superb red car ! by a very strange coincidence i was only thinking of how good  fanalone seats would look in your sedan Alan and by further coincidence i went yesterday to visit the chap who now has mine from JLG who is saving them for a future project.i will dig out my targa 92 pics as there are a couple of sedans in there and perhaps scan them now that there is an interest in these cars.i would also be interested to know how light a sedan can be built.richard

Didn't realise they were Fanalone seats! anyone got a set they don't want Grin certainly better up your back than the standard seats.
Going by the red one there hasn't been any great attempt at "Adding" lightness, I think you'd always struggle to get a lot off as the body itself is quite a massive structure.
I'd be interested to see any photos you have.
Here's one of the red car being painted.

I've just been trawling www.autoscout24.de 11 Fulvia for sale.
www.autoscout24.nl   7  Fulvia for sale
www.autoscout.it  178 Fulvia for sale,  although there's about a dozen listed as Fulvia but aren't.
No Competion Berlina's at all but there were a few Coupe.
But how about this asking price for a series 1 Fanalone! Johnathan didn't you do well, certainly not as original as yours as it appears to be in the process of being resprayed. Grin

Hmmmm RED looks good. Pity the car posted by Brian is partly de-chromed around the rear - I think it would look great with the red colour.

I had no idea these cars had a competition history and am wondering why this would have been the case since the Coupe came out pretty soon after the Sedan and would have been as plentiful in supply from a serious competitor's perspective.

Re seats, I agree the HF seats look good but I'm afraid something more contemporary will be employed in my case - hopefully black and sporty but mainly comfortable.

Brian I meant the second photo was yours - they got re-sequenced in drafting! The rad flaps mechanism is indeed a wondersome thing to behold. I once dismantled a 1.3S coupe and I do have the fan and mounting pillar but I don't think that car had flaps mechanism. I think S2/3 used the fan pillar base to attach an engine stay arm and it makes me wonder how such a substantial support was omitted from earlier cars!

Alan,
Yes the Red does really suit the 2c, but like you I would like to see it with it's stainless mouldings around the rear as this really accentuates the lovely lines without adding much as far as weight is concerned, it seems daft to me to take them off but leave the very hefty stainless steel front and rear bumpers in situ, I can't also see that the hubcaps add that much either but probably weren't removed for that reason.
The 2c does have an engine steady that mounts between the block and the pillar of the fan, it's a fairly simple device compared to the one you refer to, as it only has a threaded screw with a pad and a piece of rubber on a base that is adjusted until it barely touches, this then stops the engine torquing too far.

It looks like they were only using the 2c as a stop gap until Coupe was ready, as in 1965 a 2c won the Rally dei Fiori crewed by Cella/Camerana, but also in 1965 the 1.2 Coupe made it's Debut on the Tour de Corse also crewed by Cella/Camerana, and came home 8th.
After it's first outing it seems the 2c never figured again as an official Lancia car, although they were still took part is rallying.
The next and only Fulvia outing in 1966, was on the Rally dei Fiori when a Coupe HF came home 1st crewed by Cella/Lombardini.

1967  saw Fulvia Coupe HF's entered for the first time in the Monte Carlo Rally,
2nd position was was taken by the Coupe HF crewed by Andersson/ Davenport.
 
4th was a Coupe HF Crewed by Cella/Lombardini.
 
5th a Coupe HFcrewed by Munari/Harris.

During 1967  Fulvia's also took part in five other events. and saw the first outing of the 1401cc prototype.

if you will  be going for the cutout in the bootlid to accomodate a filler cap i think the cap must not protrude

Bought my Fanalone minus the original seats and failing to find a set  modified a pair of S2 1600 frames and had them trimmed to the correct pattern.

After drying out in storage for a few months this Fulvia for 2013 is on the move again ...

 

With the help of my mate Colm who sorted out the electrics during the summer, I've got the car running and generally famliarised myself with it enough to develop an attachment to it and an interest in doing something with it for the Fulvia centenary.

The bottom 6 inches of the shell is very poor with almost no sill on one side, rear of front subframe mounting gone and the front of rear leaf spring hanger about to separate from the floor and rear valance and all 4 wheelarches crumbling but otherwise it is complete, original and generally solid, if a bit tatty- and neglected-looking. All of the chrome trims, etc. and the interior are present and in good condition and make the shell more worthwhile repairing as an alternative to seeking out a better one to re-shell it. SO I started to dismantle it. Everything came apart quite nicely and then it was time to remove the engine and subframe in the factory recommended manner ...

 

Eventually we reduced it to a bare shell (the dashboard, steering column and wiring loom came out later) ... and a pile of Lancia dust

 

My Lancia mate John helped with the dismantling and made up a Fulvia dolly in timber which should be useful for future operations of this kind (there are a few other Fulvias waiting in the queue that this car seems to have skipped) and then it was loaded on the trailer for transportation to Bill Lewis  ....

 

... so the car returns to within just a few miles of where I got it in Stafford last August! Bill is going to make up wheelarch panels, rear valance, inner/outer sills and other bits and bobs but he needs the car as a template to work from.  Bill also has a friend nearby who is experienced in welding relatively light panels to the relatively light Lancia metal so I thought that having the car stripped might facilitate this work if I decide to go that route after Bill has made the panels.

I am writing from the ferry en route to the NEC Classic Car show and will deliver the car to Bill near Market Drayton along the way .... then off down to the Forest of Dean to collect this ugly sister on the way home ...

 

Never a dull moment in LanciaLand

Alan,
If it makes you feel any better, Fulvia berlina S1 prices in Italy have risen slightly over the summer I reckon. Is this in anticipation of 2013....or supply and demand.....or old car prices generally?
In any case great news that you are bringing your car (with I think Jacky's old bootlid!) back to life.
