The Appeal
Throughout the twentieth century, Lancia was a byword for automotive innovation. Even their seemingly conventional cars were anything but underneath and the Fulvia is no exception. A narrow angle V4 engine powers the front wheels of every car in the Fulvia lineup. Available in Berlina (saloon) form, Zagato bodied fastback and as a 2-door coupé such as this, the Fulvia proved immensely successful both on the road and the rally stage.
Since acquiring this rather handsome 1969 Rallye 1.3 S in 2007, the vendor has used the car on a number of regularity rallies where it has performed admirably. Subject to a sympathetic restoration some years ago, it remains a very presentable yet usable car that we’re sure will be enjoyed for years to come.
The History and Paperwork
- Acquired by the vendor in 2007
- Imported from Italy
- FIVA Identity Card present
- Previously restored
- Kept indoors throughout the vendor’s ownership
- Used once or twice a month on average
- Has taken part in a number of regularity rallies
- The vendor informs us that the odometer displayed around 53,000 kilometres when they purchased the car and it now reads 82,400
The Interior
- Minimal wear evident to the tan upholstery
- Slight patination to the wooden dashboard fascia
- Very original, with no late additions we could see
As something Italian car makers so often get absolutely right, this Lancia’s interior celebrates the elegance of simplicity. All the controls you interact with as a driver feel well made and carefully thought out and unless you’re a non-smoker, there is absolutely nothing you don’t need.
The basic wooden dashboard adds a touch of class but is in no way overbearing and the same goes for the beautiful two-spoked wood-rimmed steering wheel. The original rubber mats line the floors and the upholstery is made from similarly hard-wearing vinyl.
The seats remain clean, undamaged and very supple as do the matching original door cards. The vendor informs us that everything works exactly as it should with the exception of the clock. We could see some gentle patination appearing in places such as to the aforementioned dashboard fascia but we think this adds to the character of the car.
The Exterior
- Smart blue paintwork
- Very good, solid bodywork
- Tyres replaced two years (c.2000 kilometres) ago
Having been restored some years ago and stored in a garage ever since, the blue paintwork is in really good condition with few imperfections. The vendor points out a few small marks including a small scratch behind the nearside door but otherwise the paint presents well and holds a good shine. The brightwork also displays some light patination, most notably to the door handles caused by years of use.
Like many Italian cars of this vintage, Fulvia’s are prone to corrosion but having been kept dry and looked after very carefully, this example appears to be exceedingly solid and we couldn’t see any rust issues. As the vendor remarks, this car is made especially usable by the fact that it is fundamentally sound yet cosmetically not too perfect and so can enjoyed on a regular basis.
The steel wheels present really well, as do the chrome hubcaps and the vendor informs us that the tyres are in very good condition.
The Mechanics
- 1.3-litre V4 engine
- Four-speed manual gearbox
- Smart engine compartment
- Retains its model-specific oil cooler and brake servo
With its pioneering narrow angle DOHC V4 that uses a single cylinder head and a transaxle powering the front wheels, the Fulvia’s drivetrain is anything but ordinary for its day and was highly effective both in terms of increasing interior space and handling. Fulvia’s proved very successful in rallying with great traction afforded by the unconventional front-wheel drive system.
This ‘S’ model Series 1 features the uprated 91 horsepower V4 and while that doesn’t sound like a lot today, we must remember that the Fulvia weighed in at under a ton. With a four-speed manual gearbox that you interact with constantly to get the best out of it, these Lancias make for a really engaging driving experience.
Under the bonnet, this example presents well and features a pair of Dell’Orto carburettors. The vendor informs us that it always starts well as the battery is regularly conditioned and once up to temperature the Lancia performs really well.
Summary
We’re huge fans of the Lancia Fulvia Coupé and Series 1 cars such as this 1969 example are real gems. With engineering unlike anything else before or since, the Fulvia fits perfectly into any car collection, regardless of what you already have.
If you’re looking for one of these fabulous little cars, this would be a great one to consider.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da 0 € a 9.999 € | 100,00 € |
| Da 10.000 € a 49.999 € | 250,00 € |
| Da 50.000 € a 99.999 € | 500,00 € |
| 100.000 € + | 1.000,00 € |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
