Car And Driver Blog on a Fulvia Coupe

[Timo04]

I came across this blog the other day and thought some Fulvia owners here on the forum would like to read it:

Very nice, Tim--thanks.

You are very welcome Ed, glad you liked it.

All in all I like this Car & Driver blog/article on the Fulvia Coupe too. It's always nice to see Lancia get some positive vibes in the "mainstream" motoring press. However I'm not sure how the author draws a visual comparison between the Fulvia Zagato and a Renault 17 Gordini. I don't see too much of a visual connection between the two cars myself. Then again not many cars compare with the Fulvia Zagato in looks. Either you like it, or you don't. It's all in the eyes of the beholder, I guess?

At any rate a good little piece on the Fulvia Coupe and the author appears to be a caring Lancista at heart.

The Fulvia Zagato is like almost all other Zagatos an aquired taste. Either you like it or you adore it. I personally adore it. Especcialy if it is fitted with flared wheelarches and campagnolo rims and the bumper bars are left off.
Apart from my nicely restored 1200HF coupe I have a Series 1 1300 Zagato sitting in the waiting room. It will be fitted with 6.5Jx14' steel borranis and HF seats trimmed in red or blue and aluminium flared competizione wheel arches. The exterior color is not quite descided upon but whenever I see a Lancia in Grigio Doncaster I think "that will be the color!"

I like the picture Jonathan.

There is no getting away from it Fulvia coupes and many other Italian cars definately look nicer without the bumpers!

Looks like a shot from the Targa Florio or some other Sicilian Road race!
The Fanalone looks totally at home!
