And finally, this unique Fulvia. A 1973 model made more "modern" by its owner in 2005. MANY details changed, and I mean, MANY! I talked quite a long time with a very passionate owner! He let me sit inside, and it's amazing how modern it feel inside. Everything was re-done. Not really my cup of tea, but an AMAZING job!!
