Title: Fulvia Inspection Required
Post by: stuwilson128 on 19 April, 2012, 09:53:44 AM
I have been emailed by somebody who is looking to buy a Fulvia.  He has found one in the Leicestershire area, advertised on Pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3805626.htm.  Does anybody live in that area who would be able to go and inspect the car?  If so, please let me know and I will forward the contact details.

Looks nice generally but that looks awfully like overspray on the front seats, so I hope the rest of the restoration was to a higher standard than the masking up ???

The red on the seats looks like a reflection to me.

I am always suspicious when there are no engine bay photos. To my mind they can be a very good indication of the way the car has been looked after.

I agree entirely with Chris' comment - I have been looking out for a Fulvia for my bro-in-law and you see some lovely shiny cars and then the engine bay ..... Oh la la as they say here

It says it can be viewed in Northamptonshire, also looks like the front bumper is twisted on the drivers side ???

Not sure John as it looks like there might have been some on the front cushion as well, but it's one of those things that require a look to clarify the situation.

I think the 'overspray' is a reflection. It doesn't appear on the same seat in one photo. Also you'd have to be going pretty mad with the spray gun to get paint on the inside of the seats in the middle of the car. From the photos it doesn't look too bad apart from the twisted bumper and no engine shot. I've lost touch with UK prices on Fulvias a bit. Is this about right these days?
