Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Formerly owned by Briggs Cunningham and spent time on display in his museum. With the current owner since 2008. Good but older paint and chrome. Two blemishes on the driver’s door. Some scratches above the marker lights. Mild cracking at the top left corner of the windshield gasket. Severe cracking in the Perspex right rear quarter window. Mild age to the wood dash, mild pitting on the steering wheel and a cracked Lancia badge in its center, but the upholstery is holding up quite well. An older restoration of a high-spec rally-ready Lancia.
Market commentary
A clever but unconventional little car with its narrow-angle V-4 engine and front-wheel drive, the Fulvia was available as a sedan or coupe with in-house styling or as a fastback designed by Zagato. It's the model that marked Lancia's shift in focus to international rallying, and it was a successful endeavor. Lancia won the International Championship for Manufacturers (the precursor to the World Rally Championship) in 1972. This one, with its HF Rallye-spec engine and aged but solid condition, would make a rewarding ride in vintage rallies and driving events, and the price paid here is a perfect balance between its equipment and its condition.
