If you enjoyed this first drive, please subscribe to keep up to date with upcoming Fulvia videos! Thanks for watching.

no thanks

[@AshrafonCars]

@@rogerdouglas872 can't take someone who films themselves playing Real Racing 3 very seriously if I'm honest 😂😂

[@simonwatson7366]

Love your enthusiasm. Look forward to next one. Good luck with your degree!

[@thisnthat4318]

I’m actually thinking about getting one of these look amazing

[@paultremmel5995]

it it is such a pleasure that I young man finds interest and delight in cars from the 60ies and 70ies. you have more clicks on your videos of new mercedes and minis, but you seem to understand that the soul was taken from these machines by all kind of assistance systems, that make a ride with them feel like a video game played on a couch. also, your films are well made and cut and entertaining to watch. please keep providing insides from the world of classic alfas and lancias. greetings from vienna, paul

One of the best cars ever produced

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Oh, Mr Ashraf! What a momentous day. Thank you ever so much indeed for sharing this with us!

[@AshrafonCars]

My pleasure Joseph! Glad you enjoyed it, it was very good fun!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

@@AshrafonCars, the Fulvia is one of my favourite cars of all time, to say that I enjoyed it would be an understatement.

[@bmurphy737]

Love the video - your enthusiasm shines through. I had a Series 1 in the late 80s. They are very well built (more like a contemporary Mercedes in that respect than other Italian cars). I’d use words like delicate, balanced, jewel-like engine, great handling and most of all fun to drive as you use the great-sounding engine to power it through the corners. You’re lucky to have a Series 1, which had a nicer gearbox and generally felt better built and better quality than the later cars: very much an engineer’s car if that makes sense. I also had a later 1600 Zagato, which was better in a lot of ways, though it had lost some of the delicacy and quality feel of the Series 1. The steering does have some play around the centre position, but it shouldn’t be anything like as much as on the video. Performance should be very similar to a Giulia Coupe (1300 version), so either that saloon is non-stock or you’re down on power on the Fulvia. I’m very envious of you, having sold mine many years ago: may you have many years’ enjoyment of the Fulvia. Best of luck with it - I honestly think it one of the very best cars there is for driving pleasure. Enjoy!

[@sportzntouring]

Congratulations! You can see the buzz on your face to have this on the road after so long! Looking good!!

[@AshrafonCars]

Thanks a lot mate! Definitely a great day.

[@someguy320]

Love both cars, keep up the great work Ashraf!

[@AshrafonCars]

Thanks very much!

[@gentlemandrive]

Please do a head to head comparison of the Fulvia and the giulia. What are the differences, what you like more about each car, what not etc. I was struggling to decide wether to get a fulvia or a giulia, in the end I happened to find a fulvia but still I am very interested in the Alfa aswell. Alfa Junior vs fulvia would be very interesting I guess but the Giulia is technically not much different so that would also do. Keep up the good stuff!

[@AshrafonCars]

Definitely planning on that when the Fulvia is finished! My initial impression is that the Fulvia is the more delicate, civilized car to drive - more comfortable and lighter on its feet with narrow wheels and tyres. But the Giulia is more aggressive and more rewarding when driven hard, mostly thanks to the Alfaholics wheels and suspension I've fitted.

[@MattysCars]

Only just found the channel can't wait for more videos on the fulvia

[@AshrafonCars]

Cheers Matt!

[@sajidqureshi3307]

Hi, Its great to have you back, Lancia is looking good and all that work has been well worth it... i am sure i just saw a `FLUX CAPACITOR` in the cabin....im defo going to keep an eye on this and cant wait to see the finished project.... looks like so much fun...keep makin and posting the vids....

[@AshrafonCars]

Thanks man! Haha yeah 🤣 next vid will be fitting the interior. Thanks for watching 👍

[@ReubenSound]

This car is why I subscribed to your channel, I love it! I almost bought one, but went for a Gilbern Invader instead, but I'll always have a soft spot for the Fulvia :D

[@AshrafonCars]

Thank you sir - interesting choice, I've never seen one!

[@ReubenSound]

@@AshrafonCars The only marque from Wales. Powered by a 3.0 V6 Ford Essex. It's a fun car!

[@jonleslie1729]

All Fulvia steering boxes are a bit "vague" on the straight ahead, and it takes a bit of adjustment to if you're used to a modern steering rack. She was designed for cornering, and the steering is a utter delight with the way it both weights up and deliciously centres when doing a "helmsman" hoon.

