Lancia Fulvia Coupé

Overview

Why this car matters

A jewel-like small coupé that carried Lancia's reputation for engineering finesse into the 1960s and 70s. Introduced as a saloon in 1963 and joined by the shapely Coupé in 1965, the Fulvia used an unusual narrow-angle V4 driving the front wheels, with a five-speed gearbox and disc brakes all round — refined, beautifully made and rewarding to drive.

It was also the car that took Lancia back into front-line motorsport: in 1.6-litre HF form, with lightweight panels and a tuned engine, the Fulvia won the 1972 Monte Carlo Rally and the International Championship for Manufacturers.

A beautifully engineered small classic with genuine rally pedigree; standard Coupés remain an accessible entry to Lancia, while the 1.6 HF and Sport Zagato occupy a firmer, more collectible tier.
