One of the first 200 made and believed to be the only Tipo 818.132
in the UK, this desirable Lancia has continuous history and has
covered only 99,356 miles from new. A left-hand drive model, it was
bought from the Lancia factory by a Turin-resident Englishman, Hugh
Lloyd, and first registered in Italy on 16th January 1967. Mr Lloyd
specified UK instruments, which are still present, and early in his
ownership had Dinitrol rust proofing carried out and a set of five FPS
alloy wheels fitted, which likewise are still on the car. Mr Lloyd worked
at the Dino de Laurentis film studios in Rome and also at Shepperton
Studios, using the Lancia to travel between the two locations.
He was a member of the Automobile Club D’Italia; the Roma
division sticker is still on the windscreen and the Club passport
in the history file, which also contains the original Carta De
Circolazione logbook, correspondence with Lancia, service bills,
Dinitrol guarantee and even insurance certificates. An original
launch brochure (depicting a car in the same colour as this one),
owner’s manual and dealer directory are also present.
On 3rd February 1970, Mr Lloyd imported the car into the UK where it
was registered ‘EPE 199J’. HMC&E paperwork is on file, as is the export
permit. Following an engine failure, the Fulvia changed ownership in
1983, passing to a noted Lancia collector who kept the car for some 15
years, upgrading it to a 1.3 Rallye engine complete with 35mm Dell’Orto
carburettors but otherwise keeping it original. During his ownership the
registration changed to the age-related ‘OPD 23E’.The Sport changed hands in 1997 and some ten years later, after a
few more owners, was repurchased by the same collector who had
bought it in 1983. The current vendors acquired the car in 2013,
since when it has benefited from extensive renovation including minor
body/chassis repairs; a repaint in original Mendoza blue; refurbishing
the FPS wheels; fitting new original-specification Michelin XAS tyres;
and an almost complete interior re-trim using authentic materials to
original specification. The exhaust is a recent fitting and the Sport has
just been MoT’d and serviced.Ex-works HF rally cars aside, the Sport Zagato is the most desirable
and collectible of all the Fulvias and undeniably one of the most striking
designs of its era. Offered with its original keys and a tailored car cover,
this example would be the perfect addition to any collection.
