Lancia Fulvia Zagato 1600 restoration Part 1. Engine removal & strip down
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2021
- This Lancia Fulvia Sport (Zagato) 1600 means a lot to me because this very car first sparked my interest in cars way back in 1973 when, coming home from school one day, I spotted it parked outside my parents house.
That's why I'm now embarking on a full restoration of 'Zag' with Lancia (and Alfa) specialists, Day and Whites, and over the coming months you'll be joining me along the way!

Harry, it's no inconvenience to film in this manner, we're happy to enjoy the free and fascinating content - keep it up!
TOTALLY AGREE
Seconded.
Yes! Love this
Perfect Sunday Viewing 👌
At first it was hard to understand them w the masks and lack of mics, but I caught in. The dismantling actually seemed a bit sexual
Detailed strip down on an unusual engine, without lots of editing and silly soundtrack, conducted by master craftsmen. What's not to like on a Sunday eve? Well done Harry for showcasing this engineering work of art!
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it. I was fascinated by this engine during the strip-down, so good to hear I'm not the only one! This video won't be for everyone but if you're into engines, then I think you'll love it!
"without lots of editing and silly soundtrack, " You read my mind.
Random tip triggered by your use of the phrase “unusual engine.” Be sure to check out “Some Unusual Engines” by LJK Setright!
@@harrysgarage If there was a channel dedicated to engine teardowns I would be all into that, the fact that this teardown is of a rare Italian classic makes all the better. Thanks for the video.
@@harrysgarage Agreed. I really enjoyed the Espada rebuild. Looking forward to seeing this.
I can’t believe how professional and Quick these guys are. You got the right team on this Harry 👍
Lancias were so beautifully engineered. That V4 is a little gem of an engine. Looking forward to the next episode.
My son in law is a director of an engineering firm in Surrey. Strangely, their shop floor all stop for a tea break as well, when Pop master comes on. Could only happen in the UK !
Yes I had builders in and I wasn’t allowed to talk to them when Popmaster was on! Unbelievable! Great to watch the guys work on the engine. Well done Harry and all involved for a splendid video.
Ken Broooooce!
Don't know how anyone can stand R2 these days, the amount of rubbish they play, it's just an extension of radio one.
My dad used to down Tools for Pop master too!
@@stevefuller1779 not sure how anyone can stomach most of anything being broadcast, tbh. Culture stopped a few decades ago. It's just bland, corporate crap and political propaganda everywhere now.
Perfectly timed rebuild. Not premature... when the wearing parts have worn and before the non-wearing parts start to wear. 👍🏻
Say that again after 1,5 year...
First you introduce us to Iain Tyrrell and now we get to meet the team at Day and Whites. It gives a fantastic insight into the work these amazing mechanics can carry out. Given the range of vehicles in your fleet, I cannot wait to meet the next team.
Please keep this type of content coming Harry. The review stuff on the latest modern vehicles is great - between you and Henry C, we are seeing have some great review content at the moment but this type of video focusing on mechanical engineering and restoration is fantastic and a welcome distraction from yet another overpowered car with too many touch screens.
Right so these guys are terrible, my dad has a Alfa Romeo series two spider, he took it to them for welding work, a respray and some minor engine work. Not only did they take months longer than they said they would, but the paintjob was shoddy and has been a coming off the car, meaning we now have to get it resprayed at a much better firm called BJ miles in Crayford, who are great with paint and bodywork and specialise in old cars. But that wasn't the end of it, now aside from the shitty don't blame us attitude, they also messed up the engine tuning causing the car to run like a dog and forgot to tighten up the nuts on the wheels, so my dad could have been killed driving it back. That firm is a joke and if you like your car, don't bring it there, they look impressive from the outside, but they do shoddy work. They will blame any mishap with the line 'well its an old car' and honestly the service overall was appalling. And my dads not inexperienced with cars either, he's got classic bikes and can rebuild engines, me and my brother have had a lot of classic cars and he's helped us out a lot with them, including an engine swap at one point, so its not like he's clueless and simply doesn't know what hes talking about, basically they will charge you high prices for sub par work.
If you want contacts to great old school mechanics, I have a few.
@@jh565bb yes please. I'm SE London so be grateful for a lead.
@@cyborg7116 BJ miles if you want a body work specialist, I'm not sure about an engine specialist though.
@@jh565bb thanks for that I'll look them up.
A new Harry's Garage video. Exactly what is needed on a miserable February winter's day👍🏼
Definitely
@Viktor Sligo It does me. I'm a shorts n t-shirt, Summer type ;-)
Wow, the orange w/ stripe looks killer!
Looking forward to the respray video whenever/if it happens
"Italian horsepower but the horses are a little smaller" .... LOLZ
@@Oldsmobile69 No they're not! The dark blue saloon is another Lancia (Flavia or 2000).
