Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Rallye - Better Than The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior?

- The Lancia Fulvia 1.3 Rallye. Beautiful design, peppy engine and rally pedigree. If you are in the market for a classic then this little pocket rocket ticks a lot of boxes. James takes this recently consigned Lancia for a quick spin to take a closer look.

I owned a 2000 gtv and now a berlina 2000. I also own a fulvia 1600 HF. They both drive fantastic. The frontwheel driven fulvia is a typical rally car, fw drive, faster,raw, more nimble and overall better engineering. The alfa's 105 are fantastic rw drive cars with a lott of charisma. I could not choose between the two. And why would you. Just see the beauty in both.
Lucky b*****d!!!!
Nobody cares. :)
@@elihajlaw8428 i do
Of course it is. The fulvia was far ahead of its time
Same goes for the 105's imo
Double gilet, strong look
Guys you have gone to the trouble of getting a camera man, a presenter, a shiny red car - but please do your research correctly especially when talking about a car that had a rally winning variant. Most of what you are referring to is just a sketchy pastiche of the previous owners representation of the HF model which this is not. It’s not difficult call upon a car club which will most probably be more than happy give you the correct run down of a car.
This over any modern car everyday of the week
You say the 1,3 Rallye sits between the std Fulvia and the 1,3S and HF variants… but badging on the rear suggests it is in fact a 1,3S ?
Nice looking example in principle, but unoriginal dash and instrumentation, seats, unnecessary kill switch, molded wheel arches, don’t add to it. Also, has the engine been worked? If so, this would add to sale enthusiasm.
That's a great little Lancia, I have a 1300s and have had a 1600 HF in the past. also have a Lancia 2000HF coupe. Cheers Bob
Cool car but 'neatly labelled' switches is pushing it a bit 😂
He must love the Ferrari Dymo
Great video. Nice car. Great presentation. I’ve no idea why but I found those trainers really annoying.
Because they are white and stand out have too much in contrast with the dark interior.
Good question. It’s same as a question of which do you like tempura or sushi? … no, pizza or pasta maybe. My personal favorite is sushi🍀
Che bellina presenter and what a car.
"Lun-cha", not "Lan-c-ah"
Yes they are very charming,
but to my eyes, seems this one blowing blue smoke?
Would love to drive the hell out of one.
Like the shots
Do not get me wrong the Alfa Junior was a brilliant car in almost every aspect (all cars did rust excessively back then except perhaps some niche brands) but the Fulvia was an absolute masterpiece!
Fantastica, macchina,bella 🎉🎉🎉
V-engine vs 4L, front vs Rear traction: two great cars!!
Great video!
I love the Fulvia but the GT 1300 Junior is another story! Shoud propably mention that I'm biased as owner of a 1970 stepnose GT Junior ;)
When cars are this small, the FWD dynamics are different, just ask anybody who had a Sud. Another commenter compared this to a Fiat 124 coupe. They do both have an airy greenhouse. I like the 124 coupe and am an Alfa guy so a GT jr is always a like, but this seems like the perfect 1300 with a pair of dual throat carbs. The alfa world is too in love with the Guilia GT, this is refreshingly different and the engineering of Lancia, and build quality, are equal or surpass equivalent Alfas. The automotive world was better when Alfa and Lancia were independent, although neither could stay afloat building drivers cars.
You might be interested in what I'm currently working on, a fwd honda 1300 with twin Weber dcoe 45, it will be revving up to 8k rpm. And yes it makes power up there :)
I had to laugh when he mentions the water temperature guage and the camera cuts to a shot of it...and it's completely not working! The car seems to be a bit puffed up with the big rallye lights and a prominent HF sticker on the side when it's not actually an HF.
I’ve owned both and, though the Fulvia is a fantastic little car (ruined by Fiat?), I’d take the Alfa, all day long.
Fiat ruined everything.....
Two opposite car concepts of that time. Both lovely cars, the one more effective on the track, the second one more effective and safe on the road, I would like to have both!!!!!
@@ORMA1 Yes, a true disaster dued to politic, to the Fiat culture, opposite to the Lancia and Alfa cultures, and because of a very poor management
@@paolorumignani5418 concordo su tutto
All depends if you want Lancia/ Alfa badged Fords because if Ford had bought them, neither company would exist now..
Una verdadera belleza!!!!
E bellissima questa Fulvia 👏👏👏👏👏👍🇬🇧🇮🇹👌👌👌
Video does not answer the title's question.
Feel like a lot more could have been done with this video - not particularly informative and dull, didn’t even bother to get a 1300GTJ along to draw a direct comparison?
I'm sure Mr. Harris is a very busy guy, but please stop letting this guy do videos. What an oaf.
I love the Fulvia, my father had one and I've got fond memories of it, apart from the fact that he sold it the week i became old enough to drive! This review needed less talking about the bleeding obvious and more about the history of this particular car. Also, there was a bit much blue smoke to attract serious buyers surely?
Would be happy with a little Fiat 126, look great fun.
These S1 Fulvias have tons of understeer; they just won't go around corners when given any heat. I owned one for 13 years (S1 1.3S; very late S1 from early '70) so I'm just telling ya.
