Please don't mention Fulvias, especially HFs

I had a Fulvia as my first ever car at 19 in 1986. Then another, then another, then another...

Ended up owning 5 1300's and culminating in a 1600 HF (MNX 329L) which was silver and stunning.

Sold it and bought an integrale Evo 1 - that was stunning when I sold it...

:-(

I bought my first car, also at 19, also in '86 too, my Stag.
Was thinking only yesterday as I paid £3,400 for it at 12 years old, it would be interesting if I had a copy of autotrader, the same weekly addition I saw my Stag for sale, what else was available for the same price, and what they are worth today, almost 30 years later!
Does anyone have a November issue from 86?!!! (Yorkshire area of course!)

My brothers Fulvia has now been finished after being off the road since 89.
After being in the family since 83 he has now sold it on with out telling me
Families eh.
Done in the style of our late Father's Jolly Club Cars of Milan which is nice.

Phil, that is just beautiful. Great work by your brother.

 

[mjheathcote]

Hope he doesn't regret selling it so soon after completion.
Value are riding high though...

 

[StuartW]

Great work to get it back on the road and loving the JC livery too - such beautiful cars

Love Fulvias and a HF would be a dream but prices are quite firm these days

Planning to go and look at one over the weekend

Mrs Z is not keen as I might be spending her RR replacement money again

 

[philw696]

Simple Fulvia HF goes up RR goes down

Agreed but it won't the Fulvia won't pull the roadblocker

Good luck, I hope it works out - they have aged so well and still look stunning

Classic design never ages, I think they are one of those just so right from day one designs. Simple elegance especially in S2 specification

 

[philw696]

Andy what was the Fulvia like ???

 

[zagatoes30]

Long story but lets say I still haven't seen it close up, the seller has been hugely evasive over the weekend so it has all been rescheduled to next weekend now. Sort of helps me actually timing wise the longer the better, gives me time to convince Mrs Z

Looking forwards to hearing more on this story.
I have many good memories of Fulvias as my Father had them when we were kids and they were proper Factory cars through the Jolly Club in Milan doing the RAC with them.
My twin brother had a HF in 83 at 21 and we had some epic trips in it around the UK.
