And very well engineered for that period and so advanced against the competition that had drum brakes, push rod engines and 4 speed boxes not cheap to buy though.

Agreed, as you know I missed the boat on the HF they just went out of the budget I could get past the wife, so I had to settle for a 1.3 version albeit it a genuine Monte Carlo version

As you know I love yours and would happily have a 1.3.

If you go back to page 5 of this thread you will see how I came about owning the ex Barry Whizzo Williams car.
Really enjoying ownership so far, so much so the Lambo has hardly been out of the garage since July.

A pair of Cibies and I think it’s complete. Anything missing?

 

[Scousegit]

Please shout if I’m starting to photo overload.

Is that a Scouse number plate on the Lambo? [emoji3]

 

[Scousegit]

It is, my mates call me Posh Scouse.

No but something it shouldn't have, all HFs have fixed front quarter lights, as far as i am aware, as do the real Monte Carlos and Safaris. Yours appears to have opening ones which I don't think is correct, are the doors aluminium?

Not surprising Fulvias are great fun to drive

The doors, bonnet and boot lid are aluminium and were fitted many years ago prior to the restoration.

So Alfaholics do the lovely restomod GTV’s, Eagle do their lovely E Type, Singer do 911’s, etc. etc. has anyone seen anything similar done with a Fulvia?

Tempted to do something similar with my 1600HF or would this be sacrilege?

I'd leave a 1600HF as is; personally, would start with a less rare/valuable car.

A nice picture from a good venue just over the bridge in South Wales where I have competed in my Mk 1 Golf GTi and a Sierra Cosworth 4x4 many times Caerwent MOD training center.
Yesterday was the Ross Traders 2020 historic classic road rally and here is a lovely picture.

I agree get a base Fulvia if you want to modify it, a Alfaholics style mod would be interesting although the Fulvia is pretty simple underneath which would limit options to a degree
