Beta Coupe! Love those things :)

The Beta Berlina slightly less so. Looks a little frumpy to me.

top one looks suspiciously like a Lancia Beta coupe , bottom like a early Citroen GSA?

Wow, you found one that didn't rust to pieces 30 years ago!

The first one is Lancia Beta coupe and the second is Lancia Beta berlina.

In the TG Botswana Special, Jezza has one of those Beta Coupés. That's the only reason I recognise it!

No worries :)

One of the projects on my ever-growing list is to get the drivetrain from a Delta Integrale and put it into one of these little Coupes.

It's been sort of done with this car, but mine would be a little less race-bespoke-looking.

About 150 miles if you're nice to it.

It's hard to get a bead on the market as they're rather rare outside of Italy.

I've seen a few for sale though. One was £1500 in bad condition, another was £2500 in nice condition and the last was £4000 in roughly the same condition but very low miles.

mmmhh,ok ok, not too bad I suppose. Would probably have to travel to get one though from outside of Italy.

A Beta saloon! How on earth did that survive?

people seem to be amazed to see one running, I'm starting to think that it's not very common lol :]

It had a distressing habit of allowing its engine mountings to rust through and leave the engine drop onto the road, so much so that in some countries they were all bought up and crushed.

Yeah, they're definitely affordable, and if you're looking for a LHD one it'll be much easier to find than one in RHD.

Not a bad car to bring back from a road trip though :)
