It's been a fun year owning the Beta, but due to having way too many cars at present sadly some have to go! Lancia beta Coupe, 1979 1.6 Twin Cam, manual, 78,500 miles Excellent under the bonnet, very original, factory seam sealer and paint etc. The bodywork is on the whole good, but it has some typical crusty bits around the edges. The MOT has just expired and the tax is valid until the end of September '10. For the MOT it will need attention to the sills, mostly the driver's side. All other areas seem good, rear strut towers are solid, all other floor areas are good. Small areas have been welded previously, one patch on the N/S strut tower plus some work to the rear edges of the foorpans near the sills. These areas seem to be of no further concern. The interior is in excellent condition, all original and dry. All gauges and electrics are in good working order. Tyres are recent and in good condition. During our ownership it has had: New headgasket, with head pressure tested, by Italian Specialist CM Garage Services. (Over 2000 trouble free miles since this work). New timing belt New exhaust centre section replaced in stainless steel. New coil, plugs, ignition leads, oil & filters New Poly bushes up front Tracking re-aligned on a four wheel laser aligner New front brake pads Carb' rejetted, fueling and ignition set up by Weber specialist Seditas Cars New model specific floor mats Cheap at just £850. Located in Wishaw, near Glasgow.

Lets clear up car terms: "Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car. "Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car. "Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence. "Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Why am I selling? Too many cars! .....and the main reason being that I'm buying a 155 Q4 next month! (its not the only one I'll be selling too!).
Yes its perfectly reliable, my girlfriend used it mostly daily for a year. Looks just as it does in the pix.... not perfect but good.
Come and get it quick though, it'll be getting the floor welded and MOT'd soon if it doesn't go. It'll be a fair bit dearer then too!

I don't have the time to get it welded and MOT'd to be honest, so make an offer before it goes on ebay!

The top two ebay bidders were idiots.... One claiming that he didn't know it was RHD, the next said he'd bought another car and now had no money!
So it's back to being really cheap, only a few hours to go!
