Auto Italia photos shoot, looking for an early 1600 Coupe.
« on: February 05, 2023, 07:20:23 PM »
I have a request for a Lancia Beta Coupé 1600 (preferably and an earlier model if poss).

AutoItalia article a trio of 1970s coupés: Beta Coupé v FIAT 128 3P v Alfasud Sprint.

The shoot maybe at Turweston Aerodrome in Northants: https://turwestonflight.com/contact/

Ideally,  the shoot some time this month. The final date will depend on finding all three cars, and the owners’ availability. As ever, the journo will have to drive all the cars and most of the day will be spent on photography.

If anyone is interested please ley me know.
Cheers
Tony

Looks like Mark got there first. Nice example given its originality. Hope you enjoyed the day Mark?

It was good fun actually Peter.

Both the journalists and the other owners liked the car.

Sadly the Fiat had a few stage nerves so not really a full comparison on the day.
