1969 Lancia Fulvia 1.3S Rallye
Outside of dedicated car enthusiasts, Lancia isn't a brand that is particularly well known in the United States but their history is truly remarkable. Founded in 1906 in Turin, Italy, Lancia was always on the cutting edge of technology, building the first unibody chassis and the first 5-speed gearbox. But the part of Lancia's history that is where things get really exciting is with rallying. Although the company left the World Rally Championship in 1992, they still hold the record for most Manufacturers' Championships with 10 victories between 1974 and 1992.
But in the days before the WRC, the car that brought home dozens of rally victories for Lancia was the Fulvia. The little front wheel drive car combined lightweight, an exciting and innovative V4 engine and great traction, winning the 1972 International Championship for Manufacturers, along with every Italian Rally Championship between 1965 and 1973 - save for one year. The Fulvia is a rarely seen car in the United States, but this Italian market 1969 Fulvia Rallye 1.3 is a stunning example that has been cherished under the care of just three owners from new. Under the care of the last owner, the car underwent significant servicing to improve reliability and driving enjoyment, making it a turn-key classic ready to be enjoyed.
Of the many things that makes this Fulvia special is, 1969 was the final year of Lancia production before the company's acquisition by Fiat, at which time, they began cutting costs and decontenting these special cars. Because of this, the doors, trunk and hood are all made of lightweight aluminum- which were all later replaced by steel pieces. Finished in white, you can really appreciate the beautiful shape of this car with its quad front lights and enormous glass greenhouse. The white looks particularly striking when paired with a set of gold Campagnolo wheels wrapped in new tires.
The interior is the sort of restrained elegance you would expect from a 1960s Italian car, with two nicely padded low-back bucket seats in front and a rear bench seat, all wrapped in tan leather. When you drop into the driver's seat, you are met by a large, thin-rimmed 2-spoke steering wheel, with an assortment of white-on-black Veglia gauges behind it, inset within a beautiful polished wood dash panel. Lancia has always been a company renowned for their build quality, and the interior really shows that.
Powering the Fulvia is a truly unique 1.3-liter narrow-angle V4. Like the Volkswagen VR6 of the 1990s, both cylinder banks share a single head, making for a more compact engine that can be placed in the exact right spot in the engine bay. Breathing through a pair of Solex carburetors, the 1.3 Rallye was rated from the factory at 86 horsepower which was achieved at 6,400 rpm. Although that isn't much by today's standards, when Road & Track tested the Rallye in 1967, it tipped the scales at just 2,090 lbs meaning the car feels much quicker than you would expect. Under current ownership, this car received a comprehensive mechanical freshening including all new hoses and water pump, oil pan gasket and brake caliper rebuild. Power is sent through a 4-speed manual to the front wheels. In that same Road & Track test from 1969, they crowned the Fulvia as "...the best handling front wheel drive car we've ever driven." and even still that is applicable.
If you're a fan of rally racing, or just looking for a classic that is a bit off the beaten path, the Fulvia is an outstanding choice. With its revvy engine, wonderful slick gearchange and almost telepathic handling, the Fulvia makes every drive a thrill and really feels like no other classic car out there. When paired with the recent reconditioning and a host of OEM parts that come with the car, this is not a car to miss.
