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 […]

It’s been a big week in the world of Saab with a potential sale looming that could see the company get a rare third chance at life in the post-GM era. There is a letter of intent in place so Saab fans do have the possibility of a positive outcome with regards to the company’s future. But in truth, the

Spyker Files For Financial Restructuring Most of the people who visit this site would have been awake when this news came out but I was sleeping. Spyker N.V., together with its wholly owned subsidiary Spyker Automobielen B.V. today filed a voluntary petition for financial restructuring in an effort to address certain short-term operational and liquidity challenges. The District Court of

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

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
