Title: 1978 Lancia Beta Coupe 1300 pre-facelift Post by: neil-yaj396 on 04 March, 2014, 05:54:05 PM MOT til October 2014. Tax til August 2014
Im selling my Beta Coupe. It is an extremely rare pre-facelift model with the low ratio gearbox (prized by Beta racers), chrome door mirrors and rear bench seat. The car has a red/blue dealer fit part leather interior. It may be the last 1300 car of this type on the road in the UK. I do not know of another. I had intended to restore this car but came across an almost identical post-facelift 1300 model in excellent condition so bought that instead. The good stuff; 46K genuine miles, documented by MOT certificates dating back to the 1980s Front inner wings, both sills and front cross member replaced or repaired (with photographic record). All filled with Wurth cavity wax since. Rear brake callipers recently refurbished. Taxed & Tested. Drives well and starts every time first time. The not so good stuff; Some corrosion on the front scuttle around the windscreen (this was the main job left to do) and rear panel. Corrosion on the leading edge of the bonnet. OS door skin shot (can supply replacement at cost). Corrosion on bottom edge of the NS door. Door cards fitted are the facelift type and could do with replacing (can supply pre-facelift cards at cost) Paint work generally very faded/patchy. Sump gasket is leaking oil onto the exhaust (replacement gasket supplied free) Rear OS shock leaking (advisory on MOT). I have owned this car since 2007 and it has continued to fire my interest in Lancia. The car is a great drive with much more power and torque than you would expect from any 1300 engine. The gearbox and mirrors are probably worth over £300 but it would be a tragedy to break such a rare car. Why not enjoy a summers motoring then get on with the restoration! Offers on £1100.
