Good Morning Lee,
Thank you for the information,I suspect the poster is from the 1960's-70's era when Fulvias were new.
"fay" was found in a shed on the original owners property, through the archway that led to a large garden at the rear. as are all good barn finds!
You should have been around in the 1950's when there were some real bargains to be had, as many old cars were just bangers, and could be had for a song, while even some nicer ones weren't that expensive. One in particular springs to mind, back in the late 1950's sitting outside in the road for sale, of a little garage in Baldock, was a lovely Bugatti T35?
My brother and myself looked at, & turned down, a very nice SS100 Jaguar in a little back street garage in Leighton Buzzard
I wish I'd had my crystal Ball with at the time!
How is your 2c coming along as it seems a long time, it's hard waiting to get them back as "Fay" was 2 years in the process, and it seemed forever,so much so that I got fed up with waiting and bought a series 1 1.3 Rallye Coupe off of Michael Newberry, when he was selling off some of his collection, only to be faced with the the horrible decision after 2 years, when "Fay" was ready for the road, Which one do I keep
as I couldn't afford to keep both of them as well as our everyday cars, which at the time were the elefantino Rosso that we'd just bought from Holland, and Dedra No2 a 1994 LS that I'd taken in part exchange for my first series 3 Thema, Big mistake
.
Probably just me, but I've never really liked VW beetles, I got into one in my youth and thought, this is stupid, I can't even shut the door without slamming it, in my youthful ignorance, unaware of what this signified.
As far as the Lamborghini's concerned it's a case of back to your roots for the answer.
