ย This the Series 1 1970 Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Fanalone Tipo 818.540. "Fanalone" refers to the "Big Lamps" for the up-sized inner lamps. This model was used by the works rally team until 1974 when it was replaced by the Stratos. It can also be identified by the fat blue stripe over the yellow cam cover which was for regular HF cars. One more identifying feature is the two small triangular inlets just inboard to the inner lamps.

AUTOart did a great job on this model. The metal grill badge is beautifully replicated and the build quality overall is exceptional.
