It's the S from France through Tony at Fulvia Classics prepared for Sprints and Hill Climbs.
Got the Alloy panels and the motor has been modified.
Not to everyone's taste but certainly ours Andy.

That's where mine came from, his cars are strong money but always well sorted, nice bloke a bit like our Mr Grace, the best cars at the right price

Mine is a real Montecarlo but it has alloy panels, bucket seats and magnesium wheels all fitted in period but they also annoy the purists - I love it and that's all that matters

Love these, have been thinking about selling the Biturbo when it comes back from Shiltech and getting one, don't mind which model really as they're all appealing. For some reason a lot of people don't like the later cars with the raised outer headlamps for the UK market, I don't mind at all as ironically it makes them look even more Italian.

I'm not a fan of the UK lights on later cars but regardless its the way they drive, even more remarkable when you realise they have leaf springs and less than 100 BHP for anything other than the HF cars

The domestic thumbs up has been given if I'm ever in a position to cram another Italian in somewhere, she saw two Fulvias side by side at a show a few years ago and loved the look of them.

A Fiat 850 sport coupe in the background of the top pic. Super rare, I remember my brother and I getting one up to (indicated) 100mph downhill on the M56. My dad had 3, first written off by said brother, second with the tail flick, engine blew as timing chain slipped and third as a donor car for number 2 which as a 14yr old I got to strip everything else that may be of future use. Happy days.

Nick is quite a lad; when over and above in helping me when I was trying to get the 156, he also had my spare 2.0 Twinny engine, which I regretted as I had need of it myself a couple of months later when mine ran out of oil!

When living in the Bristol area I used to see him all-over the place especially the Queen's Square meet ups and of course the Auto Italia events a really nice guy.