@@saxon-mt5by Flavia 2000 Lusso I think.
I did chortle when that line dropped 😂
"Izalian ponies", as uttered on many a Porsche car launch 😉
The Lancia Delta was sold in Sweden as a Saab...
John Day just quietly says "done a few of these" Nice understatement
Just realised of everything in Harry's Garage, THIS is the one car that I'd really like to own. Great to watch this fettling - thank you.
It’s thoroughly enjoyable watching experts and specialists in a particular marque lovingly dismantling something, knowing that absolutely everything they touch will be returned to its former glory, if not improved. I’ve always been wholly indifferent to Lancia and I find I am immensely interested in this project nonetheless! It’s a credit to your own passion that it is infectious-THAT is the kind of virus that could do with a bit more spreading around! 👍
They certainly know their way round your car, no waffle or bragging themselves up like a lot of classic car "so called specialists" , just getting on with it in a no nonsense fashion, absolutely ideal. Certainly should bring back some memories for you if you decide to go back to the original colour scheme of the car. On the subject of pricing of Lancias a lot of expense was due to the huge tax levy put on foreign imported goods after the 2nd world war by Clement Attleee in order to protect the British ecomony .The same happened to Alfa Romeos and the Volvo P1800 in the 1960's early 1970s before we joined the Common Market .
Silly as I may sound, this is one of my favorite cars of your entire collection
😂 John Day I've done a few of these 👌
Understatement of the video
Bought back happy memories of my late brother and me at our garage. We argued more.
As a child of the 70s it’s so nice to see Lancias again, lusted after them as a kid and was heartbroken when they left these shores.
So rewarding to see such a beautiful example getting the treatment it deserves to be preserved for another 50 years - providing petrol is still available then.
Thanks again Harry, fast becoming a lockdown champion.
I just love watching true mechanical artists at work. No bodging just do it once do it right. No corners cut. Oh if only all companies took this approach. Thanks Harry.
When the valve cover was removed, it reminded me of what you see after taking the back off a quality Swiss watch. Absolutely exquisite engineering.
Yes I could strip a chronograph watch like that years ago, what an engine a real work of art.
Lancia engines have always been brilliantly engineered, Italian engines in general, great to see real engine guru's who know their stuff, great video once again Harry, a real Sunday highlight.
Real skill from the guys in the shop, very understated and not a lot of words from the master John Day; just doing what he does best. Good to see Brian got a credit.
It’s a great morning when I get a new Alan Millyard and Harry’s Garage video
@marcus price Ha Ha
Didn't knew how these special engines were made, thanks.
Such a pleasure seeing time served technicians take an engine apart. Great video and by no way compromised by Covid. 👍
The engineers are just so very, very good. Joy to watch them work.
I got to see one of these in my small town in Missouri. The showed me around and told me the history of the car. Gorgeous Zagato.
Brilliant video! Thanks for staying safe and keeping us all safe. I believe whenever you “restore” an old car (not a Concourse trailer queen), always install electric fuel pump, electronic distributor, electric fan with possibly upgraded radiator and front disc brakes where necessary. That will almost guarantee it _RUNS_ well in the modern world.
Agree with you. I always think if 'x' was available back in the day, would they have fitted it? If the answer is definitely yes, then it goes on. Silly to fossilise cars when there's new stuff available that makes them even better to drive
I like Harrys spirit. The show must go on!
I generally refrain from commenting on videos. But, this is by far my favourite car in your garage and looking forward to the rebuild and hearing its artful engine rev again. Orange wouldn't be a bad move either.
Out of all of the wonderful cars you have owned and reviewed, the little Zagato , for me , is the sweet spot in your collection.
Lancia all the way for me.
I prefer You tube content from individuals like you rather than anything on TV. Thank you for making the content you do.
Old school is the best school. Proper mechanics. No inconvenience with the face nappies Harry. Just part of life at the moment. Thank you for showing this ... Fascinating.
Right so these guys are terrible, my dad has a Alfa Romeo series two spider, he took it to them for welding work, a respray and some minor engine work.

My dad has had to fix numerous issues mechanically and some of is wear an tear, but some of it was their shitty workman ship, I wouldn't slag these guys off, if they weren't absolute cowboys and while they did offer to right the wrongs, they were going to charge him all over again. Honestly mate avoid them like the plague, ill happily give you the contact numbers for better people, who actually know what they are doing.
That's what I call proper entertainment, what a fascinating motor!
Hooning around the countryside with a car the price of a house is amusing, but this, this has me plastered to my screen. What a compact little powerhouse!
Yes! Been eagerly waiting for this since you first shared the car on the channel. Thanks for documenting the work during these crazy times!
