General History

An italian sports car with Zagato coachwork, disc brakes, and twin cam engine, the Fulvia Zagato put the finishing touch on an era of superlative coachbuilt sports cars. Long regarded for their exceptional craftsmanship, innovative engineering, and cost-no-object attention to detail, prior to Fiat involvement, Lancia built elegant and refined performance cars with few rivals.

Among the last of the pre-FIAT cars, the unibody front-drive Fulvia was designed with a dual overhead cam narrow angle common cylinder head V4 engine. Dunlop disc brakes on all four corners provided stopping power, along with a host of further technical features. In 1967, Road and Track magazine described the car as "a precision motorcar, an engineering tour de force". The Fulvia was surprisingly quick for its displacement and proved to be formidable in both rally and circuit racing. The rare and special Zagato coupe bodywork, available in limited quantities, provided excellent visibility and a surprising amount of space for larger drivers. The first of the Zagato series cars were hand formed with all alloy construction with 1.2L engines. This lightweight combination and handmade quality make these earliest examples the most sought after today.

Owner History

With an unbroken chain of known ownership beginning with the original owner, Oscar nominated film editor Hugh Lloyd, this Sport Zagato was manufactured in 1966 and first registered to Llyod on plate TI3132 January 16, 1967, a resident of Turin, Italy. Per his order, the car was outfitted with UK instrumentation, and later Lloyd had Dinitrol rustproofing applied to the chassis, fitting a set of 5 FPS alloy wheels, which are still on the car today. A car enthusiast, Llyod was a member of the Automobile Club D’Italia, announced by the Roma division windows sticker still on the car today.

On February 3, 1970 Llyod imported the car to the UK, registering it on export plates EE43470, later registering it on EPE199J. In 1983 Llyod sold the car to Goodwood racer Chris Gawne who updated the engine to the more desirable 1.3L variant outfitted with Dellorto carburetors. The car changed hands a few times before it came into the collection of BaT enthusiast Alex_V who offered it for sale on BaT in February 2015 https://bringatrailer.com/list... At that time, the car showed 99,000 miles, the majority of which were accrued under Lloyd’s ownership.

Cosmetic Overview

Today, this Sport Zagato presents in very attractive condition with glossy paint applied over handsomely finished aluminum body work. The chrome and various trim are all in very good condition, particularly the exceptionally hard to find grille and chrome plated headlight bezels along with the rare plastic headlight covers. A pair of bumper mounted Carello driving lamps are also in place, likely period mounted, as earlier photos show the car with chrome caps over the bolt holes. The lenses, glass, and delicate “Fulvia Sport” script across the hood announce both the Italian heritage and design excellence, while Zagato coachwork badges confidently flank both front fenders. The desirable later series cast alloy wheels were added in period and today are in excellent shape, adding a sporting period-correct enhancement to the car, giving it great stance. Many of these cars often sit a bit high in the rear, however the stance in this example is visually satisfying, giving the car just the right amount of forward rake.

The color-contrasting interior is excellent overall, reupholstered in correct red with appropriate headliner and rear carpet treatment done in high quality materials. The low-profile bucket seats are in excellent condition with comfortable bolsters and good side support. The door panels and headliner are in very nice condition. The wood dash trim is properly finished, housing the correct instrumentation, clock, and rare radio delete plate with Fulvia script. The gauges and controls feature nice color and contrast, excellent trim, and a correct Lancia badged wood rim steering wheel. The correct ribbed and fitted rubber floor mats are similarly nice as is the rubber booted shifter. Lifting the rear hatch, the storage space area is nicely finished and properly trimmed with space for soft weekend luggage. Additionally, the rear hatch can be electronically raised and lowered via a dash switch, allowing cabin ventilation – among one of the more notable innovations of this model. The spare tire is accessed via a drop-down rear fascia body panel and contains a matching alloy wheel, spare tire hold down, jack and partial tools.

