Title: Hello!
Post by: James on December 04, 2011, 11:21:50 PM

Hello!

Some of you may know us already....

We are the proud new owners of not one but two Series II Beta saloons, 1x 1300 in white, 1978/T, 70k, and 1x 1600 in yellow, 1977/R 32k.

They both have one previous owner, but have not run in some time. Shouldn't be long before they are up and running we hope!!

Below are a couple of pictures to give you an idea, but better/more pics will follow

We look forward to meeting you all in due course, and are very excited about returning these cars to the road!!!

James & Lorenzo

They both look fairly tidy.  What you got planned for them?

Hello & welcome James

Did we talk about this at the NEC Classic Car Show?  You bought both from the same old gent and you were trying to sort out a fuel pump?

I look forward to seeing these on the road at one of the Lancia events - the yellow Berlina looks to be a fine old girl!

Hi all, just to keep you updated, we now have the yellow running, first time since 1993, and it's had a very quick trip to the petrol station.... still much to do but hoping it will be ready for the 40th anniversary!

Hi James
The cars look great in the metal. We'll need at least one of them for this year's Classic Car Show at the NEC, assuming we get all the space I've asked for!

Cheers
John
