So… I was chatting to the chap who own this car. Turns out it’s quite special…
Lancia Fulvia 1600HF Lusso. First registered in Torino, Italy on the 26th July 1972. So named ‘Via Fulvia’, which is the Roman road from Tortona to Torino. The car is an un-restored original example, with the very rare Italiah Lusso pack. Painted in the very important Lancia family colour of LA15 Blue Mendoza. The car belonged to Luigi De Virgilo.
Luigi De Virgilo – The son of Francesco De Virgilo.
Francesco De Virgilo – the husband of Rita Lancia
Rita Lancia – The daughter of Giovanni Lancia
Giovanni Lancia – the brother of the company founder, Vincenzo Lancia
Giovanni Lancia is also the founding father of the famous Lancia V6 engine found in the Lancia Aurelia and Flamina models.
