Lancia Fulvia Sport Zagato, the car that turned me into a petrolhead!

- This 1972 Lancia Fulvia Sport 1600 was designed and built by Zagato. The 1600 is the ultimate final edition with the competition engine and super rare in the UK. I've wanted one for a while now and this one is very special to me, as I explain in the video..

I got goose bumps when you said it was the car from your childhood ... an amazing story .. I'd return it to the red from your childhood when you do the bodywork .. what a great car ..
Yep, this needs to be that childhood car in appearance as well... it's just begging for it. And red really pops this design instead of the dull black.
+1 I think we'd all like to see this car returned to her former beauty, if only to see the way Harry looks at it!
I think jay leno had a similar story about one of his cars, but I forgot which one
I agree too, this definitely needs to go back to the red of your childhood, it will look so much nicer too imho.
I'm gonna say it doesn't _need_ to go back to red. Just like it's not going to have the stock bumpers back etc. It's awesome that it's car that got Harry all excited as a kid, but it was specced by someone else. Now's the time to make it be the hero that child saw way back then, not meet the actual 1:1 machine behind the myth. I'd say try and go see a red one somewhere, and then decide on whether that's the colour you want, or should it be the colour you actually went for. It's never going to be the original paint anymore, so it doesn't need to be the original colour either.
The look on Harry's face and the excitement in his voice tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about why car enthusiasts are the way they are. Fantastic car, fantastic story.
oh the look on his face, classic, he just bloody loves it
@Farina Marcina My wife thought I was crazy to buy a mid 90s Alfa Romeo. She is gone now, the Alfa remains ;)
@@ChaosphereIX good choice LoL
lets you love even a Chinese car .
What an incredible story! Cherish it forever.
It’ll be gone soon
@@pippipster6767 your comment hasn't aged well ;-)

🤣
My original comment seems to have vanished?????
Harry, you may want to get the sump off rather quickly and check that the crankshaft oiler nozzle hasn't come adrift. They have a habit of doing this on the Fulvia engine and are a cause of oil pressure loss on the gauge. The last thing you want is it swirling around ready to get caught up in something!
Just trying to keep this at the top for Harry to see.
Thanks!
Up!
Harry
that sounds like it's worth investigating!
It’s amazing you bought the very car you lusted after as a kid. You have to paint it red again.
I think Harry is one of the best car reviewers on You Tube, he covers every important detail about a car and tells you what you actually need to know in a natural and sympathetic manner. Exceptional talent in my opinion, surprised that he isn't on TV.
Thanks, quite enjoy what I'm already doing but let's see!
I'm watching this AFTER watching all the refurbishment story.
Love it!
This video made my day!
Get it painted in it’s original colour!... but for now just enjoy it 😃
The fact that it was that car you saw as a child has just blown my mind! 🤯 What a great story! 👏🏻
Looking back on this now with the restoration almost complete.. seeing the joy on your face in this video, can't wait to see your reaction when you can finally take her back out for a drive! Well deserved!
Lovely stuff, Harry. I have to admit I'm so much happier when you're sharing these machines than 600 bhp Jaguars - this is so much cooler... ;-)
True
I like a nice mix, + the auto shows. Overall I'd just like more.
Nothing uncool about a Jag with 600HP however
Lemma01 Harry has an arrangement with Jaguar.
This little amazing car is one of the best Lancia's heritage. In its 110 years of life, Lancia produced so many unforgettable models. Unfortunately those genius of FCA decided to kill this legendary car brand, one of the brightest examples of the so famous made in Italy productions. Thanks Harry for this video reminding us who Lancia and Zagato were.
this is the content that makes Harry's Garage one of the best channel on youtube
Bet he wouldn't be driving it like that if he knew it was 50% bodge, 25% rust and 25% Mig weld splatter.
i was just gonna comment on this. lol. poor Lancia.
Was going to add more or less the same comment..
I’m Italian, and I have to say: I take my hat off to you sir. I’ve been watching some of your videos in this days, and you have a beautiful, beautiful garage. Not only that, you take great care of this cars, and most of all you drive them around Europe and Italy. Somehow I’m happy that this cars are with you, if that makes sense.
Deteriorated a bit was found to be an understatement.
It was destined to end up in your garage. How magical.
