My Lancia Fulvia is red. But before the previous owner painted it red, it was Mendoza Blue. I’m still trying to decide what colour to paint mine and it’s very helpful to see some good photos of a Fulvia in my original colour. The car shown below is currently for sale in the United Kingdom. It’s Mendoza Blue. This is […]
Occasionally I get tired of a formula, but Gymkhana 7 was a genuine and pleasant surprise when I woke up to it this morning. The ‘new’ Ford Mustang is outstanding. The locations seem instantly familiar (even to me) and aside from obviously doing this very early in the morning, I’m amazed at the fact that there’s barely a soul to

So where were we with the Lancia Fulvia? I’d been frustrated by the radiator and some headlamp surrounds….. Well, the radiator is gone, but the headlamp surrounds remain….. for now. As you can see, the grille isn’t in great shape. A few of the horizontal bars are no longer connected to their vertical companions and one of the corners was
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
So….. I didn’t just ponder the colour of my car on Sunday. I actually did a little work, too. My first job was to remove the clock from the dashboard, something I couldn’t figure out initially but took all of about two minutes once I saw the fixings at the back of the bracket. The dashboard is now completely clear

I found the following photos online. This car is for sale in England at the moment. It’s a 1967 Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Rallye. I’m posting the pics because I’m pretty sure this is (close to) my Fulvia’s original colour. —— It’s called Mendoza Blue. The pics above look a little green compared to the colour I see on my car,
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,
It’s the racers that inspire us, isn’t it? And did you know that the Lancia Fulvia was the last car to win what would be the predecessor to the modern World Rally Championship? Lancia went on to win ten WRC trophies after that, too, with the Stratos, the 037 and the Delta! Art mimicking life……
Spyker Evictor Is the Spyker Evictor…. A new electric concept car named after the modern founder of the company, or The landlord, who’s just taken the company to court over rent arrears? Sadly, it’s #2. Spyker has been ordered out of its premises within the next week after a Dutch court supported the landlord seeking rent owed to him by
