Taking my Lancia Zagato back to where I first saw it 50 years ago & driving it on my favourite roads

It's fifty years since I first spotted this Lancia Fulvia 1600 Zagato outside my parents house and that moment changed my perception of cars forever, making me the petrolhead I am today.
In this video I take my now fully restored Zagato back to the spot I first saw it in Birkenhead all those years ago and then drive it to my favourite road, to see how it feels when ragged now it's fully run in.

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!

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.

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. I was riding in a car going south on Interstate 25 between Denver and Castle Rock when one passed us. I was mesmerized. 10 years later I bought one and I still have it. 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.

The nostalgier started in the first minutes for me as my first car was a Heinkel bubble car. A claimed top speed of 54mph but that was only achievable downhill with a following wind. Going uphill usually created long tailbacks behind, but great to see your parents had one. Loved the way the smile never left Harry's face on the drive in Wales, what an excellent video which just left a feeling of contentment. More please Harry

Hi Harry, growing up in Kenya, my family relocated to Northamptonshire in 1973, moving to the small village of Loddington. I remember the UK as quite a drab place, with predominantly dull British cars such as Vauxhalls, Marinas, Maxis, Fords, the odd Triumph etc but on our cue-de-sac there was a bit of glamour in the form of an orange Morgan and an orange Fulvia Zagato. My favourite car at the time was an Alfa 2000 GTV; plentiful in Kenya but rare in Northants, so the strange looking Lancia was some sort of an Alfa substitute, but I did not fully appreciate it until much later in life. But like you I have strong memories of it.

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!

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 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.

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.

Over fifty years ago, the road into Ruthin was my favourite too Harry. You see, I was 4 or 5 years of age and I travelled along that road in my Dad's wagon - from Lancashire, to collect railway sleepers. The wagon was a much-travelled 1959 AEC, which had been stretched, an axle added, but most importantly - no engine modifications - making it slower than a three-legged tortoise. It just gave me even more time to look out of the windows at all that glorious countryside around me. Thank you for the trip along a shared memory lane.

Thank you, Harry! Great videos as always but not just videos. But videos with heart and soul in it.

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 🙏

A true car enthusiast. Driving quickly in slow cars is so much more fun than driving slowly in fast cars. My first cars in the 60s were all VW beetles and then a fastback. Wonderful fun with under 100 HP.

Such a wonderful and personal video, Harry! I loved every minute of it, sharing how you got into mopeds, bikes and cars. Giving us all the stories of your youth, your family and the day you saw HER! This amazing Lancia Fulvia Zagato. Incredible that this is the one! Full cred to Mrs M for camera work!

Delightful! I’ve just started rebuilding my Lancia Delta HF and I really can’t wait until it’s up and running so I can take in roads like this. This is absolutely where Lancias come alive!

Thanks Harry. Loved your Lancia story from start to finish. Some of my favourite roads on show here, but I never tell anyone about them as I like them best when they're quiet. Congratulations on a quality proper job.