The sound of that downshift at 17:36 is the sound of pure joy! Goosebumps
Wasted on the DCT drivers we have now -_-
Watching this video is super-interesting in light of the recent video showing how bad everything was under the paint. It’s got me looking carefully to see if I can spot any signs…
Great to watch this now in Dec 2022, AFTER watching the full restoration series. Fully get why you couldn't speak for a few moments when the cover came off the restored red car with black stripe etc. etc. Fantastic to watch.
Don't sell this one Harry, its a keeper. Love this car and the story. I'd say spray it Red and spruce up the engine a little without overdoing it.
what a beautiful car, amazing line and sound.
I've just seen the fully restored episode and have now come back to the start. What a fabulous and lovely story. Same goes for the car too ofcourse. Zagato and Lancia what else would you expect. That works Coupe looked stunning too.
No option here but to restore the car to "as you first saw it" - the excitement shown and the luck in getting the car, mean you need to restore the car fully and let us share in every moment - would be a fantastic thing to follow (and in depth please :)
Congratulations on finding your Boyhood Lancia! Wonderfully timed anecdote. Really amazing reveal. Awesome!!!
The black color looks nice but you've got to go back to the original red with the black hood stripe! Great video as always!
Good call!
I totally agree with you, Fridy.
I also add that is almost impossibile to fine an original Lancia coloured into black.
Plenty of pastel black in the past, almost no black
That car must be restored back to red as you first clapped eyes on it. Have driven the 1300 non Zagato and that was fun. Great car that deserves the best
It has to be done!
Going back and watching this again now that the restoration is done...
Harry's love of cars is contagious...and enjoyable to view...
That’s one gorgeous car, your reviewed it brilliantly
Congrats on a very special little car, Harry. I can tell it makes you feel happy.
My god that engine sounds amazing when it's going!
This is why i love your channel Harry, what a great car, story and fantastic host to come with
Harry, the undisputed king of CZcams garages!
It's amazing that this car ended up being the one you saw as a child. What a great story. No wonder you bought it.
The back story of coffee bean deliveries make this a great project car.
A new “Harry’s” is always an event I look forward to and never more than when it features something old and Italian. Great knowledge Sir, as usual.
Absolutely beautiful. The best car in Harry's current garage.
Wonderful dose of serendipity! A delightful addition to your collection. And definitely one to be kept and cherished. One of my favourite Harry's Garage videos 😁😁😁
Great story and having the opportunity to purchase this jewel from your childhood is a precious dream come true.
It’s so cool that you found this car that so excited you in your youth! Very unusual looking, but pleasing. Very unusual sounding, but nice! I think this is probably a keeper, Harry!😃
Love you, Harry! You're enthusiasm is so contagious. "Impossibly gorgeous" is my new phrase I'm stealing from you.
Just the most enjoyable videos about the most interesting cars!! I could binge on this channel for days!!
Great Car, Great History, Great Video with quality content. Always happy to tune in when Harry`S Garage posts a new Video.
Harry, your a class act and your Birkenhead - Coffee delivery tie in to this beautiful little Lancia is unforgettable! Well done.
fun fact: Lancia invented the VR-Engine layout that was later used by VW in the famous VR6
Lancia invented everything
tommihommi1 I instantly wondered this when I saw the engine layout.
they still use this layout (in the W12s and W16s, too), although they call it V6 because that sounds better
@Kevros nah, they invented kevros
only one cylinder head?
Your obvious enthusiasm with this particular car is contagious!
Wow, what a journey! And to think, we might get to see this thing again in it's current state down Harry's "better bit of road" yet again. And to think these videos were one of his least watched (the restoration) in 2022. Don't pay attention to those CZcams algorithms Harry, please! Amazing content!
Harry Definitely a keeper, fantastic Lancia Fulvia Sport..
I knew I liked Harry a lot, but now to discover he grew up in Birkenhead where I was born - and both have travelled far and wide since - I like him a heap more. Great video, thanks again Harry! Can't believe the coincidence (which I won't provide as a spoiler here).
Same as you.
Me too. Birkenhead....a mention of Greasby....didn’t realise Harry was a fellow Wirralian. No wonder I adore his work!
