The Appeal
Whether your interests lie in the aesthetics or more towards the dynamics, the Fulvia surely ranks as one of the greatest Italian sports cars every built. The ‘S’ added extra performance while the Rallye pack endowed the car with some of the style of its gravel-scrabbling sibling.
This 1970 car is a 1.3S with the Rallye pack. It also features an oil cooler, which was only fitted to the Fulvia for one year. Finished in Lancia Blue with a gorgeous tan ‘Dattero’ leather interior. Both are in great condition, making this car suitable for high end events or equally elevated collections.
We’re told that the car is fitted with a fully rebuilt engine and that it runs and drives very well. Well specified and in great order, this is a fabulous little car.