It is like a big boys lolly shop. I could hear the excitement in everyones voices.
This will be fantastic, it's a cracking little car, so glad she's getting some love!
Those guys made that look a simple as opening a can of beans, great knowledge and skillset. Enjoyable watching.
Thanks for watching. This video won't be for everyone but if you appreciate good engineering, then I expect you'll enjoy it. I was amazed by this little engine, especially once we'd got it down into component form.
Apropos opening a can of beans, that "MOT-wack" to the undercarriage wasn't such a bad attempt...lol
Harry, you've got to take it the original colour.
Thumb's up Harry, So glad your going to do your best to cover this for us Harry, with the lockdown and very thing it is a really great thing to do and helps us viewer's through the difficult times !
Channel's like yours and others in the car community are something to look forwards too...
Well-done and best of health to you and yours.
Paul UK
Finally a Harry’s Garage video! The only videos with no nonsense about cars on youtube. Always looking forward to your videos!
I'm so happy to see the Lancia get some love. I really do like that little thing with the big voice
As cars increasingly become black boxes it's fascinating to watch this and the Lambo engine rebuilds. Very valuable, informative and enjoyable thanks :)
Such a beautiful car with a wonderful story. So happy it’s receiving this TLC - it’s a keeper. Thank you for sharing the journey.
I’m happy to say i am one of the people who enjoy this technical videos just as much as your driving videos. Lovely car harry, i think at some point it’ll deserve a full restoration to bring it back to the condition you first saw it back when you were a kid. Can’t wait for part 2 now!
PS. Thanks Harry. I greatly appreciate your efforts to keep us all sane with interesting news from the garage and farm.
Another great video Harry and great to see that the whole country is united by Ken Bruce and Pop Master!
Brilliant to show these guys’ skills to a wider public - totally see why you would trust these specialists - keep up the good work
Lancia Engineering and Car Design was well head of its time. So many firsts, that’s why I love Lancia.
Once you get to know Lancia, you soon realise it's so sad they no longer exist. This little car is a marvel and is packed full of clever engineering.
What an amazing engine. The mental gymnastics the engineers did with all the angles and the compactness of the whole package is a head trip. Imagine if you were an engineer building one of these first time after building regular engines, a real head scratcher. Great video as always, a distraction from work, COVID, and a 10 oF morning. Edit, please no apologizing, this was a great episode, look forward to part II.
Only Harry's garage could have me watching an engine disassembly and enjoy it!
Anyone else getting virtua fighter 2 vibes from Brian?! :)
Great to see these old classics getting a new lease of life. Love seeing the engineering on these and the skilled automotive artists at work to keep them in the condition they deserve.
Finding a scored bearing shell is a very good thing - it means that your investment in a rebuild has allowed you to dodge an engine "event".
The sound of that car! Like angels pissing on my eardrums! Wonderful.
that Oh No! moment when the tape was pulled away ..... looking forward to see that repair as well as the engine rebuild. Well done Harry, better than TV!
Fascinating seeing the engineering that’s gone into the little Lancia. Great to see the teardown on the engine by guys who really know what they’re doing. Would love to see the car back in its original blood orange colour. With the black bonnet stripe it’s a great look. Brilliant video Harry.
This is not only an engine - this is a piece of art. Just look at the oil pan!
I always loved Lancias, the perfect mix of engineering and design. And allways a little bit different. Shame, how this company ended.
Thank you for sharing! Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹 Stay healthy!
Thanks so much for watching. Lancia engineering is quite addictive, I had no idea this was so until I bought this car! I hope you enjoy the series of videos as we bring this car back to better than new.
Always wanted to to see the internals on these Lances v4 engines, a real work of art. Fantastic coverage, great video keep them coming Harry. 👍
The start of another great ‘mini series’!
Absolute quality love these rebuild vids. Master technicians who know everything about these old classics

I've sent this message to a few people because Id hate to see any classic car enthusiasts ripped off like my dad was. If you are local ill happily give you numbers to much better mechanics. I've had three classic cars so far a 73, 72 triumph spitfire and currently a 62 sunbeam rapier and I trust these guys to do anything to the cars.
Great watching people who really know what their doing work on an engine like this. Thanks for posting !
This car is stunning! Loads more Lancia content please! Great job
Heard a lot about these engines, now a live teardown of the special engine.
Thank you. A real pleasure and very reassuring to watch a couple of clearly very experienced and knowledgeable technicians working together without hesitation, or the need for lots of commentary. Some things are definitely best left to the professionals! Very much looking forward to the follow up videos.. :-)
Thank you Day &Whites for letting us in your shop, true professionals at work.
