Smart fully working examp[e of gte version of first series fulvia saloon produced from 1963 to 1969. now very rare in rhd. The gte ran in parallel with the final "rallye s" version of the first series fulvia coupe, sharing its more powerfull 1300cc engine, servo assisted brakes ( discs all round) and with minor changes to interior and exterior trim details from the previous version.
the car was originally supplied in switzerland (hence odometer and speedo are in km) to a customer who specified rhd. The car had two subsequent owners in switzerland before being purchased and uk registered by a previous owner in 2013, this owner subsequently took the car to italy. Purchased in italy by a well knowne irish fulvia enthusiast in 2020 who is an lmc member for a touring holiday in italy from may to july 2022 completing over 5000 km with out any issues, shows proven reliability.

the car is ready to use,
their is two sets of original keys, and reproduction copy of owners handbook in english, together with papers evidencing cars history as described above, still has original battery cover and spare wheel cover see photos.
work carried out in switzerland pror to 2013 included repairs to cills, and i have recently had some refinishing of lower body paintwork, overall the car presents well, but bear in mind this is not a concourse car and much of which is original.
the interior is in excellent condition, front seats have been re-padded and upholstered, and their are two 1inch tears in the headcloth above the doors, apart from that the interior is in lovely condition, every thing works apart from an intermitten heater blower.
the indicated odometer reading is 23500km or 15000miles and is assumed second time round so 123500km or 77000miles which is consistent with condition and history. the lancia drives very well, and with the work carried out by previous owner to the suspension etc rides and stears as it should, has proven realiability, and with the floor change gearbox adds to the overall experience.
