'76 Lancia Fulvia Coupe FOR SALE :-( £1500

[Guest]

Been offered a P plate 1.3

Just failed test on three small holes in floor

Everyday motor, long term owner doesn't want to spend money on it.

What it worth?

All I can find out is it's 90hp, FWD, twin side draughts, 5 speed and one of the very last ones made.

 

Any help greatfully received!

What's he asking? I can't believe that the owner won't spend on it, they're worth a wee bit. Difficult to put a price on it without seeing it, but I've never heard of an MOT'd, running Fulvia for much less than 2-3 bags.

 

Edit: this one below for example, sold for nigh on £1500.

On a 1976 Lancia? They rot like a bastard and this one's seen 35 British winters.

 

Wait till you get the sill and floor carpets up and you find a damp mouldering mess of rust, underseal and previous bodges. Eight square yards of steel and 5 weeks later................

 

 

£500 if it's junk, maybe a grand if it's remotely saveable.

[Guest]

My thoughts exactly Rev.

When it comes to these things I have a very real outlook.

"See that little hole in the scuttle? Thats ravaged the sh8t out of the bulkhead" sort of outlook!

Going to look on Saturday.

As an aside, whats Datman like for buying from?

Just he has a 120Y estate for sale near me, £2k low mileage but very recent resprayed and the rear arches are plop and bubbling. Another tart it and sell it merchant?

[Guest]

Well, purchased the Fulvia on tuesday, through Central Nodnol with a trailer a foot wider than my car, thats a foot either side!

Got her home and sifted through some paperwork.

Have MOTs going back 18 years and lovely little side story and I have hisbusiness card too, that in the late 80s early 90s it belonged to the late John Langley the Telegraphs motoring correspondent.

Googled him and he drove a E type pre launch and got 149 in it up the M1

Then it gets weird, looked through the paperwork and he lived about 5 miles from me, so cars gone Kent, Bristol London and back to KEnt even more bizarelly he had the car serviced all those years ago by Gordon Streeter the Anglia racer who I used to help out racing! CUE: Twiglet Zone theme!

[Guest]

So how much welding is needed to it - cant be that bad if you went ahead and bought it. Any pictures of said beast?

[Guest]

Not too much at all needed. Only failed test 6 weeks ago.

If I could work out how to stick pics on here I would but I do cars and bikes not IT!

[M'coli]

Either host them somewhere like photobucket or send them to me - I'll pm an e-mail address if you need to.

[Guest]

Yes do that please! I can inundate you with racing chod from the Spa 6 Hour. Found chod in rural francaise and spotted chod haha!

[scooters]

[M'coli]

When they drop into my e-mail inbox, I'll post them up for him (perhaps after an, ^ahem^, short interlude... )!

[Guest]

[eddyramrod]

[trigger]

Wow! that is stunning! God knows what it's worth but I'd hit!

[retrogeezer]

[Guest]

You utter, utter bastard.

 

Bloody well done.

[cort16]

What a fantastic looking wee car. You lucky sod.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

WoW! I would SMASH that, what a honey

[hairnet]

**spaffs himself into a frenzy**

[pompei]

i was expecting to see a shonky has-been (like the '75 Fulvia I had) but that looks amazing! It's got an RH registartion so looks like it started life in Hull.

[Cavcraft]

Top bombing! What an ace looking car, especially the roof line which looks sort of exotic and classy all at the same time.

[Cavcraft]

Valuation?

Very, very nice!!! Never seen those 'lifted' main beams, seem to be GB-spec only, maybe due to minimum height of driving lights regulation? Normally the twin lights have the same height without that little 'wave' in the fenders.

I'm pretty sure that all markets got the 'step-front' lights at some point, it was a facelift that happened at some point, sometime around the beginning of the '70s I think. As far as I know the UK has always had the same lighting regs as mainland Europe so I imagine it was either with the American market in mind, or it was purely aesthetic.

[pompei]

From memory, I think they were UK spec only - one of the few "export modifications" to a car that looks better than the original design, IMHO.

[barrett]

Really? I always thought it was a universal thing. You're probably right though.

 

I have to disagree though and say the original design looks much better!
