1972 Lancia Fulvia - Exhaust Like a Swarm of Angry Bees! (POV Binaural Audio) 

Thanks for dropping a like to help more enthusiasts discover the classics! Would you have this '72, or opt for the wild Zagato?

It's depressing to think of what Lancia ended up as

I went to Ragusa, Sicily in August 1977, to visit some family members. The mother of one of my cousin's had one of these, but in Burgundy red . I asked her, if I could drive it around for a short distance on some twisty mountain roads. Wow I was astonished at how nimble and agile this Fulvia was. It handled the narrow and twisty roads with considerable ease. What a truly great and wonderful car, a real joy to drive.

Feels like I'm playing Dirt Rally again

An absolute beauty of a machine, I love it! Please bring more old-school Lancia, they truly were masterpieces of engineering and styling.

Top Gear (Season 14) named Lancia the best car maker ever! I would say they were not wrong

I’m so thrilled to see you driving my old car! I had a ‘72 Fulvia just like this, except mine was yellow with a black interior. It was such an exciting car to drive, it always felt like you were speeding, and that little engine just loved to be revved. It was also not a car you see in Connecticut where I live, and everywhere I went I got compliments and questions. The key to owning one (or most Italian cars) is to not drive them in wet conditions. My car had spent its first 35 years in Ibiza and was kept dry, I kept mine garaged in winter and on rainy days. It was also an easy car to maintain myself, except for really complex jobs. It was my second favorite car to drive that I ever owned, the first being a 1973 Lotus Europa John Player Special in black and gold. It handled like no other car I’ve ever driven, like the steering wheel was connected to my brain. It was a seriously fast little car that loved to be driven fast. I’m assuming you live in Massachusetts from where you get most of your cars from? Well, if you’ve never driven up to the top of Mt. Greylock in the Berkshires, you need to. I’d often take the Lotus or the Lancia up and down it totally mind blowing (as long as you’re not afraid of heights). Most of that area of the Berkshires has great roads for sports cars.

The Lancia Fulvia is the most beautiful front wheel drive car of all time, change my mind!

My Alfasud Sprint has the fuel jet sign too for the choke, rather than the more conventionnal butterfly symbol we're used too. And the ignition barrel is on the left of the column, so you have to turn the key towards you. I love those details

When I'm sad about the fact that I live in London and my Fulvia is in a garage in Italy, I open this video and listen to that engine. This cheers me up.

Italian old school! ;) And that v4 that roars... awesome Thanks for the review!

That is the most accurate tachometer I've ever seen in this era. To come out of Italy as well...

Absolutely gorgeous Coupé Lancia

I visited Rome in the summer of 1981, and in a city full of Fiat 500s and 750s tearing around within an inch of their red-line, there were still some of these to be seen for the person who could afford something in a class above the Fiats. Among the small FWD Italian cars, the Lancia Fulvia (1500 or 1600 cc's at that time) were the top of the heap.

...Again, the symphony of that V4!!!! What a stunning car!!! It is indeed a beautiful, high-quality, and competent coupe. My uncle had the exact same model, but in light blue (peacock blue) - loooooovely car! The thing was built to such incredibly high quality!!!

This is one of the best sounding 4 cyl

What a beautiful car. It looks very well maintained. The seats look amazing!

Leather seats is a bomb!

From Naples to USA! I love the "Blue Lancia" paint on that beautiful car.

first time I've heard Lancia pronouced correctly haha! what a car though, so much history, Lancia made some seriously amazing cars in the 20th Century, piloted by some of greatest drivers of their time.

I was unnerved by last week's Maybach, but I could not place why it did work for me. I realized that any car company currently around would make exactly that Maybach if given enough money. The vehicle isolates you. It has no soul. There isn't an original though in The Maybach. Watching this Lancia be odd nails it. This Fulvia has a soul. It proudly has fun and does it with chutzpah.

One of my favourite cars, it looks so beautiful .

One of my most favourite Italian coupes ever! So happy you got to drive it!

This one the 72 is such a more refined car than the 69! It really is a much better and put well put together car.

My dad just imported one of these recently, beautiful little cars

Inb4 Tedward drops a video with the road version of the 037 or Delta S4, what a dream. Your reviews are the best man, definitely wish you success, you deserve it

Since Ted drived a Lancia in the last video, I knew when 72 Fulvia comes by.

Tedward that knob under the dash that you referred to is the choke and the dash lamp indicates when the choke is on. Those cars are funny that way; the heat control and the hood release are also located under the dash. Unless the interior of the car you drove has been reupholstered the seats are vinyl. I had to look at the backing of the seats on my ‘66 Fulvia to determine that as the quality of the vinyl is that good. I agree that the 4-speed gearbox has a much nicer feel to it.

Haven’t even watched the full thing yet , but it goes into my favorites. Amazing wanna-have cars of all time!

Lancia has won in rallys and not with all types of cars. FWD, RWD, 4x4, NA, Turbo, Supercharged, Turbocharged+Supercharged. I don't think a real car guy could not love this brand. And the Fulvia is one of the best of them all

Beautiful looking car. I've heard of the Lancia Fulvia. And I've seen pics of them. But I've never seen one in person. 🙂

Theres one beeing sold for 14500€ very close to me with only 18k kilometers. I am so damn tempted to buy it and this video hasnt made it any better. :D

One of my fave cars in Dirt Rally XD

I like how the pops are like soft tambourine slaps rather than the fairly annoying at times very loud pops and bangs of modern cars.

Next video: "Thanks to Bond Group I'm driving this Lancia 037!"

Man its nice finding a new car review channel, great work!

lovely car. I would so love one of these. A coop is where you keep chickens.