Agreed….luckily they didn’t completely destroy Alfa’s historic brand.
Its rather this FWD against Alfa’s RWD.
Do not forget the likewise RWD Fiat 124 Coupe, 1400-1800 marvellous Lampredi twincam, 5speed and disc’s all ’round. I think it looks best out of this trio too, IMHO. (Apart from being the overall better car, according to roadtesters both then & now).
I like the Alfa Giulias and Giulettas of the time more. Dont get me wrong, for a FWD the Lancia performs and drives very well, but the Alfas are a little bit more active and you can do much more with them.
I don't recall seeing a road test between the 3 of them so would love to see a link as that would be a great read. I remember a road & track article where the 124 blew MG and TR6 away. I had a 124 1.8 before fulvia and although great engine and fabulous sound found driving it absolutely exhausting compared to the fulvia.
I like these a lot!!!!
You can’t listen to somebody selling this car giving a review. And this car, a push button starter switch. I am an Alfa guy and am considering buying a 1.3S it’s a better value than a GT jr, gorgeous and a totally different feel.
Which wheels are on this Fulvia? Size? I have 14X6 Cromodoras on mine, but I'd like to find something a bit different. Please let me know...thanks
Nessun commento semplicemente favolosa 😂
The party crasher for most of the potential buyers is probably front-wheel-drive. Collecting cars is doing their best on not mentioning this little, but important fact, neither in the video or on the bidding-page itself..
Could be they don’t know it?
That usually only disappoints people because it looks like a rwd car. They drive like any good fwd car, minis and hot hatches for instance. Temper your expectations for that and they're excellent.
@@Munkenba It looks like a FWD car, clearly? That front overhang doesn't fool us. :) Anyway, FWD or RWD does make a huge difference to the experience of spirited driving
@@pereldh5741 Well, yes, but it doesn't make one configuration better than the other. Ask any journo with a decent head on their shoulders which is best among a classic mini, a gr yaris and an e46 m3. Add in a motorcycle if you want, for good measure. It's apples and oranges, the question is moot.
If they know how a Fulvia handles, and why it won so many rally championships, then they’ll know why the fwd in a Fulvia is exceptional.
Video is more style than substance. Particularly in the actual spec of the car.
Would it have been that hard to move it past it's wet patch or at least mention that I was overheating.
So for those that have driven them, does it drive more like a smile inducing mini, tail happy crx or razor sharp Type R?
You can rotate the car very easy on the brakes. Kinda like a Mini. For the most part it is easy to control. As with all cars, once you throw performance parts on it, it will become more snappy.
If you want a comparison with alfa gt giulia you must get the Gta 1300 who was built for competition.
The comparable car to gta 1300 would be the Fulvia 1,3HF
@@toml5451 the 1300 rally was for competition while Giulia gt 1300 was for normal use with 87 cv. The right comparison you must do with 1300 Gta built for road with 113 cv this is the right comparison with the 1300 rally built for oad If you get the 13oo.hf you must get the 1300 Gta built in 1969 but the Fulvia won only in Rallies and only one time the Montecarlo rally with Sandro Munari but was built in 70 years. Another context.
@@agorlucio7683 no, the rallye 1,3 (86hp) is only a few HP over the std Fulvia coupe, the 1,3S (91hp) a little bit up on that, and the 1,3HF (100hp) 1967 was the homologation model. Prior to that the 1,2HF was the homologation model. Eventually you had the 1,6HF (113hp) in 1969.
@@agorlucio7683 don’t confuse ‘rally’ with ‘rallye’ - which was the model variant.
Better than the what now? I know you trying to sell the car, but cmon now
Triggered by the click bait title. No. 105 is the best. The end.
I just love arrogant know-all's - 'the end.' What a dick.
the blue stripe is missing
I'd give my left kidney for a Fulvia
0:57: and you can already see it leaking coolant, Arividetsi! ;-)
Unfortunate placement I’d say. You can see the car pulling over at 0:51 over the already wet area on the ground.
@@toml5451 Quite right.
Terrible experience with collecting cars! Won the auction for the yellow FK8! Then did everything they requested! And they sold the car to another person using some lousy excuse, maybe their auctions is not as legit as it looks like! Why would you need to block my posts if you are legit? Why can’t you come upfront and face the problem?
I owned a 1971 1.3 fulvia in South Africa in the late eighties. Definately a different car - very charismatic, but rust and squeaky springs a problem!! They were built by Daihatsu!!
LOL. Really?
As soon as businessmen take over a passionate engineer's creation, well that's when it generally starts to ruin everything. Fiat or not Fiat.
Based on this video, Collecting Cars looks pretty sketchy .
I assume they are not, but this is the kind of sales pitch giving one a bad rep ; see other comments for reasons why .
😕 Hang on.... Is this character going to be a regular with Collecting Cars? I've seen him babbling nonsense on a few things before.
True to form, he's ladelling out his usual clumsy, amateurish hyperbole.
LANCIA no LANSIA! per favore un minimo di pronuncia...🙄
Why put one of the cameras down low on the passenger door, then you turn your head too far over looking unnatural and awkward, eyes way off the road…
Better to place it as others have near the A pillar?
A sales ad!
