Lancia Motor Club

IMPORTANT MEMBER ACTION PLEASE – RETURN ENCLOSED THE POSTCARD IN YOUR APRIL VL

The Club is planning a signature event over the May bank holiday weekend in 2013  (Friday afternoon May 24th to 27th Monday morning).
  
This event will be based around the Annual LMC Goodwood track day on the Saturday 25th and will have a strong social side with Fulvia concours, Fulvia parade lap, and regalia etc. Lots of opportunities to meet up and enjoy a picnic! Fulvias and track day participants will have exclusive parking in the paddock area with the other Goodwood car-parks free to use by other LMC participants. The paddock area and track side will be free entry to attendees on the Saturday.

There will be a Gala dinner on the Saturday night, and a driving tour with some interesting stopping places on the Sunday followed by a farewell dinner on the Sunday. Some technical workshops on Fulviana are also being considered for the Sunday.

The event finishes after breakfast on Bank Holiday Monday allowing opportunities to visit more of the local attractions nearby before driving home.

A carefully chosen hotel will provide accommodation over the Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights – budget £500 per couple.
Participation of the Track day is optional at additional cost of around £180 for a day and around £100 for a half day. Participation of the parade lap will be at a nominal cost.

The planning committee NEEDS to know if there is sufficient interest in this event.

Please complete and return the enclosed postcard or you can register your interest via email to tim348@aol.com or you can send me (lancialulu) a Private Message through the forum. Please be specific about what bits of the weekend you are interested in.

IT IS OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS – NOT JUST FULVIA OWNERS! Please tell us if you will come and what car(s) you will bring. Can we beat 250 Fulvias target set 25 years ago?

Closing date for pre-registering is 31st May 2012.

Pre-registering is not a contractual commitment but enables the planning committee to shape the event to members needs.

There may be other LMC endorsed Fulvia 50 events during 2013, but this is the key event in the UK. PLEASE COMPLETE THE POSTCARD.

Here is a scan of the postcard.

Option 2 (though I may not stay in the hotel).
1972 Fulvia Sport.
No 95
David

So that's what the back of the card should look like

Mine is completely blank - wonder how many others were like that................
(has an address on the front but nothing else)

I was stunned to learn last night after submitting my 'postcard' by email, that my original offer of help, suggestions, and interest in Fulvia 50 2013 on a parallel thread in August last year was missed - see http://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4192.0 (http://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4192.0)

There is also another on http://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5001.0 (http://www.lancia.myzen.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5001.0)

May I suggest that these threads be combined with this one so that we are all on the same page please?  ;D

According to the card, we can pre-register on the forum on this thread?
So,
Chris & Jacky Gawne
Option 2
Fulvia Sport S1 Aluminium + Aurelia B20GT Srs III
membership No 931

Thanks Chris

Your interest is logged.

Guy - have sent you an email!

Tim

Thanks Tim,

I also received an email from Sarah confirming my interest in the Fulvia 50th.

Thanks also to Stu for moving the parallel thread. :)

It seems we pre-register on this thread.

So, David Wheeler No 95, 1972 Fulvia Sport 1600, weekend but not track.

I shall stay with my cousin in Ringwood. 

I live in Carlisle and got the Aprilia to Goodwood last year so, even if it is a long way, it does not happen so often.  After all, I drive the Lambdas to Fobello every 5 years.  Cone on, wimps!

An idea for those covering distance is to agree, like with a Monte Rally, "convergance points" and travel onwards on a common route.  Have I got the right phrase?   Its the sort of thing friends might arrange between themselves for a smaller event.

David

That's a good idea (DavidL) - nearer the time, we should create a thread for "Travelling Routes for Fuliva 50" sort of thing - which can then be self organising.

Tim

Option 2 weekend but not trackday at least not to drive on track! Hotel will depend on cost, car will depend on whats running.

Don

Don W and David W

Many thanks. You have both been pre-registered. Sarah will provide an email confirmation.

