1967 Lancia

This Fulvia presents as a remarkably well-preserved early example, its elegant coupe body finished in Lancia Saratoga White paintwork that retains a deep, consistent gloss. The car's compact proportions are enhanced by the clean, straight body lines which flow effortlessly from the sharply styled front end to the short, purposeful rear. The panel fit and alignment remain very good throughout, with the kind of straight lines and consistency that can only come from a car that has clearly been cherished throughout its life. All chrome fittings including the bumpers, delicate window surrounds, door handles and period-correct badging present bright and free from tarnish, catching the light just as they did when the car left the factory. Rubber seals around the glazing, lights and trim remain supple and well-fitting, Open the door and you are greeted by a wonderfully period-correct yet beautifully preserved interior that speaks volumes about the care this Fulvia has enjoyed throughout its life. The seats finished in unmarked dark blue cloth remain in superb order both front and rear, with excellent support and no visible signs of wear, sagging, or fading. Matching dark blue carpets front and rear present in the very best of condition, their colour still deep and unfaded, clearly benefiting from years of careful ownership and light use. The wood-trimmed steering wheel and dashboard fascia add a touch of understated Italian elegance, both in fine condition. Manually operated windows work exactly as intended, while push-out rear quarter lights provide additional ventilation a charming detail of the period. The dashboard houses a set of clear, fully operational Veglia Borletti dials, including the speedometer which currently displays 49,595 km, flanked by a analogue dashboard clock. Original switchgear remains in place and functional, and even the Voxson Junior radio remains fitted, a rare survival that adds greatly to the car's authentic cabin atmosphere. Beneath the elegant bonnet lies Lancia's 1.2-litre narrow-angle V4 petrol engine, a configuration that was at the time both innovative and compact, designed to allow a low bonnet line and precise weight distribution Firing eagerly at the turn of the key, the 1.2 V4 settles into a steady idle and rewards the driver with a flexible powerband and a smooth, progressive take-up of power Mated to a precise four-speed manual gearbox, the engine delivers a wonderfully connected driving experience. The gearbox offers a positive, mechanical feel through the gate, making each gear change a pleasure, while ratios are well spaced to make the most of the engine's lively character The car sits proudly on its original 14-inch steel wheels, each presented in unmarked condition and adorned with polished chrome hub embellishers First registered on the 1st August 1967,This is not just a classic car it's an opportunity to own a slice of motoring history.
