A Rare Gem Awaiting its Next Chapter: 1968 Lancia Fulvia 1. 3 Rallye (Series 1) - Italian Import
For the true Lancia aficionado, this is a heart-wrenching but exciting opportunity. I am offering my achingly pretty 1968 Lancia Fulvia 1. 3 Rallye, a very special early Series 1 model, directly imported (by previous owner) from its homeland, Italy.
As a lifelong Lancia enthusiast, the decision to sell has been a difficult one, driven purely by a change in life's priorities and a lack of time to give this Italian thoroughbred the final touches it deserves. Having purchased the car in November 2023 for £23, 000, I drove it home, and it has since been kept in dry storage.
Good Series 1 Fulvia Coupés, especially the desirable 1. 3 Rallye, are increasingly few and far between. This particular car stands out for its uncommonly good bodily condition and a truly beautiful and well-preserved interior – a testament to its Italian heritage and careful ownership over the years.
This Fulvia presents a straightforward opportunity for an enthusiast to get a stunning classic on the road with minimal work:
Radiator Repair: The primary task is a repair to the radiator where the brazing has cracked around the neck. This is a common and manageable issue for classic car specialists.
New Tyres: A new set of tyres will be required, as the current ones are old and showing signs of cracking.
Beyond these specific points, the car is in remarkably solid shape. The engine and other mechanical components were performing as they should when I drove it home.
This is not a project car needing extensive restoration, but rather a cherished classic that requires a couple of specific, easily addressed items to be fully road-ready and enjoyed.
I am keen for this exceptional Fulvia to go to a good home, to someone who appreciates its rarity, charm, and the unique driving experience only a classic Lancia can offer. For this reason, I am offering the car at a compelling price that thoughtfully accounts for the remedial work needed. This is a chance to acquire a highly sought-after model with its most significant attributes – its structural integrity and beautiful presentation – already in excellent order.
Serious enquiries from genuine enthusiasts are warmly welcomed. If you are looking for an iconic Italian classic that combines elegance, sporting pedigree, and is just a couple of small steps away from gracing the roads again, this Lancia Fulvia 1. 3 Rallye is a must-see.