Tim

Hello Tim,

Option 2, unlikely but might consider half day on track but Mrs D will be bored to tears after an hour, (it's not really a spectator sport is it?).
Plan to bring Fulvia Coupe ! otherwise Montecarlo.

Martin & Libby Dowling  no. 13541

Tim,

I know the deadline for pre-registering for the Fulvia 50 event was yesterday, but I thought I would give a response anyway. I left it to the last minute to see if I could find a rush of enthusiasm for the £500 package and the finance to go with it could tempt me into signing up for more than than the lesser options.

Sadly it doesn’t and I will go for option 4, which is just to attend on the Saturday.

I will be coming in my Fulvia – an early Sport with 1600HF running gear. Membership number 275.

For what it’s worth, I guess most members who pre-register will do so because they want more than the turn-up-on-the-day option. My estimate is that for every member going for the package, there will be four or five like me who just turn up on Saturday.

Picking up on David Laver’s suggestion – it would be good to have rendezvous points on the route to add more interest.

It’s a long way ahead, but good for you for planning in this way.

Colin

I would like option 2, Weekend but no track. If the car is ready , which it should be . Thanks. David.

I am not sure if this latest development in the Fulvia 50 domain has been posted before but Andrea Nistri has organised a meeting of 25 to 50 cars in Northern Italy for the weekend after the Goodwood event. I attended a similar celebration for Flavia 50 organised in 2010 and can thoroughly recommend the organisation and hospitality of Andrea and his organising associates.

It would be possible to attend the Goodwood event one weekend and then spend the week (if you can spare the time) travelling to Italy for the following weekend. Thats what I plan anyhow ...

Details from Andrea are as follows:

European Fulvia 50 anniversary meeting

Next year (2013) is the 50th anniversary of the first appearance of the Lancia Fulvia, a magnificent car with a long history of sports and commercial success. To celebrate this anniversary, there is a plan to hold an international Fulvia meeting in Italy driving on the mountain roads where Fulvias had a lot of rallying success (Rally of the Eastern Alps). It is worth considering that this area is not overwhelmed by mass tourism and offers genuine character and relatively empty roads.

The main meeting location is about 1200 km from Dover via Germany and Austria and can be even driven in a Fulvia in one day as it includes motorway virtually all the way from Calais or Dunkerque. Those preferring motorail services can use a good train link from Northern Germany.

The meeting is not a competitive event and will not include any ability or time trial. It will be an opportunity to know and enjoy an Alpine region stretching across Italy, Slovenia and Austria with the opportunity to visit historic and art-famous sites, taste local gastronomy and top-quality wines. The preliminary program is prepared to cater for diverse interests and tastes.

Meeting dates:
Start: afternoon of May 30th; End: after lunch of June 2nd.
Hotel (with swimming pool and ample reserved car park) in the historic town of Cormons, Italy.  

Provisional program:
May 30th: get together wine tasting, registration and dinner at hotel.
May 31st: Alpine tour through Eastern Italian and Slovenia Alps with coffee breaks and lunch on route. Dinner at hotel.
June 1st: Mountain drive through the hills above the town of Cividale with stop at local monastery and lunch in town followed by guided tour of this historic town. Gala dinner at hotel.
June 2nd: visit of medieval town of Venzone followed by buffet lunch in Tarvisio at the border with Austria.

All inclusive cost per two people will be just under 1000 euro including 3-night accommodation, all lunches and dinners with wine, tickets for visits, etc.

Although the meeting will be celebrating the Fulvia launch, all historic Lancias are very welcome.

Thank you Alan for posting this - completely forgot....

I met with Andrea and he showed me around.

It is a very interesting part of Italy close to the Slovenian border and roads are reasonably empty and good driving.

This event goes more under the heading of a meeting rather than a rally....

For those thinking of driving through Italy give Milan a 50km exclusion zone. Roads are bad and congested.

