Yes, cheaper is harder, at least to find a 1600 HF like this one. Basically this is a “Fanalone” without big headlights but with the same engine and interiors. Apart from the stunning color – a sort of metallic bronze – the car looks ultra clean, detailed and with every part in its place. The… Read More Cheaper is harder/2: 1972 Lancia Fulvia Coupé HF 1600
