Lancia Fulvia (Top Model)
The Fulvia Coupé, a successful sports car from Lancia with an original and innovative architecture, was launched in 1965. This book, written in collaboration with Emilio Agiato, traces its history up to 1976, evoking its successive versions with 1200, 1300 and 1600 cm³ engines. An entire chapter is devoted to the Fulvia Sport with Zagato bodywork.
The Fulvia's exceptional racing career is given special attention, with two chapters dedicated to the HF versions and their competition results. Finally, the history of the Lancia brand and the Fulvia in France and Belgium is discussed.
Like the previous ones, this book by Julien Lombard is mainly based on period illustrations (press photos, catalogues, advertisements, magazine covers, etc.), many of which are unpublished, while all versions of the Fulvia Coupé and Sport are detailed in the appendices thanks to dozens of drawings specially made by the former Bertone and Pininfarina designer Piero Stroppa.
No fewer than fifteen period witnesses (former dealers and importers, designers, rally drivers, etc.) were interviewed, in particular Cesare Fiorio, former head of Squadra HF, Ercole Spada, author of the design of the Fulvia Sport and the Frenchwoman Claudine Trautmann, who distinguished herself on official Fulvias for several years.
