Returning to the fold
« on: May 20, 2015, 12:54:30 PM »
Hi all,
  4 years ago or so I sold my newly restored HPE Volumex (C363 RPC where are you now?) and my motorbike to get onto the housing ladder. I've been tinkering with the idea of getting another classic, but nothing out there appeals to me as much as getting another Beta.

What will it be this time? I'm thinking a coupe, but no idea which.. that said there is a VX on ebay.. hmm!
Current:
S2FL Coupe 1600 (restoration project)

Former Lancias
HPE VX A52 VGK (parts donor)
C363 RPC (probably still sorned in cumbria with it's new owner)

Hi Chris

Hopefully someone will be along to fill you in on the HPE, but please read comments here on the VX FYI (assuming it is the one without the sunroof).

Thanks. I had a chat to the seller today and would have been interested although clearly it would have been a potential mare with the dvla. He said he had someone coming to view it today so I guess they bought it.

No rush for me to find a good car so no worries. It might even be better for future tuning to get a non vx
