Given the range of vehicles in your fleet, I cannot wait to meet the next team. Please keep this type of content coming Harry. The review stuff on the latest modern vehicles is great - between you and Henry C, we are seeing have some great review content at the moment but this type of video focusing on mechanical engineering and restoration is fantastic and a welcome distraction from yet another overpowered car with too many touch screens.

Right so these guys are terrible, my dad has a Alfa Romeo series two spider, he took it to them for welding work, a respray and some minor engine work. Not only did they take months longer than they said they would, but the paintjob was shoddy and has been a coming off the car, meaning we now have to get it resprayed at a much better firm called BJ miles in Crayford, who are great with paint and bodywork and specialise in old cars. But that wasn't the end of it, now aside from the shitty don't blame us attitude, they also messed up the engine tuning causing the car to run like a dog and forgot to tighten up the nuts on the wheels, so my dad could have been killed driving it back. That firm is a joke and if you like your car, don't bring it there, they look impressive from the outside, but they do shoddy work. They will blame any mishap with the line 'well its an old car' and honestly the service overall was appalling. And my dads not inexperienced with cars either, he's got classic bikes and can rebuild engines, me and my brother have had a lot of classic cars and he's helped us out a lot with them, including an engine swap at one point, so its not like he's clueless and simply doesn't know what hes talking about, basically they will charge you high prices for sub par work.

So rewarding to see such a beautiful example getting the treatment it deserves to be preserved for another 50 years - providing petrol is still available then.

They certainly know their way round your car, no waffle or bragging themselves up like a lot of classic car "so called specialists" , just getting on with it in a no nonsense fashion, absolutely ideal. Certainly should bring back some memories for you if you decide to go back to the original colour scheme of the car. On the subject of pricing of Lancias a lot of expense was due to the huge tax levy put on foreign imported goods after the 2nd world war by Clement Attleee in order to protect the British ecomony .The same happened to Alfa Romeos and the Volvo P1800 in the 1960's early 1970s before we joined the Common Market .

I’ve always been wholly indifferent to Lancia and I find I am immensely interested in this project nonetheless! It’s a credit to your own passion that it is infectious-THAT is the kind of virus that could do with a bit more spreading around! 👍

Brilliant video! Thanks for staying safe and keeping us all safe. I believe whenever you “restore” an old car (not a Concourse trailer queen), always install electric fuel pump, electronic distributor, electric fan with possibly upgraded radiator and front disc brakes where necessary. That will almost guarantee it _RUNS_ well in the modern world.

I am not surprised that the piston rings are showing so much wear, as whenever I have heard this engine in previous HG videos it really has sounded like a Ford V4, not a Lancia V4. I had 2 Fulvias many years ago, a 1600HF Lusso (same engine as this Zagato) and a Series 1 1300. Both were smooth as turbines and sounded like it. I will be very interested to watch this restoration as it progresses. I seem to recall (a long time ago, maybe 20 years) that only about 30 Fulvia 1600 Zagatos were ever imported to the UK, so this is mega rare now.

I once did an engine rebuild on a 1300cc engine, it had done a little less than 180,000 miles. No significant wear on the main bearings or crank, measured still within original tolerance. 3 main bearing shells showed sign of modest wear (coppering beginning to come through), the others were good. Bore was still within original tolerance such that it only needed regoning and new standard piston rings fitted. I lightened and balanced the pistons whilst they were out, and of course gas flowed the head, and fitted slightly uprated cams. There was no issue with the valve guides, and only had to reseat the valves. These engines are beautifully built. Provided that you klet them fully warm up (about 10 miles) before pushing the engine, they go on and on.

The photo of the orange car with black accents was just stunning - until I saw it I didn't realise the extent to which the beauty of the shape is lost in black. Hoping the engine is not pushed too far in terms of beyond-stock output. I didn't appreciate what a remarkable unit this was until this vid - I'd love to see it close to an 'optimised standard' spec rather than pushed to its limits - the charm of a car like this isn't the number of horses, it's the quality and the way they come out of the stalls. Absolutely love this type of content - the best of the best. Can't wait to see how it plays out over the coming months - and the RR and XJ too!

