The Appeal
Much like Issigonis' Mini, the Lancia Fulvia excelled on the international rally stage. Front-wheel-drive gave both these little cars excellent traction on loose surfaces, and for Lancia, the Fulvia WRC-winning exploits signalled the start of a seriously successful competition career which would span well into the 1980s.
Today, the Fulvia market has gone from strength to strength, partly thanks to a resurgent interest in all things vintage rallying but also because these are wonderful cars to drive. An excellent accompaniment or antidote to a rear-wheel-drive Alfa coupé of the same period, a Fulvia is a must-have for collectors who like to put miles on their cars.
This Series 3 1300S is commendably original thanks to a life spent in Italy's sunnier climes. It was acquired by the vendor in 2003 from its original Italian keeper and remained at their Sardinia holiday home until it was sold in March 2023. Now imported to the UK with all taxes paid, the Fulvia has a UK road registration and benefits from historic road tax and MOT status. As the vendor is a former classic car restoration workshop owner, specialising in '60s and '70s Italian cars, they've given this Lancia a high level of care - and it has clearly paid dividends.
If you fancy becoming this car's third registered keeper - this is an unmissable opportunity.Lancia Fulvia-21.jpg14.51 MB
