Fulvia S1 Rallye S Coupe 1969 - Competition prepared but requires finishing.This is probably more of a "gauging interest" type of post rather than a full "for sale" because as much as I want to get this car finished and racing, I'm just not getting the time to devote to it. I'm sure that I am not the only one around here to have more than one project on the go! But the longer it sits in my garage, the more chance it's going to need work doing again and more chance it will get damaged.
What do you think - Sell it, or keep it another 13 years? Are you interested?? If you'd like to know more, then email or message me, I can always give you a call or send pictures.
I know I'm not going to get anywhere near the money I have spent on it, but as a true Lancia fanatic, it's not about the money, it about keeping these wonderful cars going. Rest assured, the sale proceeds will be quickly re-invested in more Italian magic - only one that's finished!!
I have owned the car since 1996 and in that time it has been transformed from a rusty "should have been scrapped" car into a gorgeous bright yellow racer! It was clear very early on that this was never going to be a concours restoration so it has been prepared with hill climbs and sprints in mind. Although I'm sure it wouldn't take much adjustment to meet the rally regs too.
Car is registered and is intended to run in road legal class. It is also tax exempt.
This is about where I am with it but I'm sure there's loads more:
