Luvverlly.

Adan is a well known Lancisti in California and a great (Fulvia/Flavia/Flaminia) resource that is few and far between on the other side of the pond.

He also owns the lovely white series 1 Fulvia GTE Berlina that is in the background in some of the shots.

He is obviously a man of great taste. Shame there wasnt any footage of the GTE.

Beautiful film. So nice to see a well shot HD video which does justice to its subject.

The chap in the video - Adan Figueroa - wrote a piece on the GTE a while back at:

and you can see the car on YouTube (albeit not quite in the lovely HD the Coupé was featured in)...

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and while I concede that the Fulvia Coupe is prettier than a Fulvia Series 1 Berlina, you're not comparing like with like, Berlinas have their own charm and are completely different to drive than coupes, that doesn't mean less enjoyable or less capable, and in some respects they are nicer to drive, in particular the very supple suspension of the Berlina gives a better ride over rough surfaces; While those fitted with the 1300 engine such as the GTE, give very little away in the performance stakes

Hi Brian ... I think you've misunderstood what I wrote.
The word 'lovely' and 'coupé' in the same sentence was referring to the quality of the HD video shot by Adan that Sébastian found versus the more 'amateur' home video of the GTE on YouTube! I was not commenting on any beauty comparison between Coupé and Berlina!  :)

Thanks Scott,
My misunderstanding, I'm very protective of Berlina Reputations, sorry :-[

But quite right to be Brian IMHO.
I can think of several Lancia models where the reality is that the saloon is actually a much nicer 'package' to drive than the Coupe. Of course the number of us who know this is small.

LOL! No problem Brian! Hopefully you can now see that I certaintly wasn't in any way commenting on some subjective 'beauty' comparison!  :)

My post was in response to Chris who had said

and Justin who had said

All the best.

Pedant here!  He is a Lancisto - his wife may be a Lancista.  Lancisti is plural.

Thanks for the film! I havn't seen youtube for well over a year so I have now seen a few additions.Including the Vere Lancia Sport and The Gallery's Flaminia Sedan.