I'd leave it as is for a while, neutralize any minor rust spots, and just enjoy it as a runabout with an important personal history for you. I think it's amazing that you found THAT car that sparks your interest. Mine was 2 Lambo's in the same circular drive that I saw twice a week on my way to a side job I had as a kid in a very upscale neighborhood, that beautiful white Lamborghini, and its twin in red, and me on my BMX as a kid, I'd just drool as I slowly rode by...and one day was brave enough to approach the owner, I was about 14 at the time, and very unruly as a kid, but I was as polite and respectful as possible as I was offered the ride of my young life :D will never forget it, was only a few minutes long up the main street in the gated neighborhood, but I'll never forget feeling like the world is a wonderful place, I still get a small hint of that feeling every time I see one, which is very very rarely these days...and the sound, that sound was just so much better than any music. so I get your feel Harry, having a direct connection with the beginning's of your love for something like cars is pretty amazing. keep that one, buddy!
What a story! Whatever you do with this car you will do it right, because you most certainly love it!
I always had a thing for the Fulvia. What a lovely little machine, I'll have to look into buying one now.
Please do it. It is still a value for money now, bit it's raising up very fast
of interest...I was once a proud Lancia Beta HPE owner (same colour as your Fulvia)..... '74 with a 1600 (yep really) ...sounded so good . thanks so much for posting .wish I had a pic to share but that was the pre-digital age and I 've since lost the polaroids lol.
Great.
The HPE was the car of my girlfriend in the late eighties, and we travelled around Europe with that piece of design with an hart.
What an original and nice car
Lancia (in particular pre FIAT) heritage speaks for itself. What a stunning little thing... and that V4...love it!
Wonderful, the car, the story, the grin, loving this, thank you for sharing this with us Harry!
Who thought this was an April Fool’s joke?? New Harry Zagato video? On a Monday??? Perfect!
I generally struggle with Zagato's design, but having seen this one in the flesh, it is utterly beautiful. Even better, it is a Lancia.
I am amazed you - accidentally - found a car you have a personal connection to, Harry!
@Farina Marcina
I have to agree. Ten years ago it felt overstyled, give modern car design another five years and it will feel sedate.
Made my evening watching this and then the bombshell. What a lovely tale.
What a lovely little car. One of the great things about Harry's Garage is the reviews of older, but very interesting cars, not just modern super-machinery. Thanks very much for sharing this.
"Impossibly Glorious" would love to have this in my garage.
Lovely back story. Needs to go back to red, for the mere fact, that it is, THE car, you remember as a lad.
A sympathetic restoration, is a term that applies to this little gem. Love the bumper delete.

Always loved Lancia it's criminal how they withered Away, great content Harry.
apparently we can blame america's anti communist bias, since all the other italian car companies except Lancie got supported under the Marshall plan post WWII and Lancia flirted very briefly with the party due to his anti fascist stance...so they were always cash starved...
@@AlbertManiscalco lancia delta Washington made in the late 70s.....non lancia is still alive, not as good but still alive. Lancia thema sport nel model is great
At the same time that you encountered the Lancia, I was a student with a part-time job at a garage/showroom in Stockport. At the weekends I could more or less choose the keys to any of the stock, one of which was Matt Busby’s Rover P5 Coupe in two-tone grey. As a United fan, this is ‘the car that got away’ , but one other car stands out in the memories I have of those days. It was a lovely little Zagato in silver, with what I think was a tan interior. The two cars could not reflect there birthplace any more, if they were actually flying the flag . I loved them both and took the Lancia on a pub crawl ( not advocating drinking and driving). It was just so special, so light and so attractive. Certain features , like the dash remain an object lesson in minimal design and sadly I have not encountered one since. Thank you so much for this and the subsequent episodes, as you take us through the restoration. I hope you realize how wonderful this particular kind of time travel is.
Another great Harry story and driving adventure. Thanks, mate.
I can't help thinking the designer of the Porsche 928 followed one of these to work on that particular morning.
Fix the rot, enjoy for now then respray back to Red!
and do the performance mods - freer flowing exhaust, etc.
Funny that in German language rot is red
booring2, considering that is funny says Tons about german sense of humor
True passion, making this one of the best channels out there. Awesome vehicle and story!
What a heartwarming story of how the car that sparked your love of Italian cars, has now found its way to your garage. Beautiful. Complimenti Harry!
Wow, what a story too...
Purchasing this car was meant to be!😎👍👍
I don't think I've seen another Harry's Garage video in which Harry has grinned from start to finish!
You know there's gold here when Harry just about smiled, in comparison me and you are body popping
Thanks, Harry. Another jewel from the past.
