Lancia Fulvia (1963–1976)

The Lancia Fulvia was produced from 1963 to 1976 and represents one of the finest driving cars of its era. The narrow-angle V4 engine, mounted ahead of the front axle with front-wheel drive, provided exceptional balance and handling. The Fulvia HF Coupe in 1.3 and 1.6 form achieved legendary status through its success in international rallying, winning the International Rally Championship in 1972. The road cars are charming and precise, with the twin-Weber carburetted engines providing willing performance. The Fulvia is available as a four-door saloon, the desirable Coupe and the rare Sport Spider designed by Zagato. All variants suffer from rust — finding a solid example requires thorough inspection.

Available body styles: Saloon, Coupe, Sport Spider. Produced from 1963 to 1976.
