Designed by Lancia stylist Piero Castagnero Here's a little Italian
change of pace... MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present
another unique Italian Job, a 1973 Lancia Fulvia Rallye Coup� 1.3
S. This is a true classic European collector's find! The former
owner drove the car since 2000. Finished in stunning silver
metallic, the paint job shows extremely well with only minor
imperfections visible upon close inspection. Virtually unknown in
the U.S., the Italian brand Lancia has been building cars for over
100 years. Often on the engineering vanguard, the brand is credited
with a number of automotive firsts. This example is a Coup� 1.3
S(Tipo 818.630/631) Series II, which brought a face-lifted body and
new five-speed manual gearbox with a 1298cc (818.303) V-4 engine
with dual-carburetors producing 90horsepower at 6000rpm. Larger
Girling calipers and pads with four-wheel disc brakes replaced the
Dunlop system fitted to Series I cars. With its low beltline and
generous greenhouse, the Lancia Fulvia will delight even the most
discerning Italian car collector or enthusiast. The windshield and
other vehicle glass sections are clear, intact and in overall good
shape. All exterior lights are present, intact and clear. The front
bumper shows some minor blemishes but overall, the bumpers are in
good shape, as are the rest of the metal trim pieces. The car's
body panels are straight. The engine bay and battery are clean. The
trunk has more cargo volume than one might expect, thanks to the
car's front-drive layout. Car rolls on Michelin X1 175/65R14 tires
with factory steel eight-slot wheels. Inside, the correct dark blue
velour seats all look excellent, with no major signs of wear
visible. The seats were reupholstered by the same manufacturer
Lancia used in the 1970s and these seats came in cloth only on the
Rallye versions. The carpet is intact, the headliner is in very
good shape, as is the instrument panel with its woodgrain insert.
The interior and exterior mirrors are each in one piece and the
door panels, wood-rimmed steering wheel and shifter are all in good
shape. This car is a radio delete model. TheLancia Fulvia(Tipo 818)
was anItaliancarintroduced at theGeneva Motor Showin 1963and
produced until 1976. Fulvias are notable for their role in
motorsport history, including winning theInternational Rally
Championshipin 1972.After testing it in 1967,Road & Tracksummed up
the Fulvia as "a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force."
It is named after Via Fulvia,the Roman roadleading from Tortona to
Torino. When leaving the factory, all but a few of the Coup�s
originally fittedPirelli Cinturato165HR14 tires. The Coup�s were
the last Fulvia model to be discontinued, ceasing production in
1977. The Fulvia Berlina replaced theLancia Appia,with which it
shared almost no components. The Appia usedrear-wheel drive, while
the Fulvia moved tofront-wheel drivelike the Flavia. The general
engineering design of the Fulvia was identical to that of the
Flavia with the major exception of the engine; the Flavia had a
four-cylinder horizontally opposed engine while the Fulvia had a
'narrow angle' vee configuration as featured on most production
Lancias since theLambda. The Fulvia used a longitudinal engine
mounted in front of itstransaxle. Anindependent suspensionin front
usedwishbonesand a singleleaf spring, while abeam axlewith apanhard
rodand leaf springs was used in back. Competition to this Lancia in
1973 included Alfa Romeo's GT 1300 Junior, BMW's 1600 Touring,
Ford's Capri 1600 GT, MG's MBG GT and Opel's Manta. CLICK HERE TO