Dolomites are a great area to drive afterwards. On my recent journey I also took the train back to Dusseldorf but didnt get much sleep despite the great pizza and beer at the station. Interestingly I asked to be loaded near the front as I had a tight drive to Hook from Dusseldorf. The station operatives said that would be no problem and loaded me at the back! to compound matters the train picked up more cars and bikes in the night (Munich?) so I almost drove to Calais as time was running out. Luckily no one lost their keys or was on the wrong train.... Got to Hook with 10 minutes to spare.

Sounds great but would break the bank!

Peter dont join the "I cant afford a bag of chips" on us. Sell a car and come!!

Ah, but nobody is buying. Can't give the poor little Appia away. Someone is missing out on a real treat. Of course, could always sell a watch.

Peter
did you take the Appia to Angouleme as a Brit friend who lives in the Dordogne and has a Fulvia and spotted a Brit Appia but couldn't see the driver, and I immediately thought of you?

Whenever I look back at old photos I usually find something else of interest, including the relatively poor quality snap of my Flavia Vignale taken at the LMC’s Fulvia 25 event in September 1988 at Goodwood.

My purpose in posting this now is show how primitive Goodwood was 25 years ago, compared to how retro-glitzy it has become, and how it might look for the Fulvia 50.

Colin

BUMP!

In preparing a 2013 calendar of events with web links for our Lancia Ireland members last night I noticed that apart from Tim's original notice below and another derelict Fulvia 50 thread nearby, there appears to be no update or currently active point of reference/info for this event on the forum and it is not listed in the calendar. Worse, it seems to have dropped out of the Viva Lancia forthcoming events section in recent months too, having been eclipsed by a number of other Fulvia celebrations!

Hi Alan,

I've linked this thread onto the forum calendar.

The event is also listed under the LMC website calendar and the www.fulvia50.co.uk with Peter Gerrish is listed at the contact.

Steve

all details will be in next VL with booking form.

Tim

That is mighty Thankyou! - best candidates for the task of fixing it have done their thing. For a landmark event it was becoming a bit obscured/eclipsed.

I have found that you have to bombard all sorts of different groups people left rignt and centre in order to pull a crowd in the end though I may be wrong as the biggest crowd I have ever pulled is about 30!

Are we also inviting interest from Fulvia owners outside the club or is it strictly confined to members on account of the Goodwood hire aspect?

Reminds me I better attend to my own membership or I may never get to read the answer (or find out what Chugga did next)!

Alan

the event is open to all, and indeed we are going to invite other Lancia Clubs as soon as VL has arrived for LMC members.

Naturally most of the interesting elements will require membership but other Lancia club membership can I believe suffice but for the track I believe day membership will be required for insurance purposes - maybe someone on the committee can expand on this question of insurance.

Hoping for a grand turnout!

Tim

Has anyone posted details on pistonheads in the Alfa, Fiat & Lancia section maybe?   It would be nice to have a large attendance to encourage interest in the marque. 

Have any of the magazines expressed any interest in covering the event?

With the snow gone, heavy rain to wash salt off the roads and the sun out it could be time for a drive!

We (www.retro-speed.co.uk) have already carried an intro and will include the full release once the details are carried in V/L. That is unless Tim wants us to go ahead?

Like you Jonathan I thought, at last a dry day so I can take "Fay" for her first run since New Years Day at Brooklands, a lot of roads were still damp, but it was nice to get behind the wheel and to give her a 30 mile run, however she didn't seem to be pulling well, but she sounded ok ???
When I got back to my garage, I opened the bonnet and flicked the throttle swivel lever whereupon the reason became apparent, the nut for the bolt that holds the swivel on was just about to part company with the bolt, so everytime I pressed the throttle the complete mechanism was flopping about with loads of lost movement at the throttle, soon had that tightened up and all is now well, but why should it have come undone in the first place, never done so before in the last 13 years, so why now?
Brian

Hi Brian. Take it back under w/tee.

They were gritting in Colchester as we got back after a run out in Rosie our Gamma. Leaving it out side to get a free wash tomorrow!!

Tim

Sorry Peter,
I'm not with you?

Brian
8227 8)

Take it to your local Lancia dealer, maybe he will fix it under  guarantee. Ha.

