Curious HPE on Facebook
« on: December 20, 2021, 11:00:36 PM »
Hi All

Saw this photo on Club Lancia Beta page of Facebook. Looks an early one with the bumpers and lack of side rubbing strip. It does however have a curious light bezel with the main beam smaller than the dipped beam as well as later grill. Also could not make out if mirror was after market ones or through glass type of later cars

Hi Peter

I think that is a Delta Hybrid and not better for it IMHO. Fortunately those bits can be removed and did not rust on the original car.

Former Lancias
