The private seller offers for sale this 1976 Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.3 S, powered by a 1.3-litre V4 engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller is only the second owner of this Fulvia, which has clearly received care and attention throughout its life. It is finished in dark blue, combined with a red interior, a classic Italian colour scheme that underlines the refined, understated elegance of the Fulvia Coupé.

The car is presented in original condition, with a body and underside that show no significant rust, according to the seller. The cabin features the typical Fulvia wooden dashboard with its array of round instruments, a slim sports steering wheel and red seats front and rear. The car sits on the characteristic Fulvia alloy wheels, and the photographs show the tidy engine bay, the boot with its spare wheel and details of the underside.

The Fulvia Coupé was introduced in 1965 and quickly became one of the most admired small sports coupés of its time. Its engineering was typically Lancia: a narrow-angle V4 engine mounted longitudinally ahead of the front axle, driving the front wheels, with disc brakes all round. The Fulvia also enjoyed a remarkable competition career, winning the International Championship for Manufacturers in rally in 1972 and taking victory in the Monte Carlo Rally the same year. The 1.3 S of the third series, built until 1976, represents the final evolution of the Coupé, with a five-speed gearbox as standard.

With its clean, glassy lines, compact dimensions and eager V4 engine, the Fulvia Coupé offers a driving experience that is both lively and refined. It is a car for the true enthusiast, where originality and authenticity come first. Original examples like this one are becoming increasingly hard to find, making this second-owner Fulvia an attractive opportunity.