Form sent off tonight :) :) looking forward to a great event ;D

Looking forward to joining the celebrations but will the Fanalone make it? :o

A lot of midnight oil to be burnt me thinks!

Robin.

Robin - and I thought I had a lot to do to Carol's "Tigger".  ::)  That's more like burning the candle at both ends - good luck!

In fairness that picture was taken on Christmas Eve and a good deal of progress has been made already.  ;D

Robin.

cant wait to see it. colour? gearbox?

Gearbox. We have all the parts now but needs re-assembling, probably not by us.

Colour? Emmm.... I favour Orange which is what it was when Barry Waterhouse rallied it but Jonathan is not so keen. Need to decide soon!

Robin.

Come on Robin, we all know you like  a challenge !!!

As for colour, I agree with you, orange just as Barry had it  !!!

                                              Andy

Looking forward to seeing the car at goodwood - form sent off already

Orange with the authentic orange peel texture?

David

For anyone would would like the electronic version of the LMC Fulvia 50 booking forms and track day forms and the pdf of the VivaLancia details these are attached.

Tim

Filling out the booking form for Fulvia 50 I notice that unusually you are not asked which car you are planning to come in. I feel that it would be a pity to miss the opportunity to provide an entry list that would no doubt be of interest to members in years to come and also a useful addition to the club archive.

It is entirely likely that many Fulvias will turn up on the day unannounced and it might be a good idea to have a Visitor's Book to add them and their owners to the list.

Robin.

That's a good point Robin

We can do that using the database , if members wish to ? We can also complete the list retrospectively by recording the cars that turn up.

You can register a car you own by logging onto the database http://www.lanciadb.co.uk , clicking on the "Fulvia 50th" event on the front page then you'll see on the next screen a dropdown list of your cars. Just select the car you're bringing and it'll be registered to the event. I can produce a simple list for everyone from that (ie: spreadsheet) (with pictures too I guess)

As an added bonus, if you go and register your car you'll also be able to see other members who've registered.

can't see a drop down with my cars, so I cannot register or see who has registered :(

Hi Roger, I missed that comment - sorry for not getting back ! You're not showing as owning cars currently in the database so that would explain the empty dropdown. You should see the people registered - unless it's just me as admin that can see them !

Anyway, the reason for the post on here was I was going to Goodwood for the social and wondered what the ETD was from the hotel on Saturday - as I'll be driving past it on the A34 ....

Those with morning or all day track reservations I suspect will be leaving the hotel quite early (certainly before the hotel is up for breakfast as a doggy bag has been organised). I plan to be at the track by c 7.45am! There has been no suggestion of going in convoy but I probably would not want to do that anyway (getting last minute petrol etc).

Tim

Anyone know if the Aero Club at Goodwood will be open for lunch?

It wasn't a couple of years ago and a burger from the chuck wagon isn't my kind of thing.

Martin.

Believe the aero cafe and Naafi (?) wagon are open. But why not bring a picnic??

"Believe" ? Hmmmm
Fortunately Brian has confirmed that it actually is open.

I don't know what weather forecast you've been listening to Tim, (or you're a lot tougher than me), but I don't call it picnic weather.

However, see you on Saturday.

Martin.

Its English to picnic in the rain ;D

Very English.

This isn't the Rover Enthusiasts Club, or some other boring English marque. I hoped for a bit more la passionata rather than pass the umbrella !

In fact it is a slightly international gathering so hopefully the rainclouds will stay away and the sun will shine so that we can parade in our Fulvia 50 t-shirts (with suitably matching other attire of course) and the brolly of introspection, charming and all though it is, can remain folded and furled....

Saturday seems a long way off from where I'm sitting - is this a sign I might be turning "English" in anticipation?

Gents, I live just a couple of miles from Goodwood and the weather for Saturday will be fine.
Am; Sunny/Sunny intervals. Wind:10-12 northerly turning north-westerly pm. Ok, not as warm as we'd like but still ok for alfresco dining.
Looking forward to seeing lots of Fulvia's........... i remember Fulvia25!
Trev.

