Hatch opens electrically for cabin ventilation.
Also if Harry says it it must be true...PS it's not, harry has a zagato, that is a little different. Look at the thickness of the metal in other cars on the era. Some of the lighter competition fulvia cars had thinner glass than the standard as well as some cars having aluminium bonnets, boots and doors. The standard coupe car is 900kg wet, then getting a reliable 90hp out of a 1.3 road is good if you think what else was around at the time.

Following on from rust chat I remember Harry from Harry's garage saying Lancia's of this era had much thinner steel than other manufacturers of the time, I think it was 0.7mm, which made them light, but also gave them their infamous reputation for rust. Not a single fuck given by this owner I spotted today, driving around the UK in December in his Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato.
To be fair this looks in great condition, though don't know why the back hatch isn't closed properly, maybe a not in the brochure Lancia feature. Needs some proper colour though, why were all the cars, food, clothes and furniture from this era so fucking beige, thank fuck everyone got round to dropping acid and brightening things up a bit.
I just found out the designer of that, Ercole Spada, also designed the BMW E34 5 series as seen on previous page, which was a surprise. He also did the Aston DB4 GTZ and I think the prettiest Lamborghini ever, the 3500 GTZ. https://www.lambocars.com/3500-gtz-by-zagato-image-gallery/ /CSB
