Hello Beta lovers ...
Last weekend I visited Bologna where I was able to admire a lot of classic cars in two days, but I left with a bitter taste because I only saw 3 betas... One white spider 1600 (S1) for 26,000 euros and two HPE 2000 (S2) betas, each asking about 12,000 euros. But I haven't seen a single beta coupe... Italians say betas are very rare even in Italy, unlike the fulvia coupe and other Lancias... it seems to me that the prices of all cars have exploded, and the same applies to model cars. In Padova, you could buy 10 models in 1:43 scale for 50 euros, that's gone. But I made a good loot in terms of models because I found 5 beta coupes at used model dealers, 4 in 1:43 scale (Minichamps beta coupe S2 FL, Hachette, Norev beta coupe S2 FL2 and Solido beta coupe S1 (about 45 years old model )) and the Holy Grail in the form of a Beta coupe S2 from Mebetoys Mattel in a scale of 1:25 (about 45 years old). I paid 180 euros for all 5... Now I have 5 small models of my car... There were also about 10 Montecarlo betas at the fair and only one Gamma berlina and one Gamma Coupe each...
Have a nice day ... Marko
