Excellent handling, accurate and light steering, sharp looks, great specialist support and amazing reactions on the social scene. Why wouldn’t you want a Lancia Fulvia? Especially a Zagato? We have a tasty little number here needing a new home…
Project of the Week: Lancia Fulvia
The Lancia Fulvia Zagato is the one that everyone really wants today. Draped in desirability, and looking butch yet svelte, many claim you either love it or hate it. There is apparently no middle ground. We disagree however, as while the looks might not be to everyone’s taste, the driving experience is simply sublime.
The concept-car style looks may be a tad off-the-wall for most, but performance is excellent with the top-spec 1.6 litre 115bhp Sport Zagato being the cream of the crop - and that is exactly what we have here.
This example is in fair condition and will require some restoration. Don’t think that it’s been sat outside for nature to kick about though, it’s been barn stored over the last twenty years, with only 5,000 miles racked up since 1990 for a grand total of 85,000 since leaving the Lancia factory. The MoT expired on the 23rd of September 2015, now SORNed, with MoT certificates to back up the mileage claim.
With six owners from new and believed to be one of only (approx.) 63 original right hand drives built, this is a seriously good opportunity to grab one of only twenty Fulvia Zagato vehicles thought to be left intact.
Also included: the original keys, all receipts and historical documents, full inspection reports by Italian car specialists DTR Sports and Day & Whites, full outdoor cover and a gold portfolio guide by Brooklands Books.
We can’t lie to you here and tell you that parts will be cheap or that specialist help won’t cost triple figures, but the result will be well worth it. It will likely cost the same as a deposit on your house to run and maintain, but if you should already have a house then this is the perfect companion to seal the deal as coolest driver in the neighbourhood.
