1982 Lancia Beta 2000ie Coupe, Low Milage & no rust!!! SOLD

TOP TRUMP CLASSICS presents this lovely 1982 Lancia Beta Coupe, 1995 cc Petrol,
Up until a few months ago this little Lancia had spent its life in South Africa which means the body is in remarkable condition with very little rust - Not often said with reference to a Lancia Beta! Important Information - We are in the process of registering this with the DVLA but do not have the V5 currently, I'm offering the car up for sale in advance so if anybody is interested they can come and inspect/ test drive the car prior to the document arriving.
Over the last few months we have spent a fair bit of time and money on the car having the following work done:
Full vehicle inspection by well known Lancia specialist Omicron - report available
New oil pressure sender
New battery,
Replacement indicator stalk,
Drivers side door card re upholstery,
Various electrical issues sorted,
N/ S rear quarter repair - rust behind rear wheel arch
Front lower valance repair & repaint - Previously dented,
Brake service as calipers occasionally binding,

EQUIPMENT/ INTERIOR 9/ 10

The interior really is very good overall,
All 4 cloth seats are in really nice condition with barely any signs of wear,
The manual sliding sunroof works well and shows no signs of leaks,
The door cards and carpet are all looking good,
Headlining has no damage or sagging,
Dashboard has no cracks from the South African sun.

EXTERIOR 8. 5/ 10

Because the car spent its life in South Africa the bodywork is in remarkable condition for its age,
The red paint remains glossy with no real rusting to mention anywhere.
Underneath is in brilliant shape with good paint & very little rust,

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION 9/ 10

The 1995cc DOHC 4 cylinder engine starts perfectly & runs nice and smooth,
It runs very well with no knocks, bangs or plumes of smoke.
The speedo is in Km and reads 96356 (59k miles) & whilst I have no history to back this up, I have no reason to believe this isn't a true mileage. Please make you own mind up on this one,
The 5 speed manual gearbox is precise and has no nasty whines or noises,
I believe the car to be a genuine standard spec car,

WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES 8. 5/ 10

The original 14" alloys have good tires all round - Bridgestone on the rear with Hankook fronts,
Brakes are also in good condition and car pulls up straight.

History/ Documents 5/ 10

The service history is sparse but we do have phone numbers and email addresses of previous owners in South Africa. I have emailed a previous owner to try and find more out about the history but please, don't buy the car off the back of this in case it doesn't materialise.
By the looks of things it has been owned by enthusiasts as there is Lancia owners club paperwork plus copies of letters & emails between its previous owners.
Unfortunately I no service book for the car but I do have the original owners manual and wallet.
I have the South African reg document & NOVA certificate
V5 has been applied for but not yet received from DVLA (Should be early Feb at the latest according to DVLA)
The car will also have a new MOT


Summary 40/ 50
Obviously a car of this age comes with little in the way of standard equipment and it's by no means perfect condition, but equally it's not a rough or bad vehicle either. Good examples of these are becoming very hard to find & values are steadily rising,
This one is a very solid example, the only welding that I can see is the bit I have had done recently.
It's definitely the best example I have seen for years. A Great car that's ideal for an enthusiast or collector - there can't be many out there in this condition.
I have personally driven this car for around 50/ 60 miles and it really does drive well. No knocks bangs or whining,
Test drives and inspections welcome but please call to arrange this as the cars is not currently MOT'd so we would have to arrange a test drive on a private road.

It’s a Lancia. It’s a LANCIA. It’s absolutely magnificent. To start with, this car makes hen’s teeth look plentiful. At present there is only one of these in the UK and this is it. Aside from that, it is also even more unique in that it is the original car from the Paris motorshow, showcasing the then new 3.2 ...
