Lancia is well known for being involved in motorsport since the early days and the Fulvia is one of the cars that contributed to their rich history. The Fulvia Series II was the last model developed be- fore the Fiat takeover.

The 740 in the VIN corresponds to Series 2 1600 HF cars, this example does not have the “Lusso” (luxury) equipment, these var- iants are often simply known as “Corsa” (race). The early Series 2 1600 HF were designed to resemble the Fulvia rally cars known as “Fanalone”.

The HF 1600 has aluminum doors and bonnet like the Series 1 and plexiglass rear window and wider rear wheel arches like the Fanalone. The removal of the front bumper also makes it resemble the rally cars more. Inside there are bucket-shaped seats without headrests and triangular vent windows with their opening/closing feature removed. Approximately 400 of these Corsas were made, making it a rare model among the Fulvia range.

This example is largely original with a few customisations made, such as the grille and cylinder head cover painted to match the Fanalone rally cars.

The previous owner of this car was a collector and carefully stored it indoors, this is evident by the lack of UV damage on both the interior and exterior making this a great highly collectible exam- ple.
