The seller offers for sale this 1975 Lancia Fulvia 1300 Rally S Coupé, a stylish and lightweight two-door car that represents the final years of one of Italy’s most celebrated rally-bred road models. Finished in a deep blue and featuring a four-speed manual transmission paired to a 1.3L V4 engine, this Fulvia offers a pure and engaging driving experience.
The car has recently undergone a service which included an overhaul of the braking system, a maintenance round with fresh fluids, filters, spark plug wires, and an engine diagnostic. The seller has fitted four vintage Marshall fog lights, replaced the exterior mirrors with chrome vintage-style units, and updated the interior with a Nardi steering wheel, matching gear knob, and branded floor mats.
Cosmetically, the vehicle is in good condition, though there are some small imperfections in the paintwork. The original bumpers have been removed for a sportier appearance but will be included with the sale. Inside, the cabin maintains a classic feel, enhanced by the recent Nardi accessories. The interior is tidy, with minor wear as expected for a 50-year-old vehicle. The dashboard does have a few small cracks.
The Lancia Fulvia Coupé debuted in 1965 as a follow-up to the Fulvia Berlina. With its elegant design by Pietro Castagnero and technical innovations such as a narrow-angle V4 engine and front-wheel-drive layout, the Fulvia stood out from its contemporaries. Lightweight and balanced, the Coupé quickly gained a reputation for nimble handling, helping Lancia secure numerous victories in rallying, including the 1972 International Championship for Manufacturers—an early precursor to the WRC.
The 1300 Rally S version represents a sweet spot in the Fulvia range, offering more performance than the earlier 1.2L variants while maintaining the model’s celebrated balance and character. These cars were praised for their precise steering, mechanical feel, and refined ride quality. Enthusiasts often compare its sharp response to far more modern machinery.
As Fulvias age, well-maintained examples like this one become increasingly desirable, especially those with tasteful period upgrades and documented recent service. Whether for occasional drives, shows, or spirited touring, this Fulvia presents an opportunity to enjoy one of Italy’s finest compact coupés from the golden era of analog driving.
