as "LANCIA BERLINA"  Elegantly- Waisted-We bag a drive in a Super -Rare Fulvia"
Can't wait to see where the waisted bit comes in! at least it isn't spelt Wasted!
They must work to a long lead time as it actually took place in January.

Mind, I never knew she was part leather!
Pleased overall with the write up, although Autocar road test of 30th October 1964 gives top speed as best at 94 and 0-60mph in 18.2 seconds, the overall fuel consumption Bears out what I actually get of around 24-25mpg, not entirely unexpected as the kerb weight is just under an imperial ton, and as tested by Autocar the 2c weighed in at 22.4 Cwt. all being pulled around by 1091cc.

I also enjoyed the Catalunya report and images in CCW but wish they could get my captions right!

Hi Brian,
             I didn't realise your Fulvia was in CCW until I turned the page to see you & FAY on 3 sides  :o. What a nice surprise & makes a change from reading about her coupe sister. In the photos she looks really classy & in great condition, credit must go to you for keeping her in such fine fettle  :).
                                                 Cheers, Rob