I’ve still got my Sport Zagato although it says “Corgi” on the box! 😀
Wonderful car Harry, have you checked under the carpets for coffee beans?
They don't do that. They grind them fine and add it to the paint.
The best car might not be the most powerful or expensive, but the one that makes you chuckle when you drive it, you get to where you are going and get out with a smile
What a great story! Love your vlogs Harry - thank you
Harry, do the restoration and paint it red. Don't let the rot get any worse. Modify with period correct rally intake and exhaust. Maybe some fog lights in the front. Such a cool car.
I think Harry should take this unique Lancia to Mille Miglia race in Italy.
He can't. Mille Miglia eligibles cars are only the ones built earlier than 1957
Only cars of the race period are allowed, which was interrupted in '57
Lancia Aurelia GT and Spyder are eligible. In 1952 a GT came in second place after a full race car from Ferrari. Aurelia was produced from 1950-1956 for GT and 1955-1958 for Spyder and convertible. Arguably the best Lancia ever made.
It was fun rewatching this again. It’s now late June of 2022, and yesterday’s video showed the car now in primer after major, unexpected bodywork. Well done Harry.
Electric windows in 1972! Love this, beautiful little car and fantastic soundtrack
What a brand Lancia was! And now? How sad they killed it!
not dead yet...there is still hope
Why are Brits so incapable of correct Italian pronunciation: They do OK with French words, but it's so condescending NOT to try to honour the characteristics of a certain language. I could throw up as well when the British pronounce Alfa Sud to rhyme with Bud. Insular folk with no right to be in E.U. Do your Brexit thing, pronto!!
haha...only certain words bother me...i assume youre referring to pronouncing Lancia as "Lan-see-ya"? brits were yucking it up to the new Alfa "Toe nail" (Tonale) thinking they were so clever and that the world revolves around the english language when aruguably 65-70% of their language is based on latin...
@@jofair
Lovely little car. Fix the body, maybe have it vinyl wrapped in red so you can always go back to black.
Brilliant video, great tale, thanks Harry
Love the provenance with you & the car Harry 👌🏽~
Re-spray it red Harry. Its a fantastic link back to your childhood in Bir-kin-ed, (just a few miles down the road from where I was brought up around the same time)
As a 10 year old in 76' I came home from school at lunchtime and found a red pantera sitting outside a neighbour's house...think I got an erection before I even knew what an erection was ....perversely I've always had a soft spot for those Italian hot rods since...1st love lol
I was an seven year old sitting in an apple tree at the end of our street when a TR7 went by in 1978. I thought it was the road going version of an X-wing. Might not be as glam or celebrated but they're my soft spot.
Delivering papers at 10 year old in 1980. Sunday morning edition and guy was backing out of his garage a primrose yellow E-type convertible. 1966. Been smitten with E-type ever since.
Awesome as always Harry, really fun and educational to watch. Thanks a lot.
I love your passion. It’s contagious!
Give us a call if you want to test a road legal racing Fanalone - Rauno Aaltonen drove her at Race Retro this year.
The Lancia brand should have a better use by FCA
with any luck they will make a new delta on the giorgio platform...Lancia deserves to be saved!
Brilliant. As always, Harry. Cheers
You are a gentleman, Harry. Thank you!
Lancia rules: keep out of bright light, don't get them wet, and never, ever, feed them after midnight...
lancia was a pioneer in car engineering, copied by many.
I had the opportunity to visit a shop specialized on classic Italian cars- they had about 20 (TWENTY) Lancia Aurelias lined up. At the time I had no clue that Lancias aren't even cheaper Fiats... so the Boss of that shop showed me a Lancia and a Ferrari side to side (might have been a Ferrari 365 GT 2+2- but I am not sure) and he said that old Lancias were basically UFOs compared to everything else at the time...
The Italian Car industry as well as the British has been sabotaged. The video of the Lancia history is very interesting ,
Excellent little addition to the garage!
Fantastic! Looks like one of your most exciting drives.
I bet you regret buying this heap of junk now Harry! 🤣
This might be my very favorite of your collection. The story to go along with it is so amazing!
I feel like this guy and this channel is really underrated. It might not be super exciting or artfully mastered shots or anything, but you can see this guy has a passion for cars. The videos have all you need, the sound of the car and a good story/facts. This is the kind of person you could sit down for a beer with and talk cars for hours.
Beautiful little gem and a very touching history indeed. Great video as usual.
