1972 – Lancia Fulvia 1600 HF S2, Chassis No. 818740 03578 French vehicle

“It was thanks to this model that Lancia won the World Rally Championship title in 1972, as well as numerous victories up until 1974.” Derived from the Fulvia saloon, the coupé was unveiled at the 1965 Geneva Motor Show, before the first Fulvia 1.2 HF for competition appeared in 1966, followed two years later by the Fulvia 1.6 HF. In total, 3,690 examples of the 1600 HF and HF Lusso coupés were built before production of the Lancia Fulvia HF coupé ceased in January 1973. Our example is an authentic 1.6 HF produced in 1971 and sold new in France on 24 February 1972. Its history can be traced back to before the 2000s, when it was purchased by a certain Mr Chevalier from a winegrower in Bordeaux. At that time, it was white and had just over 60,000 km on the odometer. The bodywork was restored between 2000 and 2002 and repainted red with a black bonnet. In 2009, the engine was completely overhauled with higher-lift camshafts, forged pistons, balanced connecting rods, large valves, a lightweight flywheel, electronic ignition (taking care to retain the original wiring harness), an oil cooler, etc., boosting the engine’s power to 130 ch. At the same time, the car was prepared for rallying with a roll cage and bucket seats, a Brantz Tripmaster, a Terratrip intercom system, an ATL fuel tank, long-range headlights, a circuit breaker, a fire extinguisher and a hydraulic handbrake. The car was then sold to a collector in La Manche in 2010 before joining our collection in 2012. Immediately after purchase, the Solex carburettors were replaced with Weber 45 DCOE units. Since then, the car has always been regularly maintained, with significant expenditure on the brakes, fuel pump, ignition, shock absorbers and running gear, heating, as well as on the bodywork to ensure its excellent appearance and smooth running. A comprehensive file containing numerous invoices and photographs of the work carried out will be provided to the buyer.
