally-inspired appointments and the fact that this is a factory right-hand drive car, all make this an example you should definitely consider.

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
C&C 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.

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
