Always amazed at how what is essentially the same car can be Fugly (saloon / hatch), Slightly Odd (Spyder), drop-dead gorgeous (HPE) and utterly bonkers (montecarlo) all in one fell swoop. If it weren't for that thin russian pig-iron this could have been the bestest car ever!!!  |

My mate had a Beta saloon - he traded a MkII Escort Harrier for it for some reason(!)... I quite liked it, much more solid than I was expecting, quite quick (2.0 twin cam) and never let him down in 9 months or so... We had a memorable time following the RAC Rally in it (back when it was a REAL rally), all over the country caked in mud ;D

There's a white Beta Spyder in the street where I live - it looked immaculate when I first saw it about a year ago, but unfortunately the rust is now breaking through the paint..... The one above looks slightly odd, but when the rear 'hood' is raised, the proportions look much better |

There’s a silver, one-owner supercharged Trevi Volumex languishing for sale at a car lot near me – its been there ever since I moved here, at least 18 months. Probably closer to 2-3 years in total…. Despite this it is still pretty smart. I made a token effort to buy it when I saw it but had to give up due to not being able to speak French at the time! I might have another crack at it when the weather warms up.

About two years ago I was on my way to a VERY important business meeting. I popped into Halfords on the way to pick up a brake light bulb for the car I was in, and spotted a TOTALLY PERFECT Beta Coupe HiFi Volumex in the car park. I was 15 minutes late because I waited for the owner to come back so I could ask him if it was for sale... Luckily for my bank balance it wasn't! "Sorry I'm late, err, umm, err traffic was bad" ;D
