Readers' Photos # 60: Lancia Fulvia
Mrs UMPH isn't a bad sort, really, especially when she spots and photographs classic Italian cars for me! I've seen the car she snapped - the lovely Lancia Fulvia shown above - in and around Hobart but I've never been able to capture it myself.
There's a second blue Fulvia that's occasionally seen in the city that I believe is an ex-South African vehicle, as well as one that was under restoration by Steven Swade of Swadeology fame. However, I have no idea what's become of his car now that he's left Tasmania.
Two Fulvia Zagatos - one red, the other blue - also live in the southern part of the state and both have previously featured on this 'blog, as have a number of other Lancias. The marque is, however, one of the rarer and lesser known Italian car manufacturers, which I reckon is a great excuse to showcase a few examples here.
If the cars above have whetted your appetite, you might also enjoy: https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=7165367970551834236#editor/target=post;postID=2875599032970721071;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=11;src=postname . Not all the cars shown are local but the post features a huge contingent of Lancias that were touring Tasmania from elsewhere in Australia.
