Anyone feeling very brave (or might need some parts for their Fulvia), saw this article in this months 'classic cars' magazine…

I think I've driven worse cars than that....

Its the sort that dealers lovingly describe as "a good basis for restoration". (you just need the world trade bank to finance it.)

I would love to know what exactly it is going to donate - but then again the B-pillar trim looks a good basis for a restoration  ;D

looks like the only parts worth having is the glass :'(

Bit like the donor car for my 2c, it was a Normale that had been owned from new! but eventually the owner parked it up and let it rot away in a bramble bush, we we went to pick it up,( I needed the glass) his wife said, " I don't know who you are but you're my friend for life, the fact that he had various lumps of Milleotto left lying around the place hadn't helped the situation.

Think I might have posted these before as they had already been reduced :-\

Tempting, it is only a 500 mile round trip with a trailer for me....
I wonder whether he will get to complete the one he just bought since he didn't touch these for 14 years.

I agree with you Jai, if you have left cars like this rotting for 14 years you are very unlikely to complete anything! ;)

C'mon Jai, follow your temptation: your return to the Fulvia-ownership fold is overdue. :)
All the best

But Andrea, surely it is more conveniently located for you in Trieste, and you only have four Fulvias after all  :)
