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, […]
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……
I watched the new Petrolicious video this morning. It’s called “Traumatic Bonding” and it’s about a guy who bought a Lamborghini Urraco back in the 1980’s and subsequently spent a whole bunch of time and money fixing the car up.

I recently purchased some Lancia Fulvia documents on a CD and included was a whole swathe of Fulvia photography – the sort of stuff I used to scour the internet for in the Saab days. Press photos, advertisements, artistic interpretations. All sorts of stuff. So welcome to Fulvia Friday. I’ll kick things off with this interesting Fulvia from the Turin
Jay Leno gets all sorts of cool stuff coming through his garage. Most of it he owns, but occasionally he brings in someone else’s car to show it off. Such is the case with this Lancia Fulvia Sport.

Things have been busy with my guitar building course taking up so much time, so it’s been hard to find time to do anything with my new Lancia Fulvia. Here are the first photos of the car. I haven’t cleaned up a single thing yet so you’re seeing it warts and all. It was good to finally take a close
