- Join me as I take you around this gorgeous Lancia Fulvia, showing you all the coolest features of this World Rally Champion!
This is our 1968 Fulvia Rallye 1.3 which we are going to restore over the coming weeks. We plan to take you on every step of the way with this stunning little Italian coupe, from driving it for the first time, respraying the body and dialling in the adjustable dampers to bumpy UK roads! It really is a gorgeous little car that deserves a proper dose of TLC.
The Fulvia was released in 1963 as a boxy, front wheel drive, V4-engined saloon car, and later morphed into the two-door Coupe we have here. Fulvias came fitted with disc brakes all around, and this car has aluminium doors, bonnet and boot lid so weighs under 1000kg, with the 1298cc V4 putting out around 90bhp. Series 1 cars like this one come with a lovely, slick 4-speed 'box, and are often regarded as the last pure Lancias, with Fiat taking over the marque in 1970 and putting cost-cutting measures in place. The Fulvia won multiple rally championships in its life, most notably the 1972 International World Rally Championship with a Fulvia 1.6 HF.
We hope you enjoyed our look around this beautiful little car and got a sense of how special it is, there's a lot of work to be done and we hope you stay tuned!

Looking forward to this new journey!
Fulvias are wonderful to see up and about!
I’m a 1968 model as well; glad to see this Fulvia is getting her share of love!
Glad to hear it! They are wonderful little things, from a time when Lancia's had some crazy engineering going on 😄 going to make some progress with her in the next week or two...
Nice little motor and cant wait to see the finished project, and then the car on the roads. keep us posted on the progress and look forward to some more amazing vids..
Thanks man! Looking forward to driving it and telling you what its like!
Love Fulvia’s, so pretty especially from the rear. Good luck with the restoration, will follow with interest.
Agreed, love the simplicity. Thanks for watching!
Another great vid. Loving your channel!
Thanks so much! Very kind.
Having a Fulvia S1 68 myself, I'm looking forward to see your restoration process. Good luck !
Awesome! They're beautiful cars, can't wait to share some progress!
Great, good work of restoration... Bravissimo... 😁
Thank you 😄
What a beautiful car! They certainly don’t make them like that anymore! Great review!
Glad you like it! It is really special, even when standing still 🤣
What a beautiful little car. Always loved the Fulvia - another example proving to the world that FWD is so overlooked! Can't wait to see how this project goes!
Thank you! They are great little cars, can't wait to get it on the road to show you what it's like! 🙂
Awesome man! Thats a legend
Thanks dude! Can't wait to get it on the road 🙂
@@AshrafonCars keep it all red pls dont do the rally paint job everyone else is doing. its a beautiful car
@@stathisko1 definitely planning to keep it like this, I think it suits the pure and simple design a lot more 👍
Amazing video
Keep on creating your videos
😉
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it, there are more on the way! 🙂
@@tariqhamid580 me too! Can't wait 🙂
Top video brother :)
Thanks a lot bro 🙂
An Italian car you dont have to make apologies for!
😃👍
Well done mate, you are a true car connoisseur , you are probably aware but for other viewers the Lancia motor club has very good magazine with useful contacts. When I was a kid there was a legendary character in Guildford area called Harry Manning, he knew pretty much everything there was to know about Lancia's, must have gone to his grave with a mountain of knowledge. Good luck with the project .
Cheers Alistair! Very kind, and thanks for the info.
@@AshrafonCars Keep up the good work, is music to my ears to hear people doing a proper job.
Lancia Italia 🇮🇹🚩🏁👍🔝
The series 2 is more reliable as a package with better Girling brakes and a lovely 5 speed box.Its also the series 2 that won the World rally championship.
I owned a series 2 two years ago. I loved it but I do prefer the style, build quality/materials and gear change on the series 1, as well as a smattering of other details.
No brake booster was another difference. A common characteristic of this era of Italian sports and super sports cars. Also no side view mirrors. They didn’t brake often and avoided side view mirrors by accelerating in lane until the rear view covered a lane change. Sound like my style of driving pretty accurately. Throttle blip downshifts aid in braking as well as motoring when the accelerator is released.
Great Video! Could you please direct me to the Fuse Box on a 1972 lancia fulvia? Do you have any pictures of where it is located in relation to the rest of the dash or engine bay, wherever the box is located? Thanks for the information as it is for my friend who just bought the car and does not have a manual. Cheers!
Thank you! On my series 1 it is located directly underneath the glovebox, however a 1972 series 2 car may be different. I'll check for you and let you know 🙂
@@AshrafonCarsThanks
@@michaelberman6467 I've just remembered, it is indeed different in the series 2. In my old 74' car it was behind the lower centre dash panel (the panel with the grille, below the wood trim and heater controls). Unbolt this to access the fuse box 🙂
@@AshrafonCars Thanks so much. I have forwarded your answer to my friend. Much Appreciated!!! BTW He loves his Lancia...
@@michaelberman6467 no problem! I'm sure he does, they get under your skin 😄
and the best thing about these cars is that they are half the price of an alfa junior. maybe even less.
Exactly. And I'd wager that the build quality and performance of these early cars with aluminium panels is better than an Alfa junior!
What has happened to this car over the last two years? Bob
If you had to choose one car, the Fulvia or the Giulia which would you keep?
They're both very different to drive, but mainly because I have wider wheels and tyres, Alfaholics springs and Koni dampers fitted to the Giulia. The Alfa is physical and it loves to be driven hard on smooth roads, it's well controlled and it feels up for it. The Fulvia, on its skinny little tyres and original suspension is much more delicate - lighter steering, more compliant, less grip, more roll. It's very sweet and more civilized, but for a good blast on a mountain road I'd take the Alfa. And parts for the Giulia are much cheaper and easier to find.
Be very careful with rear springs - too many UK Fulvias coupes have too high a rear stance and that affects handling and ride.
Will do - I'm going to swap the shocks and see what the rear height is like with those first 👍
@@AshrafonCars well worth joining the LMC UK, useful forum and get advice from likes of Peter Gerrish, Neale Shepherd and other Fulvia experts
Sorry but they’re a lot of crap while talking about Fiat.. lots of misleading facts.. what a pitty. The S3 was the best model, not the most expensive, but the one. And that’s not me saying, it’s my expert machanic
I owned an S3 before and the quality and detailing of the S1 is just better.
