The Appeal

The Lancia Fulvia is an icon of European motorsport, with the Rallye S Series 2 being perhaps the last hurrah of the legendary Fulvia shape. Designed in 1965 by Piero Castagnero, the Fulvia Coupe’s shape was inspired by the 60s era of Riva motorboats. As a result, it’s an utterly timeless-looking motor that oozes style and elegance as much as it does agility and power.

Now, they’ve developed an impressive enthusiast market, with its impressive handling and speedy motor providing a whole new layer of fun to classic car ownership. This particular example is a real star attraction, with its distinctive interior and winning traits all on full display. Practically irresistible.
