Always industry leaders in design and innovation, Lancia's Fulvia 1.3 'Sport', with front wheel drive and a narrow angle 1.3 liter V4 engine, was no exception. Easy to control with the front wheel drive and capable of 110 mph, Lancia campaigned the Fulvia Sport in international rally and circuit events throughout Europe with great success. The highlight of the Fulvia's racing career came in 1972 when a Fulvia Rallye 1.6 HF won the International Championship for Manufacturers rally series.

In total, six different body styles were mounted to the Fulvia chassis. The Zagato bodied coupes are generally regarded as the most aesthetically pleasing of all the variations.

This Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato 1.3 chassis #818.650.001248 is one of approximately 600 early series 2 examples that included features from both the Series 1 and Series 2 Zagato bodied Fulvia Sport models. Sometimes referred to as a Series '1.5', these cars were built on a Series 1 body/frame with aluminum doors, side opening hood, and trunk lid, but has the dogleg 5-speed transmission and interior features of Series 2 cars.

This example is a strong driver on the road. Engine #818.303.54380 is consistent with cars produced in 1970 and is believed to be original to the car. The 1.3 liter V4 is in great running condition with a recent tune-up and major service performed. It is running on 3 year old BF Goodrich 95/60R14 tires wrapped around a rare set of newly powder coated Campagnolo Ragno alloy wheels that look fantastic.

The interior is in very good condition: the seats, door panels, and headliner were reupholstered in the last few years, and new wool carpets and leather wrapped dash were both fitted just a few months ago. The original plastic wood-grained steering wheel was sent to Gary's Vintage Steering Wheel restoration shop and was completely rebuilt and looks like new.

The car was repainted the same black just a few months ago and new rubber and weather stripping was fitted when all the glass was removed. All gauges, clock, signals, and lights are working properly. The original radio is present, but not hooked up.
