How green was my rally!

Thanks again Chris and William for the very useful advice. In the meantime the front screen shattered (!), and I have the front inside screen surround off whilst removing the broken glass. If the back is the same then the screens don't need to come out, just all the surrounds removed. The tension of the headlining does seem fine though, and I don't think it would be possible to make it much tighter. So I'm more inclined to think it needs stronger bows. If they were round wires it would be easy to replace with fibreglass or carbon, but as they are flat that is much more complicated! ONce I expose a bit of it I can then see if the roof insulation is too thick.

I'll raise you on the green front...................

This sold for a bargain price - £2592.  Fixing the brakes would be a modest expense.   RHD, but with Italian instruments.  Heaps of sliding pillar and V engine fun for little money

To my great surprise, i realise I still have the hardly used ( if at all?) cylinder head B20 0012 referred to earlier with photos here in Sunningdale Berks.
The price of good used OE Aurelia spare parts continues to rise year on year regardless of car prices themselves but in the case of this cylinder head the price remains at £1,650 + delivery for the next 4 weeks or so.
After that, if unsold, I will most likely put it on ebay and also the Aurelia Facebook page, probably at a higher price..

thanks for the replies and the trouble of measuring up, the results are exactly what I suspected, the 2nd series grill fouls the wings in the top and is too short....and indeed, i thought to remember the badge was enamel, not plastic.

unbelievable story this...even friends can't be trusted anymore...really really really disappointed....

I am also about a year into ownership, as per Howard. Lots wrong with my car imported from S.Africa. I don't have Howard's skill set so have spent a lot of money, much wasted, at a very well known Fulvia establishment.

Car currently with Lancialulu, in very safe hands I feel.  If Tim comes up trumps in time will be on a ferry tomorrow week for a drive around Asturias, then Pyrenees, S.of France and then to Italian lakes. 1965 Sunbeam Alpine is my 'fall back'.

I think that Mantua might be one of my favourite places in Italy (apart from Turin, of course).


As for the car, how much more green could it be?  And the answer came: None.  None more green.

It's a whole lot better condition than the last one I saw for sale. Was it done by Viotti?

Thats it Brian!!!!! Thank you.
