I own a Fulvia Berlina GT '68 wich I am restoring. I would like to know how the berlina can perform by tuning the engine and suspension. Is it out of the question due to its weight or it might be ok ?
I live in Greece, and the car can participate in historic rally events. Though i do not know if it is worth spending time and effort on it. I love it and I certainly want to try. but if someone has experience - i'd like to know

Thank you!

Bringing it back into factory specifications is more than sufficient for regularity rallies. Fulvia's were already sort of tuned cars compared to all other cars on the market. If it is in good original condition it is more than fast enough for regularity rallies where good navigation and precise driving are much more important than fast driving. Keeping the car original means it has maximum reliability. No problems with the car means you already have one hand on the first price.

I don't know if he's still active, but in the '90s Stuart Dobson in the UK used to rally his S2 Fulvia berlina
