Definitely my favourite Fulvia!

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.Quote:

This car is arrived yesterday evening in my garage :)
Frederic, seems like you have your own half of the garage now. I wish I could take a pic of my collection but my garage is only one car wide (4 long!). Here is a pic on my 1600 Sport which I restored before retirement 11 years ago - to give Phil some encouragement.....
What spec is your fulvia. Special bits under the bonnet?
Hi Tim
I like this photo with your very nice 1600...shooted in French Alps col du lautaret ( which I climbed on bicycle a long time ago in my youth!)
The garage is almost full now...with this 1.3S serie 2! It's not a big engine but this V4 delivers 90HP and it's enough for an easy and very agile driving specially on small roads ...but I think you know that better than me!!
This car spent its all Life in Italy and is fully prepared for regularity rally
The cherry on the cake is a genuine Munari Ferrero steering wheel :)
Bonjour Fred
Bravo pour ta nouvelle acquisition !!!
Bonjour MichelQuote:

Le complément idéal de la Strat ;)
Bonne pioche alors !!
Tu vas pouvoir t'amuser sur les routes du tour de corse ?????
On another matter I am desperately looking for an 037 Stradale for some television work in Europe.
PM me if you can point me in the direction of an owner who may be willing to lend his car. Good exposure...
Thanks

Thanks Chris
I have messaged him on FB as that is the only contact info I have. He unfortunately is not a member of the Lancia Motor Club. If you have any other contact info could you PM me. Thanks
Hi Tim
As said before Christophe Vaison is racing and preparing some Lancia 037 group B and maybe he could help you for this query
here his email address c.vaison@vaisonsport.com
thanks Frederic. I have emailed him. Fingers crossed.
