New Coupe Owner from Germany
« on: August 25, 2013, 01:54:37 PM »
Hello all,

I`m Chris from Munich, Germany and since Wednesday proud owner of an 1975 Beta Coupe 1800.

Found it online 2 months after it was posted and was quite surprised it was still available.
An retired former Lancia/Fiat mechanic who owns 4 Lancia Betas sells them due to lack of space.

I bought the Coupe in Deggendorf, Lower Bavaria. The first 35 years of its life the Beta was driven by a lady in Zürich, Switzerland.

I`m sure I`ll find some helpful information here to keep the Coupe in good condition.

Cheers,
Chris

Welcome to the forum Chris, I've already said on FB that I think your car is beautiful and that your a very lucky man.

I look forward to seeing more pictures of this increasingly rare car.

Welcome,
 I've always thought yellow to be a perfect
colour for the coupe.

Hi,

Mark has gone quiet at the moment, not sure why, but the site isn't his main job i think. I'm waiting on a reply re a shock absorber gland nut. I'm going to try a phone call later this week.

I've just noticed the exhaust in this picture - I think you might have an HPE one!