Taking HF in to local dealer for a couple of last minute jobs and an MOT. Hopefully.

Poll

WHere can we get Fulvia 50 Tee Shirts from?
Brian
8227 8)

Done! What a lovely piece of paper a current MOT is.

Hope some regalia will be at Goodwood but the supplier is very good. See an earlier VL for details. You can ring him and discuss your requirements especially if the range pictured is not to your liking. Ie I ordered a rugby shirt.....

Tim

Agreed, Peter! only downside is I've now got another late night tying up all the loose ends to get the Fanalone to Goodwood tomorrow!

Robin.

Good luck Robin, hope it all comes together in time.

Have a great time everyone, I'm feeling jealous !!!

                                Andy

A few pics from Fulvia 50 today. See if you can guess who the last photo is!!!

What a day, what a turnout...

Now what percentage of all road registered Fulvias were there?

http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/combined/lancia_fulvia

David

A very nice day

Wonderful day, really enjoyed it and surprised to be introduced to you Richard by Robin when we were both admiring the Fulvia :)

I've uploaded a couple of pictures and they're now on the LMC website on club news. If anyone else wishes to send photos (or upload them then please do). I'd also like a review of the Fulvia50th event (when finished!) then that will be on the website ... enjoy yourselves!

I am really sorry that my Fulvia and I missed it! It will still be a few weeks until my shoulder is repaired enough for me to drive. Any chance of a re-run of the whole thing in September? (Only joking!)

Colin

I made it eventually but missed most of it due to the M25 living up to it's reputation for being the Worlds largest car park! 2 hour to get from Junction 21 (M1) to Junction 11 Chertsey, I saw Robin, but not his Fanalone, Robins guest Tony Seiler? from SA, pointed out my brake fluid resevoir was a bit low something I hadn't noticed, Thanks Tony,  missed Richard and many others altogether, caught up with another couple of faces to add to the names from the Forum, but being awarded best Fulvia Berlina in the concours made up for a lot, although no trophy attached! Also made a change as there were 5 or 6 Berlinas there as opposed to it normally being me & "Fay", and a with a bit of luck a series 2 Berlina. Loved Chris/Jackie Gawne's Fulvia Series 1 GTE Berlina. from what I did see it was a fantastic gathering of Fulvias and I was surprised by the number of sport Zagatos.
Commisserations go to Simon Parke who dropped a valve on his Fanalone.

4 hours to get there, 2 hours to get home.

Brian

Lovely weekend, thanks Peter et al for organising, enclosed a couple of pictures we took

regards
Richard

A great weekend and Jacky and I enjoyed meeting some new (to us) Fulvia owners. The driving route on Sunday morning to Beaulieu from the hotel through N Hampshire was very special  and took us through villages and scenery we did not know existed. Full marks to the organisers. Our GTE did more miles this weekend than the total completed since we acquired it and it drove beautifully. And good to priovide Brian with some competition in Berlina concours!
Thanks very much again to Peter and the team.
Chris & Jacky

Chris, glad to hear that you enjoyed my route to Beaulieu! Ade.

A great day and thanks to all those who organised everything. 

My photos are here:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/96481897@N02/?details=1

Thanks Richard, that's my red HF in the piccy, I was behind you  :)

We thought the route was one of yours Ade. The beauty of N Hampshire on Sunday morning was quite something.....and we simply didnt really know it existed! Quite humbling actually.
Chris

Well done Peter and all the Fulvia 50 team, a most enjoyable weekend, interesting drive to Beaulieu we had to make a few U turns (not too many!), we found a nice pub en route for a spot of lunch which delayed our arrival at Beaulieu, but it was worth it. 

Many thanks Peter and the team for a memorable event to celebrate Fulvia 50. The weather was the icing on the cake!

So many lovely Fulvias and great company.

Robin.

............... may I also say thanks to all of you who’s time & effort went into arranging a special weekend. I was only able to attend the Goodwood track day, but am still smiling at the thought of my little Fulvia dancing around the track. It was great to see so many other Fulvia’s and their friendly enthusiastic owners. Thank you. Trev . 

