The seller offers for sale this 1971 Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.3 S, powered by a 1.3-litre V4 engine, paired with a manual transmission. This example is presented in the 1.3 S specification, the sportier variant of the Fulvia Coupé, and is described by the seller as a well-kept and reliable example of the model. Given its age, cars of this type and condition have become increasingly hard to find, and the seller notes that further information will be provided to seriously interested buyers.

The Fulvia was introduced by Lancia in 1963 as a compact front-wheel-drive model, and the elegant Coupé followed in 1965, penned in-house under Piero Castagnero. With its narrow-angle V4 engine mounted ahead of the front axle, front-wheel drive and finely balanced chassis, the Fulvia Coupé quickly earned a reputation as one of the most sophisticated small coupés of its era. The model also built an impressive competition record, with the Fulvia HF variants carrying Lancia to the International Championship for Manufacturers in 1972, cementing the Fulvia’s place in rally history.

The 1.3 S version combines the Fulvia’s trademark precise steering and eager handling with a rev-happy V4 that delivers a genuinely engaging driving experience. Cars built in this period are often regarded by enthusiasts as the last of the true Lancia-engineered models, developed before the full integration into the Fiat group changed the company’s direction. Its timeless styling, compact proportions and motorsport pedigree make the Fulvia Coupé a firm favourite among collectors of Italian classics, and this 1971 example represents an appealing opportunity to acquire one of the most charming coupés of its generation.
