Lancia Motor Club

For a few years now I've had a fair pile of used parts for the Beta coupe in the event that I bought one and may need some spares.
The chances of getting one now are slim to none, not that there aren't appealing projects out there but the reality is that I have enough on my hands already!
Some parts may not be useful but there must be some parts of use to the Beta owner?

Loads of parts, keep watching...

3 door glasses, a pair and an extra... Not sure which side is the extra, all appear to be a green tint. There's also a pair of the opening rear side windows in another box.

One box has a few badges and wheel centres.

I think these rubber pieces go behind the lights?

Discs, calipers, hubs etc.
Onto the shelving items, struts and more hubs.

Complete gearbox, more struts, deiveshafts, fuel filler neck etc

There's a cylinder head, complete anti roll bar, starter motor, suspension arms and goodness knows what else.
Also a pair of crusty alloys that can go.
There are door handles and all sorts, I haven't been through everything.
If anyone wants them then come take the lot and sort through at your end, a one shot deal to take the lot rather than picking through it all.
Parts are at my unit in North East Lincolnshire and I'm there most Saturdays. Message me via text 07949410351or PM me as now I've made my mind up I want them gone.

Hi Kev, if nobody else stands up and wants to take them please don't bin them! I'm still not 100% sure I've got all the parts I need for my Coupe restoration but I'm not sure when I'll be in your neck of the woods again yet! If you've still got them I'll happily make use of them and pass on whatever I don't need to the BetaBoyz!

Guy

Missed off the last couple of pics...

Yes Guy, I really don't want to bin them as there will for sure be useful parts even if not everything is ready to bolt on.
But having a set of front hubs for example to rebuild without having the car apart for ages is a good idea.
There is also a switch set somewhere, wiper/light control set or whatever they are.

Ideally I'd like them gone in the next few weeks, I know that it's not easy to find someone who wants them, that's why I've offered it all for free to tempt someone in!

I also have a pair of used front wings, and rear quarters if anyone wants them too. Not perfect items by any means having some rusty sections, but better than fresh air! Could be useful for repair scetions if nothing else.

Thanks Kev - if you had roof section from a 1300/1600 (non sunroof) car that'd be the icing on the cake!

I'll look into hiring a van for a week on Saturday if that suits you?

Cheers
Guy

Hi Guy

I can see a potential trade on the odd part coming along……

Peter

No roof sections I'm afraid!  ;D

A week on Saturday would be great for me  8)

Peter, any parts that Kevin donates that aren't of use on my restoration will be given away free to anyone else who needs them. Once I've sorted through the spare parts I'll list them on the Beta forum and maybe have a garage day here? Parts that aren't kept for spares after that can go to Mark for future use by others.

What I love about this community is the way people are willing to help fellow owners with time, parts and sources, it's largely the same with the Stratos crowd. Long may it last.

Kev, I'll drop you a text and organise a van for a week on Saturday - 8th April and try to get to you as early as possible! The search for suitable boxes begins...

Cheers all

Guy

The fact that this bunch of parts may help a few guys keep theirs going is great, exactly why I have offered them for free, hopefully they'll be useful rather than sit on my shelves gathering more dust and rust.  8)

Everything collected today, if anyone sees anything in the photos that Kev posted that you need please drop me a PM and I'll send better photos so you can assess whether it's worth collecting or the cost of postage (assuming it's not destined for my Coupe restoration!)

Great to meet Kev again, wish I could have had more time to stand and chat with everyone - next time maybe!

Guy

Likewise nice to meet, again Guy! Had forgotten about your Y10 visit!
I do hope that some parts will be of use, I know some will, but enough of them to have warranted your long drive and van hire.
But better that some parts get used than sat in my shed, and now I need to pull my finger out and get organised and stop hoarding parts 'm realistically not going to use!

Translation for everyone else - make room for another car! It was lovely to see the Flaminia, it's got lovely lines, I hope the new owner can do it justice (and get the heads off!).

I sent you a message by text last night Kev, if you find the glovebox/dash in your loft next time you're up there I'd really appreciate it if you could note the number on the back of the lock, the plastic part should have it engraved on it. It'll allow me to get a key cut (cheaply) for what I suspect will match the other locks I got from you yesterday!

Cheers
Guy
