Oh Noes! Not another thread about a shonky Lancia? NOW with fixulated steering N stuff.

Uber rare early Beta Coupe 1300, innit.

 

I can't, but one of you really, really should.

 

OK, torch the interior.

Whimpz! Yez all be whimpz, I tells yez!

 

I have lain awake half the night trying to do the shite maths and logistics needed to buy this heap, but it really, really would be impossible for me to get away with this one.  Arse.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Well, that heap went for 1400 odd quid.  That rusty HPE Volumex went for over 1200.   

 

Talking of nutter bastid mobiles, a Fiat Croma Turbo must be a rare thing:-

[Skizzer]

That's been on for weeks (see Tat thread passim). Looks nice. Buy it quick, before it gets engine raped by the Integrale mob..

[Guest Breadvan72]

Not fer me. Too three box, square, and more doors.  I have only ever owned two cars with doors at the back.  No, three if I count the Rangey, but I am never sure whether Rangeys and Landies are to be called cars.  No saloons, ta, and only estates with two doors, or semi-invisible rear ones.     Cars with sticky out boots I generally frown upon, unless they have roofs that come off.

 

If you judge by PH, the only car that Lancia ever made was the Integrale, which to me seems a rather un-Lancialike car. 

[Guest Breadvan72]

The smally engine Betakoop is back on the Bay.

I am trying....   to.... resist.

 

Maybe I should do this instead.

What is Swedish for "my name is Douglas Bader, I come in peace"?

[Junkman]

Mitt namn är Douglas Badersson, jag kommer i fred.

 

Now go get it!

[Guest Breadvan72]

The Saab has back doors, a tosserbox, and a boot, so breaks all known BV72 rules of car.

 

On the Beta, the dude bought it last month for 1400.  I am going to be a total fucker seeking to profit from his stated need to de toy and offer him a grand, and see if he will take 1200.    NB- roooossty, but I can haz spare wings and bonnet already.

 

He is selling a P1800 as well, so could be a dealer pretending to be Sammy Skint Bloke, but I think not.    EDIT:  I think yes.

So it basically has everything a real car needs, apart from not being British.

Go for it.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Narr, for me, Sweden is only good for crispbread and Frankie Vaughan.  Italy is the other car place apart from Britain.  Sometimes France.

 

Scandi Nordic dullards and Teutons (saving your presence) are rubbish at cars.  It's all Wotan's fault, probably. Send them all over the rainbow bridge to Götterdämmerung.

UR RONG 

 

(IMHO)

[Guest Breadvan72]

I knows, but I is HATEZ German yarmouths and I is meh about Scandiheapz.  Matter of taste innit.

[Guest Breadvan72]

The P1800 is for sale "on behalf of a friend".   He wants 2K for the Beta, which is too much with rust and bad paint, but gives him 600 quid profit on the turn.  He sold another P1800 last month. Home dealer, I reckon.

[Junkman]

As much as I agree on the Teutoshite, it is my opinion that Italoshite should always be kept at arm's length.

The latter might be primarily based on traditional Austro-Italian resentments, I might admit, but wasn't Sir Tim Birkin doomed after merely touching the exhaust of a Maserati?

[Guest Breadvan72]

Brit cars are bestest, and the bestest Brit cars are styled by Italians, or copied from Italian designs.  Italy, it's just Britain with olives and pasta instead of fishpaste and rissoles.

[Junkman]

The culmination of this symbiosis was undoubtedly the Morris Ital.

[Guest Breadvan72]

WURD

[Junkman]

Did you buy that Trollmobile now?

 

You'll need this, too:

[Guest Breadvan72]

No Trollwagen for me.  My Moomin hero is Snufkin, who gets the Hell out of Dodge just as soon as ever he can and heads south.  I reckon he goes to Italy and gets loaded on cheapo Valpolicella.  

[Junkman]

I'd be seriously tempted by the voiture d'alces, if it hadn't that daft hole in the roof.

[Guest Breadvan72]

You should see the holes in the floor.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Meanwhile, back in the land of rusty Italoheaps with shonky seats and teeny tiny engines, well...

[Guest Breadvan72]

Collection tomorrow.  oops

Nah, he goes via Finland and porks my ex. 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

are you buying the 1300 Beta??

[dugong]

Collection tomorrow.  oops

 

You are about .00003 miles from my office, so you better bring it round so everyone on CCB can fart around it like crows around a bacofoil effigy of a ticking timebomb. 

[Guest Breadvan72]

Dugongatron, if that office be in that Peterborough, I be there tomorrow PM.    You can haz PM.

 

Testiculos dude, yep.  Me, I have shitfabrains, me.

[trigger]

I really don't understand half what is written in this thread.

[Guest Breadvan72]

I haven't understood a word of it so far.
