mirafioriman Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 This arrived yesterday. I have a LHD one. This is RHD and I think better, so I will probably be keeping this in place of the LHD one which I will plunder for parts! It's one owner from new, been waxed up and garaged for all of it's life. It's done 77,000 miles and is MOTd until Nov and taxed until the end of October. It even has the rare factory steel sunroof. Result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 That's gorgeous! I still don't think I've knowingly seen an Argenta in the flesh. I'm sure Mr Bol will approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirafioriman Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 It was offered to me by a man in Brentwood Essex. Had it from new, always garaged and waxed up (which is probably why it has lasted this long!) 77,000 miles from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mash Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Simply magnificent. Can we now boast the greatest collection of obscure machinery anywhere on the web?Or must we wait until someone gets a Tagora?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 WOW.. Just WOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaTom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 What a RESULT!!!! If I am to understand correctly, we have a Tredia and an Argenta in the space of a few days. This is outstanding - I am insanely jealous. I need a Tagora, and I need one now. (books tickets to Bucharest...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sounds like all the shitiest cars end in 'A' judging by that list CT.That looks great MM, well saved. I remember a brand new one in silver where I used to live, saw it out of our front window every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Sounds like all the shitiest cars end in 'A' judging by that list CT.and Arna! ....Hmm... you might be on to something there.Can't remember when I last saw an Argenta. Nice score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Bloody marvellous! Hey is your LHD one an injection? If so i'd love to relieve you of the petrol tank from it, would that be possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 What a RESULT!!!! If I am to understand correctly, we have a Tredia and an Argenta in the space of a few days.Tredia or Trevi? (I know, confusing isn't it, esp when they're both very shite & obscure! But they in no way relate to one another) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinaTom Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 The Stamford car was a Tredia for sure. I know, I came as close as I ever will do to buying this particular model of car!!! A Trevi was posted from Italy recently - I would say the chances of bagging one of those in the next few days (on a UK plate anyway) would be infintisimal. Ain't gonna happen.

MrRegieRitmo Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Oh sorry, I must have missed the Tredia, although I have been out of things the past few weeks! I thought you were referring to the Italy thread completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirafioriman Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Unfortunately the LHD one is not an injection (neither is the silver one unfortunately-I wish it was!) However, if the tank is the same then no problem. As you know I have a vested interest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Brentwood? 5 minutes away and I missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirafioriman Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 I was offered a Lancia Trevi a couple of years ago. It was not too far away and well priced, however I decided against it as it needed a lot of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milford Cubicle Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 You should have taken it and mounted the dashboard in your living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirafioriman Posted September 5, 2008 Author Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yes that dash is sensational! I was lucky enough to drive a friends Trevi over the Summer one year, but unfortunately it got sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Brilliant find, I love these early 80's rare Italian cars, this and the Alfa 6 are my favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirafioriman Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 I love the Alfa 6 too, they are very hard to find and I think my collection is big enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
