vehicle description:

1971 Lancia FULVIA HF1600 Coupé
Chassis no. 818.740.003783
The introduction of the FULVIA saloon in 1963 maintained Lancia"s reputation for innovation in automobile design. The boxily-styled Appia replacement featured an all-new, narrow-angle, V4, overhead-camshaft engine; front wheel drive; independent front suspension by double wishbones; and disc brakes all round. A 2+2 coupe on a shorter wheelbase was launched in 1965. Though mechanically similar, the beautiful newcomer had all the visual presence its progenitor lacked and came with a 1,216cc engine producing 80bhp. Tuned, lightweight "HF" versions provided increased performance and formed the basis of the works" highly successful rally programme that saw the FULVIA HF1600 secure Lancia"s first Manufacturers" World Championship in 1972. Ultimate expression of the FULVIA Coupé, the HF1600 had been introduced in 1969 and came with a 1,584cc engine producing 115bhp in road tune - an output sufficient for a top speed of 185km/h (115mph) - revised suspension and a five-speed gearbox. Production ceased in 1973 after a little fewer than 5,000 HF1600s had been built.
Still fitted with its original engine, this matching-numbers HF1600 was purchased by the current owner from a doctor in Italy in 2003. Before then the Lancia had always been registered in Italy and was race-homologated in that country.
The car was raced by the previous owner, the Belgian privateer driver and 1976 Spa Francorchamps 24H winner "Chavan", until 2005, participating in many regularity rallies including the Marathon des Alpes, Boucles de Spa and Aeropole (2nd place). It was then completely restored to original specification: chassis, body, electrics, suspension, brakes and interior (except for the headlining). The engine too was completely restored, since when the car has covered some 8,000 kilometres on the road (it has not been raced since restoration). There are photographs on file recording the entire restoration of the bodywork, and the car also comes with Italian registration papers.
