What a strange few hours....
Get a txt from a close friend, saying he's bought something Italian beginning with La...see you at 7.
Then get a call at 6:30 saying he has broken down, maybe run out of petrol, and he has forgotten his wallet!
I say, well what have you broken down in? the reply...a one owner '74 Lancia Fulvia 3 he has just bought today!
Jump in car with my emergency 20lt can and 10 minutes later see an absolutely lovely dark blue Fulvia parked at the side of the road.
Empty can into car, and instead of the fuel gauge reading half, it now reads empty...but unfortunately no joy, turns over and just splutters and stalls, then the battery dies, no choice but to leave with a call logged to the AA, and it now dark.
What a shame to the first day of Fulvia ownership for my good friend.
Looking forward to seeing it run...very shortly hopefully.