I had a Fulvia 1300 back in the 80s for a year or two. It was my daily transport, but I always enjoyed 'Just going for a drive'. Engine would rev to red line, and get smoother the faster it went. Even back then, the quality of engineering and design was obvious. Only problem - points would wear out after 3000 miles, so I always bought sets of points at least 2 at a time. Thanks for the video Harry - looking forward to the next one.

That oil nozzle was professionally repaired :-) I used to ram a self-tapper in until I could replace it otherwise the oil pressure really suffered. Paying attention when splitting the timing chain and not letting it drop into the sump and hit the oil nozzle and therefore snapping it off was the one thing I always promised I would remember, but I only ever remembered after the chain and broken nozzle were making their descent into the sump. Not once, not twice but three or four times. Still, a beautiful car and a beautiful engine. Don't ever sell it Harry!

Right so these guys are terrible, my dad has a Alfa Romeo series two spider, he took it to them for welding work, a respray and some minor engine work. Not only did they take months longer than they said they would, but the paintjob was shoddy and has been a coming off the car, meaning we now have to get it resprayed at a much better firm called BJ miles in Crayford, who are great with paint and bodywork and specialise in old cars. But that wasn't the end of it, now aside from the shitty don't blame us attitude, they also messed up the engine tuning causing the car to run like a dog and forgot to tighten up the nuts on the wheels, so my dad could have been killed driving it back. That firm is a joke and if you like your car, don't bring it there, they look impressive from the outside, but they do shoddy work. They will blame any mishap with the line 'well its an old car' and honestly the service overall was appalling. And my dads not inexperienced with cars either, he's got classic bikes and can rebuild engines, me and my brother have had a lot of classic cars and he's helped us out a lot with them, including an engine swap at one point, so its not like he's clueless and simply doesn't know what hes talking about, basically they will charge you high prices for sub par work.

I've sent this message to a few people because Id hate to see any classic car enthusiasts ripped off like my dad was. If you are local ill happily give you numbers to much better mechanics. I've had three classic cars so far a 73, 72 triumph spitfire and currently a 62 sunbeam rapier and I trust these guys to do anything to the cars.

Thank you. A real pleasure and very reassuring to watch a couple of clearly very experienced and knowledgeable technicians working together without hesitation, or the need for lots of commentary. Some things are definitely best left to the professionals! Very much looking forward to the follow up videos.. :-)

Brilliant stuff. Harry doesn’t mind throwing cash at his cars, he likes them to be right. A lot of work involved in an engine rebuild even on that small example. Takes me back to the 70’s rebuilding Ford Kent engines.

It's amazing the level of engineering there and how well thought and precise is everything. Had the chance to work in a car company for a few years; one of the old guys there turned out to be an Alfa Romeo fan who defined the cars as engineering marvels with bad components.

Fascinating seeing the engineering that’s gone into the little Lancia. Great to see the teardown on the engine by guys who really know what they’re doing. Would love to see the car back in its original blood orange colour. With the black bonnet stripe it’s a great look. Brilliant video Harry.

What a lovely cream puff of an engine. Really like the technology. You always hear that Lancia was the most technologically advanced volume manufacturer, but you only see that if they are in pieces.

This is guna be another fascinating insight from the strip down to the rebuild, seeing and exploring the engineering marvels along the way! Obviously the guys doing this are the ones for the job! And however you have to film this Harry will be just fine, as your content is always top notch. Can't wait to see the next episode already! Great stuff as always 😊

Harry, always best to start a rebuild before you're stranded and forced to do it. So happy to see this little gem of a car in the hands of someone who will do it justice! Can't wait to see it completed and back on the road.
