Title: Fanalone for sale RHD - need deep pockets... Post by: peteracs on 28 November, 2015, 02:51:24 PM Hi All
Just seen this, may have been for sale for a while, but looks like a nice car, but maybe a tad on the expensive side even for one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A-Very-Rare-RHD-Lancia-Fulvia-Rallye-Series-One-1-6HF-Fanalone-Homologation-/281868731843?ul_ref=http%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F0%2Fe11021.m43.l3160%2F7%3Feuid%3D0d6419dc93424014bad57cf844d5b3e8%26loc%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%252Fws%252FeBayISAPI.dll%253FViewItem%2526item%253D281868731843%26srcrot%3De11021.m43.l3160%26rvr_id%3D0 Peter Title: Re: Fanalone for sale RHD - need deep pockets...

Post by: Paul Greenway on 28 November, 2015, 04:05:27 PM If someone with 'deep pockets' really wants one then this is probably as good as it gets for a RHD Unmolested example. If my numbers came up a Fanalone would be in my collection and I would consider this one -hopefully with a little bit of negotiation though. Did Fanalones not have 130bhp rather than the standard 115bhp? Title: Re: Fanalone for sale RHD - need deep pockets...

How do such photographically illiterate people get to sell such fine Fulvias? Is it a marque specific ailment? Someone in Paris would be turning in his grave if he were dead!

Peter Very fair price I would have thought ;D Robin. Title: Re: Fanalone for sale RHD - need deep pockets...

Interesting car though... Title: Re: Fanalone for sale RHD - need deep pockets... Post by: stanley sweet on 30 November, 2015, 10:25:57 AM I've seen a few Fanalone's at 60K over the past year so this is a jump in price. Bad news for anyone wanting to own one and seeing them go out of reach but also good to see people waking up to how good these cars are. I have never understood the disparity between say an Alfa Bertone and a Fulvia, whether 1300 or 1600. Given the Fulvia's competition record it's a mystery. I can only put it down to the relatively simple engineering approach of Alfa and the thought that no proper sportscar can be FWD.

Post by: frankxhv773t on 30 November, 2015, 08:16:54 PM Stanley, I also put it down to Alfa being permitted to continue making some smashing looking cars so there continues to be a supply new owners who discover their classic models. Most younger car enthusiasts (in Britain at least) don't even know Lancia exist and even if they recognise the Stratos or Integrale they don't make the connection with a long heritage of exceptional cars.
