Oh, did you actually do the deal on that then? Amazing!

Hammered him right down and got it for €3500 including a massive haul of new parts.
I capitalised on the fact that he desperately needed the space. :evil:
Mechanically its solid. Engine and driveline are tiptop. It drives fantastic. No issues, so exactly the kind of project I was looking for - mainly cosmetic stuff.
But there are problems with the electrics and that’s why it’s sat so long. So that will be the biggest challenge. If I can sort that first I’ll then focus on the cosmetic stuff. Otherwise I’ll flip it forward.

You've done very well there! I was following your thread with interest as I'm in process of designing a garage/workshop and one day will need something to put in it!

Love the Beta Coupe! My dad had one back in the late 70's. Powder Blue with orange velour seats and went like stink. Unfortunately when it was parked up, if you listened carefully you could hear it rusting away. I believe it went back to Lancia (it was a company car) and he ended up with a 2.0S Capri in JPS black and gold 8)

Not actually on the road yet, but very close - I've been building it with my Dad as Cobras are his dream car and I couldn't resist.
It has a 5.9L V8 so should be pretty lively!

I bet you have difficulty persuading it to go past a petrol station. :!:srhutch said:I had this delivered to me earlier in the week, XFR 5L V8 with 510BHP 107K and one owner. Will do me for a few months.
Had it MOT'd this morning and have a new ticket with no advisories.
I can at least say I have owned a V8 now![]()
