LANCIA

I never would have guessed you like the 037

 

I wish they would have featured the Lister Bell Stratos kit car since those are fairly cheap compared to the chopped up F430.

 

I believe they’ve done that before.

 

Longtime Italian car owner, but first time Lancia owner. Just bought this 1967 Lancia Fulvia Zagato from FantasyJunction. While I usually prefer original, unrestored cars, the previous owner had a no expenses spared restoration done of this car, and I thought it looked and drove magnificently. On its way to me...can’t wait to get it home.

Beautiful car! Nice acquisition. I like em brand new too. Those campy wheels, one of the best ever designs. Bravo!

 

Congratulations! I’ve always really liked the look but wondered how it handles given that it’s FWD. It’d great if you can share your driving impressions once you’ve gotten to know it...

 

Will do. Looking forward to it.

Transporter told me they are picking up the car on Tuesday to head East. I imagine it will take at least 5 or 6 days to get to me, if not more, based on past experience.

 

Ha! Watching Harry’s video was quite inspirational and motivating for me as I was considering buying the car. I really like his videos — just his views, none of the annoying, BS music (totally, my opinion, I know) with a lot of the car stuff on YouTube.

 

This is a jaw dropping example. I was tempted to pull the trigger myself! Please give us a full report.

 

Yeah, I just saw all of the photos on Fantasy Junction and the condition is stunning!

I’ve had the car now for a couple of weeks. Really a spectacular restoration. Makes great noises driving, but not over the top. A fun drive on the twisty rural roads near me. I can definitely feel torque steer at times given the fwd, but not a problematic feel, just different. Some photos from a recent C&C.

 

Very cool, thanks for sharing.

 

God I wish the fulvia was a rear drive car. It could've been an awesome competitor to the alfa gtv.

 

It was, even as an FWD car. Remember, it won a few rally championships.....

 

Fairly certain I rented a Flavia in Orlando a few years ago.

 

Somewhere in Rome there are Flavii spinning in their graves!

 

Glad you are an enthusiastic owner Kirk, your S looks great, I trust you are looking forward to the summer..
I'm happy to be joining your ranks. I'll be a first time Lancia owner in a month or so, having negotiated the private purchase of a '67 Sport Zagato 1.3 being restored, mildly modified. Not an S, but I'm excited for the day I can slide in behind the wheel and run it through the gears on some twisty Upstate roads.. it only has 4.. Dell'Orto carbs.. Euro headlights.. an early all alloy body w competition rims and NOS fender flares.. it'll be interesting. I'll be sure to share more pix when it has arrived safely in my garage..
Cheers,

I just read the Lancia Fulvia Gold Portfolio buyer's guide. I keep eyeing Fulvia's. My concerns are there are no twisties here in S. Florida. It is all stop light to stop light. Not sure that is where these excel. The other is AC.

But can't stop looking at them. . .

 

Just had my lancia out this Friday at a local business open house . Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

looks like engine is very far forward of the front axel?

 

Love that car Craig!
