Lancia Fulvia Monte Carlo, 1974. Six owners, 25,806 km, service
books from new.
There are cars you know exist, but you wonder whether you will ever
encounter one in the flesh. The Lancia Fulvia Coupe, you know that
one, you have seen it. Perhaps at Goodwood during a Revival
weekend, perhaps on the Mille Miglia Storica, perhaps in a dusty
barn somewhere in Piedmont. But the Monte Carlo? That is a
different story. The Monte Carlo was the homologation special, the
Group 4 rally car in civilian dress, named after the place where
Lancia won the rally in 1972 with Sandro Munari behind the wheel.
Factory figures speak of just over 1600 examples, built between
1972 and 1975. So this is not a standard Fulvia with a sticker
pack. This is a car Lancia built because they had to win.
What made the Monte Carlo different? The 1.3 HF engine with 91 bhp,
a five-speed gearbox (by no means a given in those days), disc
brakes all round, shorter gearing, and a weight reduction that
started with the body panels and ended with the upholstery. The
result was a coupe that looked modest on paper but proved utterly
merciless on Alpine mountain roads. The Fulvia already had that
brilliant V4 engine with its narrow bank angle, that transversely
mounted front-wheel-drive layout, and a balance you would normally
only expect in mid-engine cars. Add the Monte Carlo specification
and you have a car that in 2024 still feels more relevant than many
a modern hot hatch.
