Lancia Trevi Volumex in the Ardeche

[Thotos]

Some people do like their Trevis. Here's a photo of a household with 6 Trevis 



That was father, mother and son so it's two each. And I should add the son didn't even have a licence yet

Didn't Simon have 5 Mirafiori's at one time

Are they all UK Trevis Theo and if yes how old is the photo...?

Counting yours, it looks like there were at least 7 Trevis sold in the UK then....? 

I have to admit that I do like them too and when my father was replacing his 131 Sport with an Argenta the Trevi was under consideration - I think the dashboard was too off putting...

The dashboard is lovely 



I'm not sure how old is the photo of the six Trevis above; I think it's from the late 80s or early 90s.

I wonder if the original seats in the french car still are there Anyone interested in production numbers?
There are only a very few survivors of the Trevi VX left. The latest cars had white indicator lenses in the front and these items are very hard to find. I know it because I looked 1,5 years before I was at the end succesful for a left unit. I am currently rebuilding a very late VX, fully rotfree but with crash damage. For parts I also have a first series 2.0 i.e.. They look a bit weird but that is the result when you use 2 designhouses on one car.

In the same place was this S3 V12 Jag that was in good condition (Pics Below). Not so rare, but in France Very Rare. When this was new 95% of this Market in France would have bought French Renault 25 Etc, with the remaining 5% probably buying Mercedes with the occasional BMW or Audi.

I am told and have read that the Jaguar XF is a great car . However in France for 3 weeks, I never saw 1 French Registered one or any Jaguar Dealers  . A real shame for our Export Market

In 2007, when I moved to the house that has since become my long term Money Pit I had 5 131s, but now I only have three.

As you have mentioned on the thread about Lancia adverts Rob, construction has been hard hit by the global downturn and I found myself working just one day a week for the first six and a half months of 2009. To make ends meet I had to sell my Racing and the series 3 1600CL auto   I just hope one day things pick up and I can increase the size of my 131 fleet again

I also had 3 5-series back in 2007 too, an E39 528i Sport saloon, an E39 525i Sport Touring and an E60 530i SE - but now I only have two - although both are better than the cars I had in the past

Seems that if I get one model I end up with 2 and then 3 and then...... (we're talking cars right?)

Hi Simon

You seem to be quite positive about the current UK Construction Market  which is contrary to many people's opinions. Or perhaps it is just contained to the south  .

You would like to increase your 131 Fleet  .

I would like to start mine off (will happen 1 day, shortly maybe when back in the UK More).

I do pay particular interest to those postings that are linked to European (E Bay or Others) web sites advertising 131 Sports, as this is clearly the way to go . Unless someone on the Forum wants to part with their Sport
