Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF
Discussion
Well a little bit of good news and a bit of "sub-optimal" news.....
The car was trailered from the sellers' place to NY and is in a warehouse there ready for shipment. So that is positive, and a short distance on the map turns out to be quite a long distance in real life....
Anyhow, I sent the title documents to NY by Fedex. They picked them up within 15 minutes, and I was impressed. They made it all the way to Stansted, it seems and then..............
.....nothing. They have lost the title document/envelope. I went to my local depot and also emailed a director. As a result of the latter they are sending me updates as and when they say they would but no sign yet of the envelope. I am somewhat cross about that.
On the plus side the seller is willing to help and apply for a duplicate, but it tends to take 2-4 weeks.....
Lovely cars these!
Good friend had one a long time ago, when I was into Alfas, early - mid 90s.
Had been a nicer car to drive than my Alfetta GTV, was slightly jealous back then. In these times you drove them like you stole it, i.e. the way they intended to. Just lovely. Rode in tandem to Italy lots of times, was fun.
They are still reasonably priced, surprisingly.
Wonder what the parts situation is, somehow I'm tempted to have one, preferably in metallic brown.

Thanks chaps. Parts situation these days is fine for the most part, unless you need some specific trim items etc. But nothing like the MG availability.
Indeed in my teens/early twenties we did drive them “enthusiastically “. Looking forward to experiencing driving it again although I have lost that feeling of immortality that I had back then!
Bangerhoarder, great name !
