Must admit the price was an eye opener !
and after Eric is done !As soon as Nelly is done ???????
This one popped up through the Lancia Motor Club a while back at £20k and I'd have been very tempted if I'd had the cash to spare and somewhere to keep it! Looks like it was snapped up by a dealer out for a quick profit but it's not shifting. I may have heard a rumour that it has been rolled at some point in it's life?

Definitely my favourite Fulvia!

seen this one before as well Guy..... the Zagato prices are certainly moving upwards in the last 2 years !.......... maybe we should be making replica's ??
Jeez, I remember when you struggled to give Fulvias away...I paid the princely sum of £200 for a 1600 Zagato back in the early '80's, partly cos the motor was making a nasty noise from the front somewhere. Got it home, whipped off the cam cover, and someone had fitted the duplex timing chain so it was running on the front sprocket teeth only and catching on the timing chest. Unbelievable. Couple of hours later and it was all sorted. Unfortunately, and upon closer inspection, the bodyshell resembled one of those antimacassar thingies yer Gran used to have over the back of the settee, and being no bodywork guy I kept the engine as a spare (it ended up in my Fanalone for a while) and sold the rest on...for £200
The fella I sold it to fixed it up and stuck a 1300 in it and knocked about in it for a good while. Strangely, he's still a mate, which must say something about his state of mind...
If I'd known they'd get as highly-priced as they are now I'd have invested in industrial-grade quantities of cotton wool...and I'd still have the Fanalone...still, better to have loved and lost, etc.
Friend of mine had a thing for 1600 Zagatos and had four of them together at one point (as well as a luscious Longchamps Bronze 1600HF Lusso). Amazing how blase you can get about something so special - I stopped noticing them when I went to visit after a few months! Haha!
there are definate issues with that car.....otherwise it would have sold - no quick profit.
Hi Guy and Guys
for sure the Zagato is a very nice car and I recently met some other ones but I fall now in love with one 1970 Fulvia used in rallies in Italy
This car is arrived yesterday evening in my garage
