As a former Fulvia owner, I concur with that.Well I am not very good at looking at cars from pictures, if you see what I mean. It is an S3 but the interior has been re-trimmed. It would not have had piping and would have had headrests. The yellow rocker cover is non-original (in the style of the HF cars) but easily fixed of course. The steering wheel is non-standard but nice. I think the rear reflectors have been off as they are mounted on the wrong sides in my view. Fundamentals, such as whether the subframe is sound (they rot on the back legs, and the front wheel arches crack) I can't tell.
In general a Fulvia is a lovely thing and if you can find a good one, is very rewarding.
for an anorak fact, the S1 had alloy doors, boot and bonnet. The quarter lights were fixed. S2 cars with steel doors but opening quarter lights. What seems to have happened here is that the S2 quarter lights have been fitted to the alloy doors. I've done that myself in the past and it is the best thing to do on an S2 car with the desirable alloy panels.The doors, bonnet and boot lid are aluminium and were fitted many years ago prior to the restoration.
I thought the bonnets on the Zagatos was side hinged??

Watching this thread, I began learning about these cool little cars. Sooo when this one popped up on ebay US, I took a long look at it. Might just bid on it. Would someone on here check it out and give me an opinion? Thanks, Ed. US ebay item # 164065439637 1975 Lancia Fulvia
Ah I didn't know that.S1 Rallye S quarter lights were opening.
Looks lovely and if it goes for the expected price a bit of a bargain.
