1975 Lancia Fulvia | London

A 1975 Lancia Fulvia Coupé 1.3S Monte Carlo, the small Italian coupé liked for its narrow V4 engine, front-wheel drive and nimble handling. The Monte Carlo edition marks Lancia's 1972 Monte Carlo Rally win, and its styling carries that story. This one is red with a black interior. Flared wheel arches, rectangular fog lamps, a matt black bonnet and boot lid and no bumpers give it a purposeful, rally-bred stance. Found in Italy in 2015 with very low mileage, it was imported and sympathetically restored, keeping its originality intact. Condition is very good, and a HERO-ERA historic rally in March was its latest outing. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out into the road. Red against matt black, with no bumpers to interrupt the line, makes a graphic subject for advertising and fashion shoots. The compact 1970s shape suits period film and TV, and gives music videos and editorial work a continental look. It also suits a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in London.
