@@harrysgarageSounds quite like a quieter (lots) version of my race prep’d Lotus Sunbeam engine, with Works manifold. Trouble is, the Lotus often sounded like a bag of spanner’s due to all the bits of broken iron rattling around inside! 😮😢😢😢
@harrysgarage Hi harry I have an s1 fulvia similar spec gp4 ect only mines 1401cc interesting to hear you have a little fluff at 2k as as I do we’ve managed to dial it out almost on the rolling road playing with the jets ,dellorto 40s 123 programable dizzy same exhaust lay out only in mild steel not to tinny for my taste love the power delivery goes like stink from 4800 right up to 7000rpm the tuner reckons she will keep going to 8 k , not while I’m watching 😂 , would be good if you came down to goodwood 26th August lmc track day stretch the zags legs a bit with us thanks for the vids , Jim
God that induction sound from those Webers is just absolutely addictive, what a beautifully characterful car and engine, proper old school analogue driving
Really enjoyed that update Harry. The Fulvia sounds fantastic. Also loved the classic Italian style tip of the hat, of the donning of the Panerai and the vintage Fulvia.
The Zagato is one of my new favourites and I didn’t even know of the Cars existence till you introduced it. Plus I just like it was properly restored from the mess it was in.
At one point you looked like you were conducting an orchestra in the Fulvia🙂The Espada…. I think we had the full gamut of human emotions in this episode Harry.
The little Lancia Zagato is such a great looking car! (Sounds fantastic too!) that still could be a contemporary design. It just looks so modern, despite originating from the mid 1960s.
Sunday luxury time. Coffe mug within reach and Harrys Garage on the tube 😊 what’s not to like. And the Zagato sounds fantastic. Not too loud but with a wonderful burble. Ace. 😃👌
Thanks for this, Harry! Sorry that you are having such a bad summer. I hope, though, that your harvest will be bountiful and the prices that you sell your harvests for will be high. 🙂
That Lancia sounds absolutely glorious! Lots of induction roar on an engine that responds immediately to a touch of throttle are my favourite engine sounds.
Great as always. Always worry that something might be flagged for moving on, and always looking forward to more road trips. Can't wait for the Jag one and the Porsche and Lambo news/future will be great too. Keep it coming please Harry!
A woman I worked with in the late 1970s owned a Lancia Fulvia 1.6 HF Coupe. She let me drive it a few times and I remember that distinctive V4 sound. Nice to have the reminder.
I really like the exhaust noise. It's sounds really nice. 950 Kg its must a Treat to drive. And the countach looks PERFECT now. Thanks for all the good content.
That "BDA sound" is EXACTLY how I remember my Fulvia 1600HF, from 45 years ago when I had it! At last, yours is sounding the way it should. I think I mentioned just this when your early, pre-restoration Zagato videos were first up. Mine was a little rocket when properly tuned, but keeping those carbs balanced was a nightmare, unless the guy with the screwdriver really knew his stuff. Fortunately, the legendary Harry Manning did my car. Those were the days...
@novemq Indeed they were the days at Harry's - did a quite few jobs on both of my S2 1600 HF coupes, lots of skilled advice such as how to change timing chain, etc. Not forgetting being sent to make the tea🫖!
When I lived in the Cotswolds, I used to enjoy blasting down the A417 from Lechlade to Faringdon and back up from Faringdon to Burford on the Radcot Road. Great driving roads all around there.
Zagato sounds great the exhaust really has finished it off👍 recently visted the cotswolds in my classic bmw some fantastic roads around there. Put my foot to the floor coming out of Burford up the hill it had to be done 😂
Rotten luck with the espada Harry, can't believe the bearing in the disi failed after so little mileage, completely understand your exasperation and frustration as you are normally so patient😁!!, if anyone can sort it the marvellous Iain Tyrell will I'm sure!!. Love all the work and your input into the zagato restoration, looks great, sounds amazing now with the new exhaust-made me smile too when you were almost conducting the soundtrack as you revved it up, just brilliant!!. If anyone fails to understand why a metal box with a wheel at each corner engenders such an emotional response in drivers, male and female, they only have to see the grin on your face, then they will 'get it'. Cheers.
Beautiful Italian music there Harry. Its great you are finally getting to enjoy the car after the full restoration, hopefully the weather will come good at some stage before the Autumn rolls in. Looks like you can get away without using the wipers, plenty of beading of the water streaming off the windscreen there. Real shame you are having all of the spark problems with the Espada. I actually got one of those ignition systems for my '68 Cooper, haven't fitted it yet though so I might just hold off for a while. Very much looking forward to seeing you driving the two mighty F cars, that should be worth the wait 😉
Quite right on the BDA - we had a1600 in an Escort in the 70's with a 40 DFAI downdraught where the second choke kicks in around 3200 and wow, how entertaining. As for the Lancia, the intake suck outdid the exhaust in the sound department, so we could hear the exact position of the accelerator pedal. Nonstandard banana bunch manifold from Mike the Pipe. Happy Days.
Another great video, Harry. Thank you. I noticed at the very end, your glorious Zagato had an overactive front indicator. It looked like the rear bulb had blown. But you've probably sorted it out by now 😊
I love the Lancia. I don't see them here in Northeast PA in America. I have only seen one in my lifetime so it's amazing to me. Sounds great with the new exhaust.
Lancia Zagato Fulvia is a lovely car and sounds fantastic. I had a Fulvia 1600 HF back in the mid 1990's a well known car REG ROT 950M. fantastic car, I think it's in Switzerland now, one I should have kept. great recap Bob
It occurs to me that you want to be _very_ certain that exhaust isn't being pulled into the car through the hatch on the Fulvia, particularly (and paradoxically) when the windows are open - there is a venturi created by the air flowing over open windows that generates overall negative pressure in the cabin. A friend once had a MKIII Escort in which people in the back seats used to feel sick in the summer - turned out the rear hatch wasn't sealing properly and with the windows open (which they tended to be in the summer) it was indeed pulling exhaust into the car though it. He and others (including myself) had noticed the odd smell sometimes and assumed it was getting in via the bulkhead, we spent a day fruitlessly trying to find gaps or openings in it
Good pointing this out. In the 1960s, here in the US General Motors learned this lesson with their cabin fresh air ventilation “exhausts” which were around the trunk lid or rear window. To the layman it seems impossible fumes would work their way against the direction of travel and back through the vents but exactly that would happen in certain conditions and models, such as the Eldorado and Toronado. GM attempted redesigning the vents several times before being eliminated all together.
@@Jaq365 You are correct, carbon monoxide (CO) is undectable by the human nose. However, exhaust gases emitted by the engine include a mix of toxic gases and not just pure CO - where the others include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, particles, volatile organic compounds and sulfur dioxide. Thankfully the human smelling sense will detect most of them.
