Simply wonderful. The cracking of Harry’s voice as he sees the Lancia where it was parked 50 years ago. The smile on his face as Harry ragged his favourite roads in his teenage dream car. Life affirming stuff for a Sunday, or in fact any, evening. Perfection!

I followed your rebuild videos of the Fulvia, this video is testament to the hard work that everyone who has been involved in, with the restoration of this car and the fulfilment of your childhood dream. Long may you enjoy your Lancia.

What a fabulous nostalgic episode for Harry and unexpectedly for me too. I am 53 and can personally relate to so much of this video. My dad was born in Liverpool, my parents moved to North Wales when I was 5 where I grew up, initially in Gwernymynydd (very close to Moel Fammau) and from 10 yrs old on the edge of the Denbigh moors in a village called Nantglyn. My dad was (still is) a Classic car nut so I grew up with various rebuilds, MG TA, MG TF, Rover 100, TR5, TR4A, lotus Elite, Allard L Type etc etc. My dad bought a cottage, a converted mill in Frongoch on the outskirts of Bala when I was about 18 and had many journeys via Cerrig, passed the Brenig to St Asaph Fast forward to 2023 and now I live in Chester and regularly charge into North Wales on my Kawasaki Z1000SX and enjoy the roads Harry and I enjoyed as much younger men. Thanks Harry.

As a teenager, I so, so nearly persuaded my mum to buy a new Zagato off the showroom floor at Tony Brooks Lancia garage, just outside the perimeter of Brooklands race circuit near Weybridge. In the end she bought a new "Export Mini" after the silver tongued Austin sales man told her that the export models were so important to the UK economy that they were built on a separate line from the regular mini at Longbridge to make sure they were 100% perfect!! Both the Fulvia and the Zagato are beautiful cars and definitely the ones that got away for me because I love the brand. Thanks for the memories Harry!

I had a similar feeling coming home from school one day, walking around the corner and seeing a mk1 vw scirocco in metallic blue, only to find out my parents had just bought it. Not as exotic I know, but I just thought it was so cool. Living on a farm as an 8 year old I was just into tractors rather then cars, and this scirocco started my interest.

I love your videos but this has to best one of the best because of the personal history. I love the fact your dad had a Dyane 6 which was quite an outré choice of car at the time. We lived in a dead end near Edinburgh with stables at the end of the road. Some nice cars passed. There was a lady with a Fulvio Zagato painted in pink! Still looked fabulous. It is interesting how our youth informs what we like in adulthood. I love the Porsche 356, my first memory being one parked near where we lived in Cambridge Massachusetts. Camping trips to France made me fall in love with French cars, particularly Citroën and Panhard. My first car at age 18 was a DS21.

Your recollection of first seeing a Fulvia Zagato is great. I recall the first time I saw an Alfa GTV6.

You have bought and restored not just a car but your youthful spirit.

My uncle bought a new 1984 Alfa Romeo GTV6 when I was 13 and I was hooked the instant I saw it. Getting a high speed ride in it on the German autobahn that day was mind blowing. I have owned 8 Alfa’s so far, and even with the troubles some of them gave me, I still love them. To be accurate, my obsession with cars began when I was 9 and saw a Lamborghini Miura SV parked in the neighbors driveway. The owner gave me rides often because I was so crazy about the car, and it’s still something I recall vividly. The sound of that 12 cylinder never leaves you.

@Harry - I'm a couple of decades younger than you. We lived a little further north in Wallasey (I think Iain Tyrrell was Poulton) and we had a little family cottage in mid Wales. As a child I loved being driven down by my parents but remember the joy of being able to do the run myself in a Pininfarina styled 406 coupe when I was older - passed Moel Famau, Ruthin, Bala, Brithdir... something special. I had the same feeling as you winding through the forestry commission lined roads then, and I have the same wistful memories now watching this video. I must go back and share it with my kids.

Emotional, nostalgic, beautiful scenery, lovely simple car and a really very happy man, such a joy to watch. I guess many will have memories similar Harry and trips with his father, one of mine relate to another Lancia, an Aurelia my dad drove back from Italy in 65, and A40 between High Wycombe and Ruislip, a journey we did many times when I was growing up. I have vivid memories of a traffic light Grand Prix starting at beaconsfield, we were up against a Mk1 Spitfire (all of 60hp…) up the then dual carriageway to to the Ickenham turn off, we were neck and neck before we had to turn off, epically exciting to a car mad 9 year old, like the Zagato we were probably doing 50 but it felt like 150…..This or the XJ, it’s draw for me.

A huge thank-you to this brilliant exposure of Harry's rememberings and emotions. It has reminded me how I fell in love with cars at the age of 8 (so 1967): calmly walking the short way from home to school, I was picked up by a friend of my father's in his Giulia 1300 berlina, and for a bit less than 200 m, I was fascinated by the engine sound, the beautifully low seating position, the gauges in the dashboard and the racing stance of the gear lever, low in the middle of the tunnel instead of hanging from the steering column. I suspect nobody would do what Harry has done and paid for the restoration of a Fulvia 1600 Zagato, hadn't it been such an emotional car for him. Thanks again for having shared the process with us the viewers.

Very nice video and proof that the story makes the car! I’m a modified Fulvia owner myself and it strikes me that this car is so noisy. It will not take long before you get tired of it. I think it deserves a proper airbox. Not easy with the DCOE conversion but doable and with a remote intake somewhere behind the Rh headlight it will make it a lot quieter and hence more enjoyable. Love it that your car life started with a Lancia. You need more of them!

One of the best sounding four cylinders I've heard.

That was awesome!! What a sound from that beautiful engine, in an equally stunning and very rare car!! You are a very lucky man Harry, but very well deserved too. I've watched the story of this and too see the smile on your face... You clearly know its been worth the journey!!!

Harry...that is one of your finest videos to date! I could feel your emotion outside the family home..then watching you drive your favourite road in Wales, whilst I followed you on my own map, pausing to keep up, was just superb! I'm driving to Anglesey from Kent next Saturday 29th April in my Z4M Coupe and will definitely take in this road! Thank you Harry!

I agree that it's great to have something fun that you can wring its neck and still stay at ( relatively ) safe speeds. It sounds great. And great that you showed us the spot where you first laid eyes on one. I think we all had our mental picture of what the scene would look like.

This car sounds glorious. My god it's such a beautiful machine. I'm so happy for you that you were able to find it and bring it back to it's glory. Wonderful trip as well. :) and what a patient wife! Thank you for filming.

Pure class. What a story and one that resonates with myself so much. Harry captures the hearts of petrol heads yet again! Thanks so much for sharing Harry. Ringo

That's the joy of a small light car these days, you can have a lot of fun at the speed limit, you can be driving along chuckling to yourself and still get out with a smile, great noise.

Thats really quite something to be able to recreate the scene from 50 years ago using the same car that you have managed to track down, restore and return to life after that complete rebuild. Amazing how it has survived to allow this to happen given the issues that were revealed by the guys at Day & Whites. Meant to be Harry. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic film Harry. Lovely car and great roads. It just shows you don’t need a hyper car to have fun! I have driven some of the roads around there and will revisit soon when my classic comes out of storage. Thanks 🙏