Many thanks to everyone involved in the organisation of a wonderful event.

After sending Carol's Fulvia "Tigger" from South Africa to the UK in December 2012, and finally getting insurance, MOT, UK registration on the Wednesday before, and sticking the new rear number plate on using Velcro on the Friday, we made it!

For a change we resisted the temptation to rise early, and instead enjoyed the luxury of the hotel and spa, though we had to tear ourselves away from the many delightful late-night conversations with wonderful Lancia friends old and new.

Our Club Librarian Chris Hopkins deserves a special mention for showing how to recruit new members by volunteering to drive my daughter Lorraine around Goodwood on the parade lap - she's still raving about it!

Would anyone have the results of the Concours event at Goodwood?.........there were so many lovely cars in attendance.

I know that the 100 or so Fulvias that turned up to Goodwood were prepared to a very high standard and it a big congratulations to everybody to bought their Fulvia along to make the day. And thanks to all the other members who came and participated whether on the track or as spectators. The photos on the grid shot shows how many were on the grandstand looking on.

I will be writing up for VL

What a great weekend and what a brilliant day at Goodwood.

A big thanks to all the organisers/volunteers - a lot of very hard work was appreciated by members and their families etc.

Here's to next year.

Tim

Tim,

Thanks - looks like a good list of winners and no doubt lovely cars.

Colin

May I echo my thanks to the organisers of this event too.
I turned up in unintentional convoy with two other coupés to be met with a paddock of every type of Fulvia imaginable! What a wonderful sight!
Here are a few pictures of my own to share:

Hi All, The photos of Goodwood are excellent, does anyone have any of the non-Goodwood parts ie: Hotel or Beaulieu or Hampshire so I can add them to the website news ?

We will have a report and image gallery live by midnight tonight at www.retro-speed.co.uk.

Hi Steve, my photos of Beaulieu are here https://www.facebook.com/RetroPart#!/media/set/?set=a.660056467345237.1073741828.418996068117946&type=1 (https://www.facebook.com/RetroPart#!/media/set/?set=a.660056467345237.1073741828.418996068117946&type=1)

I'll be adding others later today.

Steve, some non Goodwood photos:

Just to add to the thanks, I came on Saturday and very much enjoyed the day out. I've never seen so many lovely Fulvias, the condition seems to be improving over time. Actually in view of the efforts made by many to get their cars running for the weekend, it must have improved the lot of the Fulvia, raising the average standard considerably.
Fulvia 51, anyone?!

Thanks all, I'll add a review onto the website at lunchtime , cribbing from this thread ;)

That's now been done and the club news should update within an hour or so ... I've posted more than the two pictures, the others are available through the library.

*BTW If you go looking at the website for club news, don't forget that it is produced in reverse order of the event starting so Fulvia 50th is before the Goodwood Trackday :) - this isn't usually confusing , but we've just had a weekend of three events all happening together (the other is Brands Hatch Masters) - however it confused me enough till I scrolled down a bit  8)

Stirling Moss eat your heart out....

Bruciebonus, Very enjoyable! Thanks. But I am surprised you could concentrate on the driving with all that racket on the radio! (Envy!)

Colin

Ha ha!  Music added afterwards  - messing about with video software.

Another one...I am getting into this now!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnn0xY7MydQ

MMMM! I like the moving stuff, and nice still shots, but I'd sooner see one or the other.

Jonathan the second video clip on youu tube can't be viewed by iPad/mobiles, the site suggests a setting needs to be altered, the other one is fine.

Thanks, Neil

I really enjoyed the second video too - it felt that I was almost there and sharing the experience. It would be good if someone has a video of the after-dinner speaker and some of the other goings-on, then I will feel less deprived in not actually taking part.

Colin

Apparently when Spielberg made Jurassic Park one critic commented "nice film, too many dinosaurs".

Colin,

You WERE greatly missed, and I for one would have come and got you if I'd have known you were unable to get there.

Don't do it again :)
