Other than "what a lovely thing" anyone seen that style of switch before?  Look easy to find and use with a glove on over a bumpy road.  Think they push-pull or twist?

Here's the correct sound track while looking at the photos.

Of course it doesn't sound as good as a Fulvia - and only a live rear axle.

Brilliant sound track David!

 The switches ( pull handles) are for bonnet release and radiator blind ( pull to close) and the other maybe hand throttle/ choke ( can`t remember)

Beautiful cars Oscas, as with most Italian cars of that period.

Love the battleship grey interior with just a few touches of leather. Pure class. As for the soundtrack - I think I'd have to develop some kind of in-car refuelling because I'd never stop driving it. Want to drive the Fulvia now but still salt about so I'll let it slumber under its cover.

Are the thick pigskin on the seats, and in particular on the door pockets and gear lever gaiter, and the damascened steering wheel spokes not perhaps a little inappropriate for a purposeful sports car?
