The Attraction:
All Fulvias are special — but some are more special than others.
At first glance, this 1971 Fulvia Coupé could be mistaken for a standard example. Look closer, however, and the elephant badges and “1600 HF” script reveal something far more significant: a genuine Series II 1600 HF Lusso, the discreet road-going sibling of Lancia’s legendary rally weapon.
The HF Lusso is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing, combining the full mechanical specification of the homologation rally car with the bumpers, trim, and comfort of the standard Coupé. With only 3, 690 examples built, surviving original cars are now exceptionally rare, many having been converted into competition cars over the years.
This particular car was imported from southern Italy in late 2021, where it had had just two owners from new. Since arrival, it has been garaged at all times and has benefited from extensive professional attention by Tanc Barratt and Omicron, followed by a full inspection and service at our workshop in preparation for sale.
Presented in beautifully preserved and highly original condition, this HF Lusso represents a truly special opportunity for the discerning Lancia enthusiast.
