What a fabulous nostalgic episode for Harry and unexpectedly for me too. I am 53 and can personally relate to so much of this video. My dad was born in Liverpool, my parents moved to North Wales when I was 5 where I grew up, initially in Gwernymynydd (very close to Moel Fammau) and from 10 yrs old on the edge of the Denbigh moors in a village called Nantglyn. My dad was (still is) a Classic car nut so I grew up with various rebuilds, MG TA, MG TF, Rover 100, TR5, TR4A, lotus Elite, Allard L Type etc etc. My dad bought a cottage, a converted mill in Frongoch on the outskirts of Bala when I was about 18 and had many journeys via Cerrig, passed the Brenig to St Asaph Fast forward to 2023 and now I live in Chester and regularly charge into North Wales on my Kawasaki Z1000SX and enjoy the roads Harry and I enjoyed as much younger men. Thanks Harry.

I love your videos but this has to best one of the best because of the personal history. I love the fact your dad had a Dyane 6 which was quite an outré choice of car at the time. We lived in a dead end near Edinburgh with stables at the end of the road. Some nice cars passed. There was a lady with a Fulvio Zagato painted in pink! Still looked fabulous. It is interesting how our youth informs what we like in adulthood. I love the Porsche 356, my first memory being one parked near where we lived in Cambridge Massachusetts. Camping trips to France made me fall in love with French cars, particularly Citroën and Panhard. My first car at age 18 was a DS21.

A huge thank-you to this brilliant exposure of Harry's rememberings and emotions. It has reminded me how I fell in love with cars at the age of 8 (so 1967): calmly walking the short way from home to school, I was picked up by a friend of my father's in his Giulia 1300 berlina, and for a bit less than 200 m, I was fascinated by the engine sound, the beautifully low seating position, the gauges in the dashboard and the racing stance of the gear lever, low in the middle of the tunnel instead of hanging from the steering column. I suspect nobody would do what Harry has done and paid for the restoration of a Fulvia 1600 Zagato, hadn't it been such an emotional car for him. Thanks again for having shared the process with us the viewers.

As a teenager, I so, so nearly persuaded my mum to buy a new Zagato off the showroom floor at Tony Brooks Lancia garage, just outside the perimeter of Brooklands race circuit near Weybridge. In the end she bought a new "Export Mini" after the silver tongued Austin sales man told her that the export models were so important to the UK economy that they were built on a separate line from the regular mini at Longbridge to make sure they were 100% perfect!! Both the Fulvia and the Zagato are beautiful cars and definitely the ones that got away for me because I love the brand. Thanks for the memories Harry!

I have owned 8 Alfa’s so far, and even with the troubles some of them gave me, I still love them. To be accurate, my obsession with cars began when I was 9 and saw a Lamborghini Miura SV parked in the neighbors driveway. The owner gave me rides often because I was so crazy about the car, and it’s still something I recall vividly. The sound of that 12 cylinder never leaves you.

Hi Harry, growing up in Kenya, my family relocated to Northamptonshire in 1973, moving to the small village of Loddington. I remember the UK as quite a drab place, with predominantly dull British cars such as Vauxhalls, Marinas, Maxis, Fords, the odd Triumph etc but on our cue-de-sac there was a bit of glamour in the form of an orange Morgan and an orange Fulvia Zagato. My favourite car at the time was an Alfa 2000 GTV; plentiful in Kenya but rare in Northants, so the strange looking Lancia was some sort of an Alfa substitute, but I did not fully appreciate it until much later in life. But like you I have strong memories of it.

Over fifty years ago, the road into Ruthin was my favourite too Harry. You see, I was 4 or 5 years of age and I travelled along that road in my Dad's wagon - from Lancashire, to collect railway sleepers. The wagon was a much-travelled 1959 AEC, which had been stretched, an axle added, but most importantly - no engine modifications - making it slower than a three-legged tortoise. It just gave me even more time to look out of the windows at all that glorious countryside around me. Thank you for the trip along a shared memory lane.

I have vivid memories of a traffic light Grand Prix starting at beaconsfield, we were up against a Mk1 Spitfire (all of 60hp…) up the then dual carriageway to to the Ickenham turn off, we were neck and neck before we had to turn off, epically exciting to a car mad 9 year old, like the Zagato we were probably doing 50 but it felt like 150…..This or the XJ, it’s draw for me.
