If Fulvia Friday is now being furnished by people spotting Fulvias whilst on vacation, does that mean it’s becoming a thing? My thanks to Ian B, who spotted this Series 2 Fulvia while visiting his native England on holiday from Australia. The car is at a second-hand showroom owned by a guy named Dave Fox, in Stone, Staffordshire. His business […]

Porsche did it, and in marketing offices all around the automotive world, that’s supposedly made it OK for everyone to think they can do it. And maybe they can. But should they? From GoAuto ROLLS-ROYCE will next year decide whether to bring its much-rumoured SUV to market and already has internal design concepts on the drawing board. Nooooooooooo! The world
It’s Fulvia Friday once again. A quick one this week. No time for chatting. In the style of Rony Lutz’s Saab images, here’s a Fulvia Coupe in cutaway form. Click to enlarge.
At the last Lancia Fulvia Update, I’d started removing some exterior trim. The job continued today and true to form, I got over some previous frustrations and discovered some brand new ones! Last week’s frustration was the headlamp surrounds and a fresh air intake for the heating system. Let’s tackle those first…. I managed to get one headlamp surround off

This is the regular Senova D60, which has been on the Chinese market for

Welcome to the Friday Fulvia – a new (old) Lancia Fulvia photo every week! This week it’s a series 2 car, not badged as an HF but dressed up in rally colours nonetheless. My favourite bits on this car – the little mirrors (replicas available) and the blacked-out wheels. The blue Series 2 that lives here in Hobart has the
I’m offering up this video of the Jaguar Project 7 today for two reasons. 1. To show you why Jaguar seem to be doing so well at the moment. Proper quality. 2. To show you why Harry Metcalfe is quite possibly the best personality in motoring media. Harry Metcalfe, for those who don’t know, was the founder and editor of
I was watching a Harry’s Garage video last night and it prompted me to the fact that I hadn’t put together my video for my Porsche 968 CS yet. Bad me! OK, I’m no Harry Metcalfe when it comes to enthusiastic presentation. I have to get a little more comfortable in front of a camera. But here it is: my
If you’re not a fan of Christian Von Koenigsegg’s work then you need your head read. A Koenigsegg might not be your favourite super/hyper/uber car, but anyone with a love of things with four wheels ought to be able to appreciate the cars they build at Angelholm. This video is an interview with Christian Von Koenigsegg produced by EVO Magazine,
