The Fulvia, introduced at the 1963 Geneva Auto Show, was the final model designed and launched by Lancia prior to its acquisition by Fiat in 1969. The final version of the Fulvia was the Sport model, which was designed by Ercole Spada(also the designer of the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato) and built by Zagato for Lancia. The Fulvia engines utilise a unique narrow angle V-4 design that uses a single cylinder head that incorporates dual overhead camshafts.
The Fulvia Sport coupés were popular in European endurance racing and enjoyed numerous wins on the continent. The Zagato-built Sport coupé achieved first in its class at the 1968, 1969 and 1971 Targa Florio, a second place in its class finish at the 1969 12 Hours of Sebring and first in its class at the 1969 24 Hours at Daytona.
The definitive second series model with body panels welded to monocoque, wings are larger, bonnetlid is hinged in the front part and not anymore on right side, spare wheel housing lid is missing. Radiator grid and headlams surrroundings are in Peraluman . Chromed bumpers with a rubber border. Subframe shared with 818.612 saloon . Late cars may have head rest and optionally electric windows.
From this chassis 818.650 2th series around 2.000 were build. It is a fine example of a Lancia Fulvia 1300 Zagato with a beautifully restored bodywork and interior. The car was first registered in the Netherlands on 14th August 1971. The Fulvia Zagato is rebuild as a tribute to the Competizione models. The Fulvia got Daytona (winning prototype 1968) headlamps, 4 high-beam headlamps, wing extensions, special alloy fuel tank, sport suspension and nice 14 inch Campagnolo wheels. The bumpers are removed. Under the hood Weber carburettors replacing the standard Solex. The body is painted in Sky Blue like the Jolly Club cars from the Targa Florio. The interior is equipped with a sport steering wheel, lower mounted seats and finished in beautiful black leather with orange stitching which is reflected in the striping. Out of sight in the glovebox a modern radio/CD-player is mounted. This Fulvia is equipped with electric windows. The car still has the original Dutch registration document.
