The Lancia Fulvia GTE from 1969 is a luxury variant of the Fulvia Berlina, produced in the final years of the first series (1963–1969). The car is equipped with a 1.3-liter V4 engine delivering approximately 87 hp, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox. With front-wheel drive, disc brakes all around, and a relatively low weight of around 1,000 kg, the GTE offered a good balance between comfort and sportiness.

The GTE (Gran Turismo Esportazione) was designed as a more refined version, with better finishes and richer equipment than the standard Berlina. The top speed is around 160 km/h. Thanks to Lancia’s technically advanced design, including a narrow-angle V engine and independent suspension, the Fulvia was known for its excellent handling and road performance. Today, the GTE is a rare classic with historical significance.

This Lancia Fulvia was purchased new in January 1969 by Mr. Silvano Scardigli (born 1921) from Empoli. The first owner, however, passed away in February 1971. His widow lovingly maintained the Lancia at their villa, although she did not drive herself. The engine was regularly started. When she left the villa in 2013 and passed away shortly after, her two nephews sold the car to Mr. Rosati in Rome. At that time, the odometer showed just 9,000 kilometers. Mr. Rosati ensured the car was made roadworthy where necessary and kept everything as original as possible. In May 2019, the car was sold to Amsterdam, showing only 12,800 kilometers on the odometer.

Everything remains in original condition and is as good as new. The car still has its original paint and looks fantastic. This is a time warp! This must be undeniably the most beautiful in the Netherlands. Included are the winter rubber grille cover, the green leather pouch with the original Lancia brush, and all purchase documents. The car is registered with a Dutch license plate.
