No problem Lindsay, that's probably the best bet, hope your sale goes well.

Cheers,

Paul.

Should I say well done? Did it go to a Club member? or can we assume we might be getting a new member??

Have you decided on what the replacement will be yet?

Paul- interested to see how you got on and whether you did sell through ebay-have feeling that both my spyder and HPE Volumex (or hopefully just one) will have to go on the market shortly due to pressure fromher indoors so it would be interesting to compare notes!

She has gone to a member of the consortium, not sure if a club member but will find out when she gets collected later this week. Just polished her up she looks mega.

As for a replacement, many ideas- firstly still toying with importing a late Thesis, just awaiting some information. If this does happen then I will probably just have the one Lancia (at least in the short term).

If not I will be on the look out for a 2000HF (the car I was after 5 years ago when I picked up the VX) or a Thema 8.32, but if something else crops up and it takes my fancy who knows?

The purchaser did see the car on E-bay initially, but we agreed a satisfactory price outside the auction and thats why it was withdrawn early. I had two bidders and 68 watchers when I withdrew it about 6hrs before close of auction so who knows what might have happened.

Don't tell Ebay that or they'll be after their fee!

Hi Paul
I have a 200k km 8.32. German car originally, fully stamped book until imported into UK at around 190k around 10 years ago. Just seen your post. Sorry haven't got exact details as my son in law has all the info and is just finishing fettling it for me. He has replaced cambelts and timing belts, O rings, manifold gasket. sump gasket and I believe quite a bit more. I hope to collect it next weekend. I don't get a lot of use out of it, and although all the belts were changed only 2-3,000 kms ago, it was many years ago. I was thinking of putting it into Anglia Car Auction in Kings Lynn on 13th Nov, hence all the work, as I'm not sure it would sell very quickly without the work. If you are interested I can contact you as soon as I have it back. It won the Thema concours at the LMC in Albrighton in I think 2009. Body and interior immaculate. grey black metallic (not sure of exact colour name), black leather interior. It's a great car getting no use, but this work is going to cost me a bit. It looks like prices are on the up, which is what prompted me to do the work, but it seems difficult to put a precise value on it. Have a think if you're still interested. I don't want to give it away and we may have a very different opinion of it's value but I thought it worth contacting you. I have loads of photos I can send if you're interested.

Now Lancia less. This requires to be rectified before next years GNW at the V latest.

My HPE was collected this morning by Chas & Anne May who also own another HPE VX, a Fiat Sport Spider and an Alfa GT. Although sad I know that it is going to a good home of fellow Beta Consortium members, however not as yet LMC members.
I say as yet because I have told them how good this club is and encouraged them to become new members to which they showed a positive interest and said they would become.

Cars on my list now include first choice a 2009 low mileage (under 30,000 miles (50k km)) Thesis Jtd Emblema or Centanario which will become my everyday car assuming no issues in importing and obtaining full UK legality. This will replace my current Alfa Brera which goes back to Alfa mid January.

 Failing that, I will replace the Alfa with another vehicle on a PCH and then be looking to add either a 2000HF, Thema 8.32, Gamma Berlina or anything else (Lancia) that may take me by suprise (needs 4 seats), but all these must be in absolute tip top condition with lowish mileage, few owners and excellent service history. Don't mind travelling to find right car and 2000HF, Gamma or other may be LHD.

Crikey Derek, its a small world.  Before I got into Lancias I used to live in Colne (2000-03) on Elizabeth Way...  Lovely little village with a great pub, surrounded by an awful lot of very flat stuff.  That's the era in which I coined my net ID, hence the 'fen'.

[Derek Moore]

Hi Chris
Yes still lovely and still very flat. I've been here since 1996 in East Street, before that Bluntisham since 1980, so if you ever used any of the pubs we must have met. I've played guitar in all of them with my band Simply Dead (all old farts) so you may have suffered one of our performances. Where are you now?