The engine compartment is accessed via early series side hinged hood tilting open to display the angled V4 engine. Both the engine and engine compartment are very nicely prepared, with proper finishes, original components, and properly sorted hardware. The engine is a correct type 303 1.3 L series engine, outfitted with desirable Dellorto carburetors. The engine compartment is correctly finished with original colors and textures including the Lancia black crinkle paint on the twin cam head, original air cleaner housing, proper hoses, and correct green spark plug wires.

The car runs and drives well, starting easily, revving freely, and shifting smoothly. The disc brakes are very effective for this period and the chassis has a nice coherent and comfortable feel that is perfectly suited for mountain roads and spirited driving. The Fulvia is known for light and communicative steering, delivering precise and responsive results – certainly one of the top characteristics of this model.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a rare, technically interesting, and entertaining classic Lancia Sport Fulvia with unique all alloy hand formed Zagato coachwork. Extraordinarily rare in the United States, Fulvias have robust US based parts and service availability and can be easily serviced by mechanically minded enthusiasts, making them ideal usable vintage sports cars with unique construction, satisfying performance, and exceptional design traits.

Included with this car

Extensive original documentation supporting the original owner purchase, import documentation, automobile club card, UK ownership from first owner, FIVA identity card, interior restoration invoice, older service invoices, a matching alloy spare tire, spare tire hold down, jack, and partial tools accompany the car.

om Lancia
Åh, Lancia, den italienska tillverkaren som dansade på gränsen till bilbriljans! Låt mig ta med dig på en resa genom den fängslande historien om Lancia, ett varumärke som personifierar passion, innovation och rallyframgång.

Akt 1: De Tidiga Åren (1906-1920-tal)
Lancia grundades 1906 av Vincenzo Lancia, en ingenjör med en fallenhet för det extraordinära. Märket fick snabbt rykte för sitt precisionsteknik och innovativa tillvägagångssätt. Lancia Alpha, introducerad 1907, var den första bilen med en snäv V4-motor och satte tonen för Lancias engagemang för teknisk excellens.

Akt 2: Innovation i Kärnan (1930-tal-1950-tal)
1930-talet såg Lancia pressa gränserna för innovation med modeller som Lambda, den första bilen med en självbärande monocoque-chassi. Aprilia, introducerad på 1930-talet, visade banbrytande aerodynamik och en V4-motor, vilket förstärkte Lancias rykte som pionjär.

Akt 3: Efterkrigstidens Elegans (1950-tal-1960-tal)
Efter andra världskriget fortsatte Lancia att imponera med modeller som Aurelia, den första serietillverkade bilen med en V6-motor. Den förenade prestanda med komfort och elegans. Flaminia följde och inkarnerade lyx och avancerad teknik.

Akt 4: Rallydominans (1970-tal-1980-tal)
Lancia etsade sitt namn i motorsporthistorien med en oöverträffad rallyarv. Lancia Stratos, ett kilformat underverk, dominerade rallyscenen på 1970-talet och säkrade tre på varandra följande Rallye-VM från 1974 till 1976. Delta Integrale, introducerad på 1980-talet, fortsatte detta rallyherravälde med flera mästerskap.

Akt 5: Utmaningar och Motståndskraft (1990-tal-2000-tal)
Det senare partiet av 1900-talet förde ekonomiska utmaningar för många biltillverkare, och Lancia var inget undantag. Trots svårigheterna introducerade Lancia modeller som Thesis och Ypsilon och visade sitt åtagande för stil och substans.

Akt 6: 2000-talets Återuppfinning (2010-tal-nutid)
På 2010-talet mötte Lancia förändrad strategi och fokuserade på Ypsilon som sitt huvudmodell. Även om produktionsvolymerna minskade behöll varumärket sitt rykte för distinkt design och komfort.

Epilog: Ett Arv av Passion och Innovation
Lancias historia är en av passion, innovation och rallyglans. Märket, med sina banbrytande designer, teknologiska framsteg och rallytriumfer, har lämnat ett outplånligt avtryck på bilvärlden. Lancia kan ha stött på utmaningar de senaste åren, men dess arv lever vidare, firat av entusiaster som känner igen magin vävd i varje Lancia-skapelse.
