Description
The Fulvia Coupe led the path for the triumphant return of Lancia into the world of motorsports. Its ingenuous placing of the horizontally opposed narrow angle V4 engine in front of its wheels allowed for precision handling superceeding far more powerful contestants. Its performance at Tour de Corse, Italian Rally Championship and International Championship for Manufacturers (WRC) quickly established Fulvia as the epitomy of Lancia's motorsports history. In honour of its 1972 Monte Carlo rally victory, Lancia decided to built the 'Fulvia 1. 3S Montecarlo' special edition that featured an exact copy of the works car body. The production and consequent rallying career of Fulvia ceased in 1976 with gradually departing from the rallying limelight, until recently.
In 2013 a team of restoration experts from Rosso Corsa Italia were commissioned by a world renown Italian rally driver to build a special car that would withstand one of the most gruelling rallies, the Endurance Rally Association's Peking to Paris. The special Fulvia featured a reinforced chassis, a front-fender welded bull bar, rear mounted double spares, wider wheel arches, wider and taller wheels and a series of mechanical improvements. Once put to the test, the Rosso Corsa Italia Fulvia did not only finish the 5th and 6th Peking to Paris Rallies but also finished 5th in the 2014 Classic Safari Challenge and 1st in the 2015 Classic Sahara Challenge's. Its formidable success was to be honored a year later by a team of Fulvia enthusiasts who decided to build an exact replica of the Rosso Corsa Italia #57. After an extensively elaborate preparation of the body featuring among others the front fender welded bull bar and rear fender welded struts as well as a preparation of the interior and its suspension, the car was unveiled in 2016 only to participate in 20 regularity events in Greece, Spain, Bulgaria and Poland with impressive results.
It is now offered for sale fully serviced for the adamant collector and enthusiast of Fulvia motorsport history.
