The Summer 1985 issue of Supercar Classics compared the Fulvia 1600HF and Alfa GTV, as did the July 2000 issue of Classic & Sportscar. I have related comparison articles between the Fulvia 1,6HF/1600HF and the Alpine A110, the Lotus Elan, the Renault R12 Gordini, and the Fiat 124 Abarth, as well as Alfa Junior Z vs. Fulvia Sport 1600 and Fulvia 1,3HF vs. Mini Cooper.
