My twin brother with his Fulvia is trying to revive the Jolly Club UK and we're getting recognition from Italy which is very nice in memory of our father and his time with them from 68 to 73.
Going to mean a few more European Jollies now and the hunt on for my own to have here in France.

My brother was at Tanc Barratts yesterday in stormy weather but the Fulvia took it in it's stride.

My brother using his Fulvia all year around is being noted as the most used one in the UK and Europe the World according to the Marque Specialists that he mixes with.
Back I September we didn't see another on the road on the whole of the Alpine Tour.

An interesting fact is that the Works cars on Torino plates had gold wheels but the Jolly Club cars on Milano plates had silver wheels and our father was part of the Holly Club and what we're doing is a homage to him.
I'll bow to your wisdom as I'm relatively new to the Fulvia stable although expect to be here for sometime.

My Montrecarlo annoy's the purists, wrong wheels, wrong seats, wrong bonnet and boot, wrong colour dash, wrong steering wheel etc. etc. etc. but all the mods were done in period, the dash was painted black like the works cars, the original HF seats were replaced (although wish I still had them as spares) with period bucket seats, and the steering wheel was smaller and angled so that you could read the important part of the rev counter. Alloy bonnet and boot panels from a Fulvia S1 and magnesium 13" wheels. All these changes and the fact there is a map reading light for the passenger suggests that it was road rallied in the day which is why the upgrades all make sense and won't be changed in my ownership. It's a pity that the Italians rarely keep history with their cars so no way of knowing what it was up to. The drivers seat has a signature but despite searching the internet can finding nothing about the name or relation to Lancia or Motorsport in anyway.
