Lancia Fulvia Zagato

[benjj]

Bit of a long shot but has anyone had/seen one?

Im pretty tempted by one...

There's one that I've seen several times round here in Warwick. As for ones that you can buy; they crop up quite often on ebay and classic cars for sale websites. Try Omicron as they have a for sale section.

Look at today's Mirror - Hamster's page has a section on Zagato which includes this very car, with photo.

I've had Fulvias for 20 years, although never a Zagato. They are beautifully engineered cars, handle very well and have a pace that belies their age and engine size.

Mechanically they are the same as the respective coupes only with a higher final drive ratio. Basically two series (pre '71 and post '71).

All the series 1 cars are 1300 and four speed, and about the first 50% had aluminium outer panels.
All series 2 cars are five speed and have either 1300 or 1600 engines.

The series 1 cars are more "pure", both in shape and driving, the series 2 cars a more practical everyday proposition. The areas to look at are the same as a coupe (sills, suspension pick up points, subframe etc).

More relaxed to drive than a coupe and quieter as well. They have a very strong following and with comparatively few being sold in the UK, never many on the market.

Expect to pay around £8k for a good 1300 (a bit more if an aluminium car) and £12k for a 1600.

Other than Omicron keep an eye on these sites, or get a wanted advert put on the LMC website.
