When are you going to get one of these?

[Neil Lewis]

Just wondered...

Is anyone considering getting one of these (I guess in LHD form) and when?

Much too expensive for me I'm afraid

You know my tale of woe... Tsk.

Subject to the Lancia model range at the time of choosing, I'm hoping to have saved enough to trade-in the Ypsilon for a Delta in July 2010. The date's driven by the fact I can run my Ypsi in lieu of a company car until it's 5 years old. I'm hoping to get a Delta at the year-old stage, when the first owner has suffered any epic depreciation!

Mind you, if fuel prices keep rocketing, then I'll be back into the company car scheme, taking the tax hit for the company-provided fuel and choosing a diesel from VW, Ford or Renault.

I am saving the deposit now with the intention of getting one as soon as the 1.9 turbo diesel goes on sale in RHD.  I don't mind taking the hit with depreciation as I will probably keep it for more then a few years!

Ditto (blue and black) - light blue and red too pricey for an impulse purchase ...  God bless Mr Tang and all his minions .  Had plenty of stuff from him before - he's usually good.

As for the original question, the real one will be my company car just as soon as M. Francois sees fit to sell me one.  2.0 diesel, Oro spec, if I can afford it.

[fay66]

As you say, Impulse Buy Mr Tang was on a "Buy Now"; I did see someone else selling the same model but the bid had got to £4.99 with a few days to go, so it was a case of the last big spenders!
Only thing is it appears to come minus a box?
Think I've dealt with Mr Tang before as well; I also want a "Star" Fulvia Series 1 Berlina to go with my Mercury original version in Blue(kept all the boxes for them ), but at present they are a bit pricy once you've added on the P+P,  I'm waiting in the hope that a Grey version will turn up, preferably Doncaster Grey.

Fear not, the Starline Fulvia Berlina will be cheap and everywhere soon enough!  But its a 2C I think?

[fay66]

Certainly not a Normale as there are no overriders, but it could be a series 1 GT, unless it has 2c written on it anywhere it would be hard to tell, as the 2c Motif only appears on the Grille or the back panel.

Just having a look at my Mercury Model reminded me that it's actually a Normale.

I've seen it listed on various websites as a 2C.  In that cream colour, its almost a spitting image of the car that Lee Proudfoot drives - the one formerly owned by Peter and Lin Baker and campaigned on the Historic Monte (it still has the dent!).  However I imagine the casting would lend itself not only to other colours, but also to modification into other versions.

[fensaddler]

Always the risk when bidding for two of the same item on e-bay - you end up winning both.  So if anyone wants a dark red metallic version of the New Delta, I will have one to spare.  Unfortunately its got to come from China, so it won't be here in time for the AGM.  I'll check the price with postage once I get it confirmed, but its likely to be cheaper than the 'Buy it now' alternatives, and it'll be in the UK.  I'd rather sell it to a Lancisti than bung it back on e-bay, so let me know if you are interested.

I'll have it ... to go with the integrales and S4 ... I'd actually like an old shape delta too (like yours) ... if such a thing exists ... ?

[fensaddler]

There's a model of the early Delta 4WD in 1.43, in silver, which is all over e-bay, and cheap.  That's the nearest to my car - with the normal delta wings and doors.  I'd love to see a standard car modelled, but so far no joy...

See for example in silver: 120278164467, 110265619939, 370065120734 and loads of others, or in red: 110267488519

[fensaddler]

Think your wish may be granted Steve, though at a price.  See 160255611445 and 160256582057.
