I have sadly sold my 1600Hf which I have been restoring over the last year. It is on it`s way to a new owner in Hong Kong who is going to give her the treatment she deserves!
Anyway, here is my replacement to sit along side of my Fulvia Zagato.
I am sure some of you out there already know this car.
This is the GB Engineering built HF with Auto Integrale built engine developing I am told, somewhere in the region of 150BHP!
Gorgeous Monster!
The car has many tricks like Fanalone arches, Italian nose cone, GT40 Dashboard switches, Abarth steering wheel, perspex windows.
Six years have been spent building this car & the list of goodies is endless!
Guess I will get Jonathan to join me at Goodwood Sprints!
1,6 HF

Congratulations! It's always sad to see a car go, but that's one hell of a replacement to console yourself with--looks like a very serious piece of kit.

Hi Ed
She only arrived this afternoon & I am yet to check her out.
I will be firing her up in the morning & maybe going for a Test Drive!
It is a series 2 (1972) car with series 1 doors etc.
I just need to add the Marlboro Graphics & Cibie`s to the nose!
The petrol tank in the trunk is a work of art!

Thats one nice Fulvia, lovely piece of work by GB!
I saw the article a while ago (still have it on disc if don't already have it), and a hell of a lot of work spent on it, will be great to see it out and about, especially with the full graphics package ;)

Absolutely fantastic car and I can't wait to get out on the track and see what our cars can do.
Big congrats to you on a great buy.

Spyder,

Hi Mark
Is it the article in "Retro Cars" that you are refering to?
If so would love a copy!

I cleaned out the fuel bowl this afternoon & this beast fired up straight away after 3 years sitting under a dust cover.
The car sounds awesome
Everything works as it should & just requires a nearside front tyre for the MOT. I will also do an oil & filter change
I cannot wait to drive her down the street!

For those of you that have emailed me, here are a few more pictures of this car.
Picture 5 shows the fire breathing engine!
