Eager anticipation as this is due to arrive from Italy shortly - a 1972 Fulvia 1.3S

Interior is cloth and I might get it re-upholstered in leather - any recommendations for a good trimmer in the South-East / Midlands area?

Beautiful Fulvia!


Here is my Beta 1600 Coupe which I inherited from my late Father in South Africa, currently in storage having being re-commissioned in the UK.

Your Fulvia looks very tidy

Hopefully I won't be forming a too familiar relationship with a Lancia mechanic

Thanks for the trimmer reference

Spent last weekend at the Mugello Classico event. Absolutely brilliant weekend, a lap of the old, original Mugello road circuit and 5 laps around the Mugello track. Load of blasts around closed roads, Futa Pass being one of them..
The integrale is one of the best cars on these type of roads and it would take a very fast car and driver to be any quicker than this old girl...!!! biggrin



Oh.. and Sandro Munari said he quite liked the car too...!!!! smokin

It's a very pleasant drive - nothing really sporting, as you might expect with 38bhp (!), but it only weighs around 14cwt (the recommended tyre pressures are 18psi) so it's quite lively and certainly doesn't hold up most traffic. Series Two and Three cars got more power, but also gained weight; a local Series Three is noticeably faster.
It's very narrow, so feels a bit top heavy on corners, but it's still early days for me - I expect I'll get used to it, after all I drive an Austin Seven too! 50-55mph seems a comfortable cruising speed, so it's hardly ideal on motorways, but motorways are no fun in an elderly classic anyway; gearchange is a bit vague and not its best point, although others claim the gearchange is very good, so perhaps there's work to be done there... It has only done 80,000km from new, and has been standing since 1984, so there are a few jobs still needed!
Very comfortable to ride in, and it certainly turns heads! I love the pillarless construction:

I thought it was a shame that this thread was on page 4 so I thought I would add my Lancia to it.

I've been in love with Fulvias since I took this photo in 1971.
