Nice looking Dedra 2.0 ie
« on: 07 February, 2018, 07:24:49 PM »
New today on e-bay. It's in Norfolk and looks nice on the couple of photos shown so far. With 54k on the clock it could be one of the best.

Looks in super condition....better than the one I had as the previous owner must have kept a pet crocodile in it judging by the state the front seats were in...always felt underpowered to me so when I had a test drive in a Dedra Turbo it had to go...still if it wasn't so far away......

"Underpowered"? compared to a turbo I suppose it would do but I found my 2.0 quick enough to be entertaining and engage in the occasional bit of mild hooliganism. If my drive wasn't full I would be sorely tempted.

I'd agree with Frank, i had 5x 2.0 injected Dedra, 1x 2.0iese manual. 2x 2.0ie  autos. 1x2.0ie. 1x2.0ls. None of which could be classed as slow, although the Autos were a bit slower than the manual models.
One nightime blast on the motorway in France heading for Strasbourg saw a illegal 124mph on the clock of the 2. 0 Iese.
The 1.6 Dedra was slower,  but certainly no slouch, and went on for mega miles.
Dedra turbos were certainly faster, but if "used" they tended to be more fragile than the normally aspirated models.

My sons who bizarrely have no interest in cars voted the Dedra Turbo the best of dad's Lancias...the 2.0 ie was preceded by a 1.6 injected Scirocco.....

Loved mine.  Weird bouncing from the rear and bits of front suspension (and drive shafts) broke but loved it.  Brakes faded as well...and electrical gremlins when it was cold...

What was REALLY special was that I could thrash it along ANY road and the passengers didn't complain.
