Hi all. I just wanted to pass on the good news that my Lancia Fulvia was sold within a week. I’m really, really pleased with this sale not just because it’s happened – and happened so quickly – but also because the car is going to the perfect buyer. The Fulvia will be Ralph’s fourth Lancia restoration, so he’s obviously […]
Sadly, it’s come to this. My Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Rallye is up for sale. With Mrs Swade and I wanting to move house and the initial estimates on the restoration work being higher than anticipated, I have to offer it up for someone else to take on. It’ll be very sad to see this beautiful lady move on, but hopefully
When I first saw a Lancia Fulvia colour chart the idea of a grey Fulvia didn’t excite me too much. I still wouldn’t want a grey one, myself, but seeing this car today has caused a massive mindshift over the basic idea of a grey Lancia Fulvia. It’a also the best looking Fulvia-with-bumpers I’ve ever seen. I think it might
I’ll get to the Fiat in a moment….. I drove a few interesting cars on the weekend. Both experiences were unplanned. One car I drove with a view to buy and the other was purely for fun. Peugeot 205 GTI The first car was a Peugeot 205GTI. I stumbled across this one when I ran into a co-worker at Salamanca
It’s Friday, so that means it’s Fulvia time! Here’s a lovely little publicity shot. The HF is relaxing by the beach with a few friends, something we’d all like to be doing right now, I’m sure. Click to enlarge. Have a great weekend!
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
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
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
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
