LANCIA FULVIA 1.6 HF   “FANALONE”

Lancia Fulvia HF

Lancia Fulvia HF "Fanalone"

“I broke off North onto the smaller ‘Nacional’ roadways and found my way to the A-308 heading east out of La Nava.  On these flowing, serpentine twisties the little Fulvia runs like a 1:1 scale Scalextric car, cornering flat and roaring out of bends with a feisty feel and that scintillating exhaust note filling the cockpit.  The brakes are powerful and turn-in is instantaneous. INSTANTANEOUS.  Arrive at a corner and bend into it and the Lancia dives to the apex like a demon, exhaust poppling wonderfully on the overrun.  It corners perfectly flat and neutral on constant throttle, with no hint of understeer at any point, and is easy to modulate with the gas pedal.  Get it all right and on the other side, as your reward, you get to hear it power out onto the straight, up through the gears toward the next bend where you do it all over again.  And again, and again, and again.  I found myself laughing, literally laughing out loud and slapping my thigh on the short straights, living my own private Targa Florio fantasy through the mountains of Spain...” For the whole story and the complete gallery of images, visit: www.valenciaclassicvehicles.com
