Anyone had a Fulvia?

[ettore]

Have been offered a (seemingly) nice Fulvia Zagato and am tempted as a nice runaround.

It`s a 1300 so not the largest engine but it seems to be in reasonable order.

Are there any particular problems that I should look out for?

Thanks chaps

So, trim is impossible to replace?

Obviously I shall scrutinise the bodywork with a fine toothcomb but are there any common mechanical maladies to watch out for?

[ettore]

Thanks for all the information - I`m off to look at it this evening so I`ll let you know if it`s a goodun`!

[ettore]

yes did have fun!

Have to say it was a lovely car to drive - really reminded me of how good a lightweight FWD car can be. Mechanics seemed up together (bar a grumbly bearing)and the interior was in excellent order. However the bodywork was not as good as it initially appeared and shows signs of relatively advanced corrosion.

Having it checked at the w/end to see if it`s worth doing anything with. If not, it`s definitely re-ignited an interest in old lancia`s...

(did see the one in C&SC and it looks a reasonable buy)

Unfortunately not - the barsteward has decided to keep and spend some money on it!

However I`m pretty sure that I need to add a classic to the fleet in pretty short order!

Current top 3 are;

1) Lancia Fulvia/Flavia
2) Alfa 1750 GTV
3) 2.4 911S

I can`t seem to find many good `uns though!
