On You Tube just released, is a Harrys Garage 1st part of a series covering his Zagato engine rebuild and other work. Some of you will know the guys and workshop doing the work. Interesting back story: he discovered that he'd known this particular vehicle from childhood in 73 and talks about it on a previous video on the car.

What a superb video of an engine strip down and what a jewel the Fulvia engine is.

Lovely stuff. These are the same guys that stripped and overhauled my Beta gearbox, and their knowledge and attention to detail shines through in this video.

You would think with his 'Expert Status' he would have done a basic magnet over the body check and been expecting a nightmare.

I rather got the impression he bought it partly for sentimental reasons and was expecting extensive work. He doesn't really seem phased by their findings even though he had hoped to get it roadworthy for a while before starting on major bodywork.

Hi
I think you are correct. Have to say I did find the videos a bit long winded.

There's been many more episodes of this restoration which is now almost complete save for dyno and snags. Here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOvglCtzneM Harry takes the car to where he first saw it outside his family home 50 years ago, and a run through the Welsh countryside. |
