This is the most original S1 Fulvia on the market today, wonderful to drive and superbly quiet and sophisticated on the move.
The Fulvia coupe first appeared in 1965 with a shorter and 100kg lighter chassis. Designed by Pietro Castagnero with a concave rear panel and rear window, and unique to Series 1 cars, a very wide V-shape to the front bumper and grill, with a high roof, it had a very distinctive look.
The 1216cc V4 single block engine produced a 80 bhp @ 6000 rpm and 77 lb/ ft @ 4000rpm.
Those that understand these cars in depth, know that the first series Fulvia is a jewel of a car, benefiting from the very best of Lancia’s high quality engineering practices.