Always nice to see an engine come apart , with experienced engine builders , and what a smashing little unit , its different but beautifully designed ,and from the milage obviously works very well , its going to be good to see this all come back together ,can't wait .
It's amazing the level of engineering there and how well thought and precise is everything. Had the chance to work in a car company for a few years; one of the old guys there turned out to be an Alfa Romeo fan who defined the cars as engineering marvels with bad components.
Reassuring that there is the knowledge and the passion out there to keep these machines alive nice job👍
Wow..absolutely fascinating.
Nothing more interesting than watching highly skilled. passionate experts at work.
Bravo Mr Harry and 'Day and Whites'
Fabulous stuff.
Thankyou Harry that little engine of yours is quite the work of art.
Harry,you are an excellent custodian,she will see us all out.
Lovely. Watching people who knows their stuff and like doing it makes me happy.
Really look forward to these videos every Sunday through lockdown, particularly when I can’t get out on the bike or in the car. Thanks for the great content.
Fascinating. I’ve read about these engines, and have seen many engine bay photos, but this was my first chance to see a teardown. Great stuff, thanks!
This is guna be another fascinating insight from the strip down to the rebuild, seeing and exploring the engineering marvels along the way! Obviously the guys doing this are the ones for the job! And however you have to film this Harry will be just fine, as your content is always top notch. Can't wait to see the next episode already! Great stuff as always 😊
I love the fact that there's a radio show that stops Britain in their tracks while they gather 'round and have a listen. It's a certain old fashioned charm that I haven't experienced in the US in years.
Yeah, the Brits have always been cukoo for their family pop music shows, like TOTPs. Has something to do with the war...
This was mind blowing! Crazy angles on the engine and those pistons!!! Great vid! 👍👍
Always love these sorts of videos, can see why the Fulvia was expensive when it was new.
Glad you decided to go ahead with this project Harry
Wow what an amazing design. Love things like this. Reminds me of my apprenticeship many moons ago. On Jaguars. Thank you will watch all the videos posted religiously
Another reason why your the best out there.....your happy and knowledgeable with the dirty bits...under the bonnet and under the car in general.....Very interesting and watchable as always.
Hello. That's always great to see engine inside stuff/rebuilding, engineering history, etc...
Thank you very much and cheers from Spain.
Great to see specialists are alive and well.
What a captivating insight into the engineering integrity of your Lancia. Only minutes into the strip down and I think all of us realised you had certainly chosen the right skilled workshop to reinvigorate that little jewel of a car.
Superb coverage Harry-just so interesting to see a ‘live’ strip down. Can’t wait for the next update
What a great insight to the Fulvia engine. Thanks for the video Harry. All the best Bob
I don’t know anything about engineering but loved the video and watching craftsmanship at work.
Great video Harry - so good to see a special car like this getting the full treatment. Really looking forward to the rest of the series!
Fab update Harry.. lovely to see a couple of proper, seasoned and knowledgeable, mechanics tear down an interesting engine.. look forward to see how it all comes together... now get back to the farm!!
That took me back to working on Lancia's in the 70's, great engines and nice handling cars.
Love the more technical episodes. Cracking little engine. Wobbly real-time camera work just made it more engaging. Looking forward to part 2 in due course.
I may be off base here and I know there are a lot of seriously switched on mechanics these days - but people like these gents and the team that rebuilt the Espada feel to me to be a dying breed, so to speak. I could listen to this level of knowledge be so casually diffused, constantly. Tremendous stuff!
That engine has so many cool design features in it. It's like a miniature-supercar engine :O
Thank you Harry for another excellent video. Drove a standard Fulvia briefly back in the eighties. I was completely gobsmacked by the quality of engineering and design. A truly delightful car. I fully understand why it is so special to you. It is very sad that Lancia with such an incredible sporting and engineering pedigree could have virtually disappeared into the ether. However, I am looking forward to seeing and hearing more on your adventures with this very special car.
Thanks for the story, Fulvias are a gem.
That's a very neat looking 2000 in the background too...
Harry, always best to start a rebuild before you're stranded and forced to do it. So happy to see this little gem of a car in the hands of someone who will do it justice! Can't wait to see it completed and back on the road.
Great video Harry, what an unusual 4pot layout. Looking forward to the rebuild.
Hi Harry...no apologies required!! Was great fun to watch and good luck with the resto! Can't wait to see this wee gem all prepped and ready to go. Good luck and all the best from NZ.
What a lovely engine! Thanks for taking us along Harry. It will be great when finished.
BTW I also love that early 900 convertible on the lift. 👍
What a little gem of a motor, and such ingenious engineering. Day & White overhauled my Lancia Beta Spider gearbox and they were just as professional, knowledgeable and friendly with me as with Harry. Very highly recommended.
