The Fulvia saloon's introduction in 1963 maintained Lancia's reputation for innovation in automobile design. The box-like Appia replacement featured an all-new, narrow-angle, overhead-camshaft V4 engine; front-wheel drive; independent front suspension by double wishbones; and disc brakes all round. A 2+2 coupé on a shorter wheelbase followed in 1965. Though mechanically similar, the beautiful newcomer had all the visual presence its progenitor lacked and came with a 1,216cc engine producing 80bhp. In 1967 the model was up-rated with the 1,298cc, 85bhp engine. Introduced in 1970, Series 2 models were mildly restyled and gained a five-speed gearbox and uprated Girling disc brakes while retaining the 1,298cc engine.

Sold new in Italy, this Fulvia remained with its original Italian owner from 1973 to 2018 when it was imported into the UK, and has had only one owner in this country. The car was first restored in Italy in 2012 when works carried out included a complete respray and an interior re-trim together with new wheels, tyres, brake callipers, discs/pads, master cylinder, handbrake cable, water pump, fuel pump, sender unit, and steering box. The 2022 restoration included a new electric fuel pump and pressure regulator, reconditioned fuel tank, rebuilt carburettors, new electronic ignition and HT leads, cooling system overhauled, adjustable thermostatic cooling fan fitted, new chrome doorhandles, door mirrors and bonnet vent grille. The car comes complete with its original handbook, tool kit, jack, spare wheel cover, and workshop manual plus the following new spares: roof lining, clutch, front wheel bearing, half-shaft input seal, and heater control valve. Offered by its second owner from new this little Fulvia has covered a mere 47,000km in this time, this wonderful example is ready for further adventures.
