A rare Italian classic, featuring striking coach-built Zagato bodywork, and benefiting from an inspection and mechanical attention shortly after its arrival in Australia. It is powered by a carburettor-fed 1.3-litre V4, delivering around 68kW / 92hp to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. This Lancia was originally delivered to the UK and registered as ‘DCX 499L’ before being exported to Australia in 2016, where it is offered for sale by its owner of six years. The car is finished in red over a black vinyl-trimmed cabin with wood panel dashboard inlays. It rides on a set of 14-inch steel wheels, shod with a matching set of Falken Sincera SN807 tyres. The specification includes a sliding fabric roof, two-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, Jaeger instrument dials, opening front quarterlight windows, and a ‘Courier’ push-button radio. The bumpers have been removed for a ‘smoother’ aesthetic, but they are included in the sale. Included in the sale is the owner’s handbook, import paperwork, a service invoice, a copy of the previous UK registration document, spare wheel, and two sets of keys. The paintwork is said to be in fair condition, with various imperfections and areas of bubbling visible around the bodywork. These include some rust on and around the boot hatch, spots of surface rust around the offside rear window, indentations on both doors, marks on the rear end, and paint blemishes on the nearside front and rear quarter panels. There is pitting on some of the brightwork, cracks on the nearside front light covers, and a small tear in the folding roof panel. The seller notes that the previous owner applied an anti-rust treatment to the underbody. Inside, the cabin is in good shape, with minor wear on the driver’s seat, damaged piping on the back of both front seats, worn carpets, a small crack in the trim around the speedometer, and some time-earned ‘patina’ visible throughout. The seller reports that the radio and some other switches are not connected, but they are not aware of any further electrical or mechanical faults. Please note: the car is sold as seen, and without a roadworthy certificate. Buckleys Auto Repairs carried out a general service, oil change and spark plug replacement in June 2022. Maranello Pursang Motors performed a roadworthiness inspection in May 2017 and replaced the brake hoses, bled the brakes, and fitted new bushes to the lower suspension arms, new bushes to the right-hand top control arm, a new right-hand outer CV boot, new differential flange seals, battery, oil filler, steering column and universal shaft, exhaust, reversing lamp and switch, front and rear seatbelts, and a front indicator. They also checked the tuning, adjusted the carburettors, degreased the engine and gearbox, and rewired the reversing lamp. This Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato 1.3S is an honest example of the breed, which has been garaged during the seller’s six-year ownership and only used on weekends. While the new keeper may wish to carry out some cosmetic improvements in due course, this Lancia received some mechanical attention shortly after import to Australia, and would make for a charming weekend cruiser, sure to draw plenty of attention at any car show or meet.
