My new Beta...looking forward to doing some miles in her
-
Welcome to the group! Looks like a lovely HPE!
-
Thanks Sanremo, She needs a new radiator and hoses before i do any serious miles. dont trust the originals. :(
-
Looks good - although people are going to assume you're called Stuart!
Have you got history with it? I'm think of the cambelt.
-
That does look very lovely. I had the same colour/model a few decades back, great all round car.
Enjoy

Cam belt has been done. Along with a few other bits and bobs.

Welcome Gareth!
That certainly looks amazing. It's not one I've seen before, was it
a private-type sale? Stored under cover for a while I expect.
Which county are you in?
Regards,
Nigel

Hi Nigel
Its a UK car and yes its garaged up for the last 23/24 years. so ive some recommisioning to do before i use her in anger. it drove me home just fine though ;D
I will post some more pics once shes finshed
-
Looks great!
Was on classic cars site for sale.. so isnapped her up. first Beta in over 20 years for me. ;D
-
Thats the nicest one I have seen for a long time. Dont blame you I most likely would have, but then an HPE (my preferred option) will never fit in my garage. I spent two years looking at overpriced junk. Did you get much history?

PS - I am recommissioning an Coupe from SA that seems to need everything doing to it, baring rust work, if you need any help shout. I am based in KT7
-
That's very kind of you. I think I'm good. I'm no great mechanic but hopefully I just need to pop in a new rad and pipes ect and she is good to go. I'm based in shrops. So quite a way from you.

I'd be interested where you are getting a new radiator?
-
Just as a FYI I got my radiator from https://www.coolexperts.co.uk/
-
A quick look shows just the older smaller style rad. I forget John which car you have, both my car and the ie use a larger rad I am sure. My rad is a bit beaten up but holding pressure so its on the 'one day' list. Definitely interested if you source one
-
Hi Mark
You are correct it is the early style carb engine radiator. John has a carb Spider.

I may have a spare Rad by the time ive finshed. its the larger IE VX rad. going to be a month or two though
