Beautiful Lancia Fulvia Coupé Rallye 1.3 S first series, a particularly appreciated and sought-after version, prepared to Group 3 (Series Production Grand Touring) specifications and enhanced, on the roof, by Rauno Aaltonen’s autograph.
History and use
The car has seen limited sporting activity: between 2012 and 2014 it took part in one rally and two hill climbs; subsequently, after an initial overhaul, it participated in two further hill climbs in 2019.
In the second half of 2019 it underwent a comprehensive restoration and specific preparation for the 2020 Rallye Monte-Carlo Historique.
After the Monte Carlo event, it saw very limited use, participating between 2020 and 2021 in only three regularity events (Revival Valpantena, Campagnolo Legend and Coppa Bettega) and, in 2024, in a celebratory gathering marking 60 years since the Fulvia Coupé was introduced.
The car has always completed the events in which it participated without problems.
In subsequent years it was stored with periodic starts and movements, accompanied by the usual maintenance work.
Today it presents itself in **good overall condition, **with normal signs of use consistent with its participation in historic events and some minor cosmetic bodywork defects, and is ready for regularity rallies, events and historic gatherings.
