The Appeal
How do you take the Lancia Fulvia - already one of the most handsome cars of its era - and add an extra essence of cool? It all fell down to the legendary coachbuilders at Zagato. Ercole Spada got to work on this sleek, light-bodied fastback, aerodynamicised and slicked back.
The second series took a few notes to standardise a little - the body is steel rather than aluminium - but it didn't change the car's character. Just look at it! It's a car that looks fast standing still, and boasts a true competition pedigree.
This 1972 car is a rare right-hand drive model that has undergone a meticulous three-year restoration after being discovered as a barn find. The comprehensive nature of the rebuild is noted by the vendor - and we agree it's a particularly handsome car.