[@AshrafonCars]

Yep, the thing whips right back to centre! I'll be using the adjustment screw on the box to dial out most of the play.

[@_zrrh]

What a race it was indeed!

[@chrispy350]

Nicely done! Keep it up - a wonderful batch of videos.....

[@AshrafonCars]

Cheers Christopher!

[@F1YMS]

The drag race 🤣 - Great to see you uploading again. I think once the car is finished it’s going to look very cool.

[@AshrafonCars]

🤣 thanks man. I do hope so!

[@hightowerbv]

Really enjoyed watching! It felt like we were right with you in the passenger seat.

[@AshrafonCars]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Ashraf on Cars, I'm your biggest fan!!!!

Great vid! I have a 67 1.2 what has been off the road for three years. Soon visiting a great mechanic north of NYC, who specializes in these old Lancias, to get it back on the road. Subscribed to keep track of your progress.

[@AshrafonCars]

Thanks Rajit! Good luck with your car.

[@rajitdosanjh1533]

Ashraf on Cars Taking the car here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHTKiKiffd2Ui9U. People who know these cars are few and far between in the States.

[@euroretroclassic]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing your next one👍🏻

[@AshrafonCars]

Thank you!

[@henryhol8538]

Look forward to future videos on both these cars! My dream classic is the Alfa Romeo Giulia GTV coupe.

[@AshrafonCars]

Cheers Henry! Fine taste 👍

[@Wakeupproductions]

Tu sei un ragazzo che ama le vere auto! You are a guy who loves real cars!

[@AshrafonCars]

Aha, thank you sir!

[@1240enzo]

Like you Ashraf I too have a Giulia 1300 TI, although a PO did it up as a Giulia Super inc a 1600 engine. I have driven a Fulvia although it was some years ago now. I used to own a 1750 GTV S1 which was a really great drivers car. However, if you ever get the chance to drive a Fiat AC 124 sport you will find it’s comparable and equally special as both the Fulvia and GTV. I have owned my AC for 40 years so I have some experience re such cars. Nice to see your Fulvia up and running.👍

[@AshrafonCars]

A man of fine taste! 😄 I'd love to try a 124 sport one day, Fiat made rampant little cars back then.

[@1240enzo]

For sure if you can I am sure you would enjoy a drive in a nicely sorted 124 Sport, bearing in mind they are really rare these days. Thanks I have had quite a fleet of interesting Fiats and Alfas over the years, let alone driven so many other makes of classics. I am also into bikes these days and have a Ducati Monster 620 which is a pretty cool "modern" (mine is already 14 years old) take on the old bevel Ducs of the '70s.

[@karllucaspindler5665]

Could you show or explain what is bing changed filter wise for better induction? By the way I have to decide between a Giulia 1300 and a Fulvia and I have no idea what to go for. Any help? Thanks.

[@RetroRidingEveryday]

Nice nice nice Fulvia... Next time some more sound from the V4 legendary sound!

[@AshrafonCars]

Thank you sir, next time 😉

Hi there great video wow! Best car youtuber wow! Im so impressed wow! Definitely subscribed wow!!

[@cyborg7116]

Great to see as I remember your first video when you got the Fulvia. Can you say what specialist tuned it please? reason being is that mines not 100%

[@AshrafonCars]

Cheers! I would but to be honest mine isn't 100% either - I might have to look for a Solex specialist as they're tricky to tune I believe.

[@angelolazeroms5900]

Hi Ashraf, what was the estimated amount of money you’ve had to put in?

[@radioactivesocks1168]

Sweet! Do you daily the giulia? If so whats it like with the left hand drive?

[@AshrafonCars]

Thanks! I drive it every day that it's dry, yes. I love LHD, it makes the car feel exotic and because of the amazing visibility and diminutive size of the car it's no issue at all.

[@josiagommel2320]

Why cant you drive it in the rain?

[@AshrafonCars]

@@josiagommel2320 you can (and it's huge fun) but I'd rather keep it out of the weather - it's an old Alfa, and they like to rust.

[@josiagommel2320]

Ashraf on Cars oh makes sense

[@TekAutomatica]

S1 the best of the bunch. 1600 awesome but expensive

[@thetumanshow]

Which dampers are you using? Adjustable Konis from pieces-fulvia.com ?

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station fuel pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.:-((
