1969 Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Fanalone at No Reserve

This 1969 Lancia Fulvia Rallye 1,6 HF is a left-hand-drive Series I example finished in Amaranto Montebello over a black interior. It is the 158th built out of a production run of 1,278 developed for homologation purposes. Records indicate that it was sold new in Genoa, Italy, and previous owners include an Italian Fiat dealer and a Monégasque collector. A restoration was reportedly performed in the late 1990s, and the car has participated in the 2002 and 2017 Rallye Monte Carlo Historiques. Power is supplied by a 1.6-liter narrow-angle V4 paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, and it was modified with a bolt-in roll bar, rally-style timers, Cibie auxiliary lights, and a fire extinguisher. This Fanalone was listed on BaT in October 2018 and, following its recent acquisition by 1600Veloce, a BaT Local Partner, it was offered on BaT in August 2026. It is now offered again at no reserve in New York with spare parts and a Montana title.

The Fulvia Coupe was designed in-house by Piero Castagnero and saw early racing success with a class win at the Targa Florio in 1966. For 1969, following the development of the 1.6-liter engine, Fulvias won both the San Remo and Royal Automobile Club international rallies. They also placed in the top six for the Alpine, Monte Carlo, and Swedish rallies.

The homologation cars can be distinguished by their larger inboard Carello lamps, for which it received the “Fanalone” moniker. Other exterior features include flared wheel arches and small triangular vents on the grille. Weight reduction performed by the factory for Series 1 HFs included the use of aluminum for the lids and doors, as well as a thinner windshield and the elimination of sound deadening. Exterior modifications include a Monza-style fuel filler and the addition of Cibie rally lamps.

This example is finished in Amaranto Montebello (1359) and features a body-length stripe in light blue and yellow, colors representing the city of Turin. A restoration was commissioned by a previous owner in the early 1990s, and a number of chips and nicks have since accumulated in the finish.

HF (High Fidelity) stickers are present on each front fender, along with an HF badge on the grille, and an Automobile Club de Monaco crest on the rear valance. A set of gold-finished Cromodora CD28 wheels come fitted, and they have Pirelli Cinturato CN36s mounted. Suspension incorporates a rear Panhard rod, front and rear anti-roll bars, and a transverse leaf spring setup with unequal-length control arms up front along with a live axle coupled with semi-elliptic leaf springs out back.

The left-hand-drive cabin comes equipped with a pair of low-back “flying buttress” style seats and Sabelt harnesses. A bolt-in roll bar has also been added, along with a fire extinguisher, and the harnesses are noted to be out of date.

Behind the two-spoke Ferrero steering wheel is a set of Veglia gauges. Factory equipment for the 1.6HF included a 10k rpm tachometer, with an adjustable redline, as well as an oil temperature gauge in place of the clock. A rally timer and trip meters have been added. Minor cracks are present in the dash top and some missing sections of varnish are visible on the wooden fascia. 23k kilometers (~14k miles) are shown on the five-digit odometer.

The 1.6-liter narrow-angle V4 is equipped with dual sidedraft Solex carburetors and velocity stacks, as well as a free-flowing exhaust and oil catch can.

A five-speed manual gearbox Type 820.230 from a Flavia Coupé 2000 has been retrofitted.

Spares are included as displayed.
