Well, chapter 11 is out, another fine period piece. What did you do in 1968?
No Fulvia Berlina in this chapter, but Fiat 850 and 124 spider, and quite a few interesting Ferraris....
As a Fulvia Berlina owner I would say they are more appreciated these days, although the Coupe and Zagato Variants have are larger following and worth more; but having also had a 1.3 Rallye Coupe I think I can be objective, I made the decision to Sell the Coupe as it was a 'one or the other' choice after I'd restored my 2c, and I can't say I've ever had regrets other than that I wish I could of kept both, as the Rallye was my first Fulvia,, the Berlinas certainly have a better ride from a comfort point of view, and don't really give that much away to the 1300 models.
They were the 'first born ' from which all other versions sprung, something a lot of clubs try to conveniently forget, as do many authors who only give them a passing mention, if at all.
In 2013 there was a meeting at Mirafiore to celebrate the Fulvia's 50th Anniversary, but on their poster there was no mention of the Berlina or a photo, considering it was the Berlina's 50th that was supposedly being celebrated, it was annoying as an owner to find it had been conveniently 'Written Out' of the Fulvia History.
