1981 LANCIA BETA 2.0 COUPE SUPERB SORTED CAR 155 PHOTOS For Sale

1981 Lancia Beta Coupe 2. 0
An excellent example of a very rare car. Very good body and paintwork, excellent interior, very good mechanicals. Great colour combination of Ascot green, green tinted glass and grey cloth trim. Simple, no complication mechanical spec of manual five speed gearbox, no power steering, manual windows and twin choke weber carb.
Unused and stored since the late 1990s. A lot of time, care and money has just been spent re-commissioning the car, resulting in very smart well sorted Beta that runs and drives great and has a no advisory MOT expiring 09, 12, 2019. There is a link at the end of the advert text to 155 photos showing in detail all areas of the car.
It had a glass out good quality re-spray and new front wings and front panel a number of years ago. The paintwork is still very good to excellent with very few minor marks. The front of the bonnet has a small rust bubble (not through the paint) and there are two other very small areas of very slight lift under the paint, not noticeable and not needing immediate attention. The current condition of the body and paintwork proves a good quality job was done on a sound car. Brightwork, bumpers window frames etc are in good condition.
Some welding repairs have been done in the past to a good standard (mainly the lower section of the rear suspension towers and inner rear arches). The sills are original.
Recommissioning work just completed:
Structure: No welding repairs were required for the MOT. The underbody has just been cleaned and had a light coat of black waxoyl. Front inner wings etc have been treated with clear waxoyl.
Suspension/ steering/ running gear: Struts removed, shock absorbers and top mounts confirmed in good condition, struts cleaned and coated with black waxoyl. New uprated and lowered coil spring kit fitted (supplied by Mark at Betaboyz, highly recommended for Beta parts). New rear wheel bearings fitted. Rear tie bars removed cleaned and painted.

All four tyres are matching, virtually unused, good condition. All have been checked for run out, removed, wheel rims cleaned, bead sealer applied, re-fitted and balanced. Wheels are in very nice condition. The spare wheel is a Fiat steel wheel, not in great condition but would get you home.
Brakes: Discs cleaned. Calipers checked for free movement of pistons. New bleed nipples fitted. New pads fitted. Handbrake cables checked for free movement. New rear brake pipes fitted, (all other fixed brake pipes original and in good condition). New brake fluid flushed through and brakes bled. Rear calipers and handbrake cables set up (giving excellent reading on MOT brake meter).

Carb removed, stripped, ultrasonic cleaned and rebuilt. Every underbonnet hose and clip renewed, including every cooling system hose (even back to the heater inside the car), feed and return fuel hoses, air intake hoses. New thermostat fitted (expensive!). New radiator fitted.

New wiper blades fitted. All dash gauges work. Interior lights do not work.
Interior: A very nice place to be! Very good condition. Minor repair and slight evidence of cig burn to one rear seat. Driver’s door internal handle has had a not perfect but functional repair. Driver’s window winding is OK other than a bit tight just on final close. No stereo/ radio fitted, (the aerial hole in the rear wing has a rubber grommet fitted). The sunroof does not open and has been left as is. The luggage compartment has been completely re-carpeted.
