Betaboy2.0 Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Well, it was a nice weekend so a few pics of the UKs earliest surviving Beta saloon - [urlhttp][/url] NOt sure I have worked out how to post pics - so a trial of a couple before I go for it in serious style! [imghttp][/img] [imghttp][/img]
Mash Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 That truly is lovely. I have always liked these. The last one I can remember "in the wild" so to speak was a blue T-reg one I used to walk past every day on my way to school in the late 80s!
dollywobbler Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 They're so rare I'd never even noticed a difference, other than that some seem to have rear wash/wipe. That's car's in stunning condition. I can't quite bring myself to say it's beautiful, because it just isn't - but it is astonishing, which is perhaps even better. Roll on July!
catsinthewelder Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Thats lush, I wouldn't dare sit in it Is this field the shitefest venue then?
Betaboy2.0 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 S2 and S3 cars had a recessed rear window line - to improve rear visibility. Yes - this is the Shitefest field.... by then there will be Beta S1, S2 1300, S2 1600, S2 2000ES, S2 f/l 2000auto, Gamma S1 & S2 Berlina, Delta 1500 and ex-bollox Croma present from Betaboy collection. Should be a good do!
fiatdaft Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 That is stunning ^ Here is a rather rubbish pic of my last beta,a series 2 1300.
HMC Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Theres nothing that I dont like about that beta, even down to the number plates!
wuvvum Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Very early style Beta S1 switchgear I think it should be a legal requirement for all car switchgear to look like this.
fiatdaft Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Last heard of in the arbroath area with a farmer that was also a bit of a lancia hoarder,he was in the club,if you fancy trying to trace him.
SambaS Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Bloody 'eck thats a gud en! Can't wait for July's 'shitefest'
hairnet Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 i have to change my pants........................
michiel Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Very early style Beta S1 switchgear I think it should be a legal requirement for all car switchgear to look like this. Hnnng. What does the switch on the right do, blow the roof off?
Shep Shepherd Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 That is quite possibly the most stylish 1970s car I have ever seen
nigel bickle Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Absolutely lovely. makes mine look like utter pooh. Marvellous
Skizzer Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Words fail. x10. My brother-in-law ran the bodyshop at the local Lancia dealer back in the day and has a lot of love for Betas and Gammas (and a few good stories). He seldom ventures on to the mainland nowadays (from the Gower peninsula) but the prospect of a beauty such as this may well entice him along to Autoshite LIVE! in July
