Zagato for Sale
Posted: 11 Aug 2010, 23:24
Sorry for making some folks wait so long...I've been busy / traveling / not otherwise available & havn't had much time to even look at a 'for - sale' Z... see Viva Lancia "Cars & Parts for sale".
Since parking my "awaiting repair" Gam in "Fulvia's-Corner" some days ago, I had to move Fulvia.
I borrowed Gam's battery & re-be-came a Fulvisti.... What Fun.::o
I also took new photos. I knew I'd taken photos before...but had no idea where they were filed.
I 'd completely forgotten where a huge phulvia-photo-phile was stored....but, since I'd not looked at them nor looked for them for 5+ yrs, I forgive myself.
Old photos were required by Insurance Co's Main Office, hundreds of miles away, showing that they were not insuring a rust-heap that I-d be happy to have stolen & to collect a huge claim on.
So, I've gotten around to taking new photos, showing how Z looks in 2010 (same as in 2009).
Today, while downloading new photos on a seldom-used computer, that was not linked to another computer; a computer in tiny office (now used as stock-room for non-automotive-application mechanical parts) in seldom-visited corner of our building, I discovered file named.red car Holy Moly !!
Also files of all other vehicles insured in 05, I found dozens of Z photos, inside & outside Z.
That computer is now linked & photos can be sent to any/everyone.
So, friends who I've promised phulvia-Z-photos to...please re-email; now I can reply.
Over this last rainy cold weekend (crap for my business) I also wrote a "Car-History" of Z # 2765.
I reviewed in-detail old repair bills (long before my time) written in a foreign (to me) language.
I read the adendum to the very detailed purchase contract(s) & I read the contract(s) (plural) that I wrote prior to buying # 2675. I am still surprised, 6 years later, that the seller ever signed them !.
I had written these legal-documents to protect me, who - in 04 - knew little about Fulvia or the other cars that were.'part of the deal'. It was a good idea to write these contracts, but that is another story.
Mia & Niomi were not here to help me recall the dirty-little-stone-details of buying a Fulvia Z B)
O'er the weekend I delved into details of # 2675's past, as I never had done in past.
I tried to contact certain-persons in 1 foreign-country, to no avail..... I will not try again;.
I needed local assistance (at home) to read the 23, 24, 25 year-old-bills; bills from auto-shops contracted to perform major (& minor) tasks, by W.G., previous owner.
I discovered that I had a sort of Purchase-Contract showing how much he paid, when he paid & how he paid.
It seems to have been written on 1/2 of a schoolbook-lined smudgý sheet of note paper.
I didn't know I had so much History of Z.. I guess I didn't care, prior to last weekend.
Junk documents, alpine-tunnel-passes, fuel bills, parking tickets etc I threw away.
I added up what W.G.'s Investment in Z # 2675 was, so many yrs ago. I stopped breathing.
Thank You W.G.; you really must have loved your Z .
& now, in 2010, I am still benefiting from moneys you spent.
No, I will not bore those who reads the Fulvia Forum by posting "Car-History", as written by Johnny G.
Everyones Fulvia has a long history...not all of these histories are so traceable; but some (that I have read, am still reading, sometimes in installments & some I have been verbally been told) are a lot more interesting than my Z's Istoria & are often regrettable !!!:(
Some of my 'Car-History' information may end-up on a web-site that is in planning ( I think).
I can email that now completed,. at least up until 12 Aug 2010 "Car-History" to anyone who would, for any reason whatsoever, like to read it, even with photos even !!
I promise, I removed the bloody scenes & bad words B)
