The charm

The Lancia Fulvia Zagato has perhaps been Lancia and the famed Zagato coachbuilder’s most successful collaboration. This 1969 1.3 specimen is particularly special, coming from the early series in which only around 800 examples featured Peralluman lightweight aluminum for the hood and doors. This rare specification, paired with Zagato’s iconic styling, makes it a highly coveted collector’s piece.

This 1969 example comes from a decade of ownership by the current caretaker, who has kept it meticulously. The vehicle retains its original Italian registration documents and plates, contributing to its provenance and authenticity. Having undergone a light repaint ten years ago and regular mechanical maintenance, this Fulvia Zagato is a beautifully preserved piece of Lancia’s sporting heritage.
