Intro

This is my first attempt at blogging.
I hope to provide information about the Lancia Beta Coupe that I am restoring.
In addition, I will post info on the Lancia Beta that hopefully will be of use to Lancisti around the world.
Fell in love with the lancia beta coupe when I was young, eventually I bought my first coupe, a metallic brown with a green and brown interior... Not the best colour scheme, but I really loved that car...

75 Beta Coupe

Drove this car everyday until 2000, when it gave up. I still have the car, but it has a lot of rust and not worth repairing.

In the meantime I owned a 76 (silver) and a 78 coupe (azzurro) and a 76 HPE. I never really liked the HPE as much as the coupe, and unfortunately the HPE ended up in the scrap heap.

A few years ago I bought a red series 3 coupe which I still own, and plan to restore.

Series 3 Beta Coupe

I must admit I still miss the older coupe, the seats were really radical, the interior straight from the seventies. Don't miss the sloppy gear change and the blocked jets in the carbie though.
The series 3 is a pretty car, but call me nostalgic, as I still love the series 2.