Those italians license plates were from the 70s, when Italian vehicles were plated by regions. As an example the one in the trunk had the NA initials which stands for Napoli (NA) naples

Chefs kiss

I like this the best!! Beautiful and luxurious

This thing is awesome man🔥🔥

What a beautiful car!

Car that can rev to the limit with a reason is fun

Loved my Lancia! The mechanical hand carved feel of everything is something special. Mine was a blue 2 liter Beta coupe. Top Gear did a hit job on the car I know. To be fair they were sadly bad for rust. They had been bought by Fiat true but they were true Lancias. The engine was an inline 4 from Fiat but Mr. Lampredi's little four banger was pretty wonderful too. I have very found memory of drifting down little gravel roads. Amazed at how happy it was in it's element. Your videos have great sound just wish I could feel and smell the inside of that car too. Sounds crazy but I'm sure you know where I'm coming from.

Gorgeous CAR !! thanks for sharing !!

Such a smart looking sports coupe.. 😊

Awesome vid man! 🔥

Masterpiece.

I miss those times when a 1.3 litre engine was good enough to have fun with!

So so slick. One of my dream cars

Oh my god... just like the one my granpa had! What a fantastic little car!!!

I used to hate slow cars but after owning a car that has 100hp I have to love slow cars. You can slam it and feel as if your going fast and yet, you are still under the speed limit. Its great.

oh god ! what a car italian real classic one. thanks man for that.

I've never quite had the same softspot for the fulvia that I have for the Alfa GTA, but thats kind of like saying i don't like winning one lottery as much as winning another lottery!

ahh that sound :)

Awesome car had one back in 1982. So nice

I'm glad this didn't rust away lmao I wonder if Top Gear was exaggerating about that

I would drive this car. It sounds like angry bees in a good way, and I bet with it being a high revving V4 it has a respectable amount of power.

That’s cool

My all time favourite car

Dude I can only imagine trashing it on a rally stage lol

I was hoping you'd drive one of these

Lovely car iv had it for 3 years and did a lot of travelling around Greece.Nice handling , never had problems.

It was the favorite car of upper-class ladies in the 1960s.

Such a beauty❤

0:55 Wow! Looks soo good! Too bad Lancia is dead but those cars what produce are simply golden. Pls next Lancia 037 Road car.

Excellent video. Thank you

Wonderful car, I love it! Thank you for an interesting ride! I hope someday to see on your channel Alfa Romeo Giulia 1300 Junior, the main rival of this Lancia. Well, speaking of Italian cars (and a little bit about the British), I really really wanted a comparative test drive between the Fiat 124 Sport Spider, Alfa Romeo Spider and MGB

01:51 polished stainless steel. Hardly any chrome on a Fulvia. I know.

Beautiful.. take my money now

The lever that raise up the rpm it was used for cold start in the morning to better warm up the motor, did you know that the car came from naples, thats why in the plate there was an NA

Hi ted:)

Finally someone who pronounces it correctly!.

I'd like to see a go pro mounted above the exhaust, like what jayemm does

Il volante in legno era uno status simbolo negli anni '70

I love this car. I came close to purchase one with exactly this dark blue color in 91/92 for my wife. It was sitting at a dealer opposite our house for 7000 Deutsch Marks. That was a little too much at the end and we ended up buying a used Polo GT instead.

Kudos for actually pronouncing Lancia correctly!

Rally Legend

Please do an Autobianchi A112 review. Any type. Abarth or not.

Makes me wonder if Bob Hall ever drove one....

Keep up the good work. This is off topic from this video… but hopefully you can get your hands on the new Civic SI pretty soon and tell us what you think.🤙🏻

Just a beautiful car!

Magnifico! ❤

Love these cars

I'm Italian and every time i see what type of car Lancia produced 30, 40 years ago, is strange to say but i'm sad. Because these cars are only a far memory; with the fulvia and the Delta we have also beaten Audi in the WRC in 1987, but now? well..we can say unfortunately that they no longer exist. The Fulvia has not been produced for 50 years, the stratos (another Lancia rally car that has practically disappeared) and the Delta well, they tried to revive it with a new model in 2010 but it was not very successful because it was fitted with a fiat engine, and now she too is out of production. Everything that Vincenzo Lancia, the founder, worked for in his life has been lost, and believe me when I tell you that as an Italian these words were difficult to write. All that remains is the memory, the memory of a past that can no longer return.

Nice one! If old italian cars, I hope you'll drive a Fiat 2300 S Coupe too one day! :) Or a Stilo Abarth 2.4 20V at least. :D

next car you need to drive tedward i'd love to see is the old style gt 86 :3 the thing that started drifting

Thick wheels prevent my fingers from cramping, plus provide more leverage, especially when steering is unassisted. But that's just me.

I am Italian and I can say that our historic cars are very fascinating ... the tobacco-colored interiors are a wonderful thing ... however, it was right to keep the original plates

Thank you for the video! wonderful little car. I think the orange light at the bottom of the tacho is to remind you the hand brake is on?

I would gladly choose this over any supercar.

That's the choke

Lancia is a magnetic name.. lovely name ,is time for Lancia 2022..new power of LANCIA..♥️🤗🚘🚗

LANCHO

First rule of safety: Adjust all your mirrors.

scca rallye vibes ftw

I need to find one of these at some point in my life. I prefer the looks of the Series 1 tbh, but I'll take what I can get! Not a fan of the looks of the Zagato. PS, I also love slow cars because you can play around even if there's traffic. Its something I really love about my RX-7, it'd be generous to say it has 90hp at the wheels, but it is just so much fun to drive.

I like it

it´s a choke !
