Highlights
- Rare and eminently desirable right-hand drive Fulvia HF
- Fully restored bodyshell repaired using new old stock panels where possible
- Supplied with two exceedingly sought-after 1600cc V4 engines including the original that is in need of a rebuild
The Appeal
Closely resembling Sando Munari’s Monte Carlo Rally winning car of the same year, this 1972 right-hand drive Fulvia HF is a very special thing indeed. The bodyshell has been restored to an exceedingly high standard using new old stock panels sourced from Italy where possible and has since been repainted in its original red, evoking those competition cars we adore.
Supplied with not one but two of the exceedingly rare 1600cc Lancia V4 engines, we’re informed that this Fulvia is almost entirely complete and the next owner has almost everything they need to get this fabulous car back on the road.
If you’ve always hankered after one of these rally-bred HF Fulvias, this is a particularly appealing project as the shell is finished and ready to go.
The History and Paperwork
- Not much is known of this car’s early history as the vendor purchased it as a restoration project
- Original right-hand drive car that’s been in the UK from new
- It was entirely complete when the vendor acquired it and original components have been saved wherever possible
- The engine that’s currently in the car turns over freely and was reportedly running last year
- We’re informed the second engine supplied with the car is the matching numbers original that requires rebuilding
- Extensive restoration carried out to the bodywork over the past year by a fabricator in Somerset and the paint was applied by a specialist in Weymouth
- Invoices for all the NOS panels and those sourced from the UK
- V5C present
- Period instruction booklet
- Comprehensive record of the restoration work including photographs
- We’re informed almost £20,000 has been spent restoring the bodyhell
- The 818741 chassis number matches the one on the V5, proving this to be an original HF
The Interior
- Was complete prior to restoration
- Most of the trim is out of the car at present
As this Lancia’s shell has only recently been completed, the interior is yet to be properly fitted although we’re informed that it is more or less complete and in good condition.
The rear seat, front passenger seat, instruments, and steering wheel (which remains wrapped) are now back in the car. We also observed some sound proofing and part of the carpet set have been installed. The remainder is in boxes and looks to be in really good shape.
The seats are very smart with minimal wear and no damage we could see. The dash fascia too is in one piece and presents really well with a little patina around the edges. All of the trim panels have been carefully labelled and, with a bit of cleaning up, should be serviceable. The same goes for the dashboard which has been disassembled and labelled up.
Some of the mat set shows its age but may be repairable or else a good pattern for new items. The wiring loom too has been boxed up and may well be reusable.
So far as we could see, more or less everything is there and in great shape, so the next owner just needs to assemble the jigsaw puzzle inside that freshly painted shell.
The Exterior
- Repainted to a great standard in its original red
- No rust or damage anywhere in sight
- Restored using new old stock panels where possible which include aluminium bonnet, doors and bootlid
As the photographic record of the restoration details, the car was stripped right back to a bare shell before some extensive fabrication was carried out by a specialist in Somerset. Large sections of bodywork were replaced with new steel. The vendor sourced any available new old stock panels from Italy and the remainder – which made up the wheel arches and light bezels – came from the UK.
The Lancia then made its way to Weymouth where it was reverted to its original colour. These Fulvias look fabulous in red and the fact it resembles the winning car from the 1972 Monte Carlo rally is really nice.
We couldn’t see any imperfections in the paint and the bodywork looks excellent with crisp swage lines and no corrosion anywhere to be seen. The vendor points out the aluminium bonnet, doors and boot lid which have all been refinished to a great standard. Some of the chrome, such as the door handles, is a little pitted but all the trim appears to be present and in reasonable, unrestored condition including the bumpers.
It sits upon its period correct alloy wheels which have survived well and, with a little refurbishment, will look great. The tyres are serviceable for moving the shell around but are no longer any good for road use. The glass presents really well too and is back in the car.
We can’t wait to see how this car looks when it’s finished. The standard of the work that has been completed thus far is truly exemplary and is testament to the vendor’s exacting standards. With these excellent foundations, this promises to be an incredible example.
The Mechanics
- Supplied with two 1600cc V4 engines
- Refurbished brake callipers
- New clutch and engine mounts installed
- Rolls freely
What’s great about this example is how it still has its original, numbers matching 1600cc V4 engine. If this wasn’t enough, the engine that’s currently installed is yet another of these rare engines. The vendor informs us that the car ran about a year ago but has not been tested since. The engine turns freely so we see no reason why it couldn’t be coaxed back into life with a little persuasion.
The original engine has some slight damage to one of the pistons so requires a rebuild. The vendor reports that little else appears to be wrong with it and it’s certainly worth getting this car reunited with its original powerplant.
The brake callipers have been refurbished with new pistons and a new clutch has also been installed along with new engine mounts. The vendor informs us that every part removed from the car has been kept. The only things missing are the radiator as the original was broken, the grille which was also damaged, the fuel tank and finally the exhaust, bar the manifold.
Summary
It isn’t often that you get the chance to acquire a right-hand drive Fulvia HF with a freshly restored body shell. These are exceedingly desirable cars and this almost complete project has tons of potential as well as two of those very rare engines.
The quality of the restoration work has been incredible, and the fact the vendor started with a complete car means the next owner won’t be spending all their time sourcing hard-to-find parts. If, like us, you’ve always dreamed of owning one of these exquisite Lancias, don’t miss this opportunity.

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
