[TreviDash]

1983 Lancia Trevi 2000 auto

45,000 miles.? ?MOT July.

One of just 6 UK Trevi survivors according to DVLA figures.? On the button and ready to go.

Carburettor FIAT Twin Cam engine good, gearbox changes as it should.

Sunroof, electric windows all round, Power Steering, alloy wheels, rear seatbelts.

Check panel working, dashboard in great condition.? Seats very good with a small repair but nothing bad: all bolsters good original and unworn.

Service history Bills back to 1998, MOTs going back to 1993.? Printed entire ownership history.

Bodywork good and presentable, some bottom door bubbling and the odd scuff and touch-up, but not that bad.? Rear turrets good and unwelded.? Will need nearside sill end attention before long.

Reluctant sale due to job redundancy.? Just placed onto a SORN.

Sold this morning...

Thanks Theo, for a swift, easy sale 

Just to clear it up yes, I have two other Beta saloons: one restored and one sadly a breaker.

When a previous owner fitted the beige in 2007, I bought the blue cloth set off him as they were superb condition for a set of those - normally they are faded, perished and torn.  So the car now has its original set back, as per factory build.

The seats were moved over to the blue saloon, as the colours matched better, and the correct seats in the correct colour are now back in the car.  However, the beige seats are lumpy and the colour is variable, so I might regret the swapover....

Oh well, gone now, money into the bank.  It did go cheaply.

So did Theo buy the car then?

[Thotos]

Yes I did  As you know, my Gamma is in bits so I've been having serious Lancia withdrawal symptoms so the Trevi should fill the gap in my motoring.

Thank you Jason and especially for your patience last night in the cold wind!

......? I might regret the swapover....

You have my details if you want to swap over again!?

That's great Theo, another car to add your ever expanding (at least it seems that way) fleet . Looks like a good one at a very good price too, well done. What did the current "Mrs Theo" have to say about it, or haven't you told her yet A nice 'surprise' for her when she returns home from shopping perhaps?

Seriously, well done mate. I'm jealous. I just love the Bellini designed dash! As you know I love Italian saloons, and have always secretly hankered after a Trevi or Prisma.

un tre uno, sorry to hear of your redundancy. It's very sad that we are all being hit so hard by the current recession, caused by the greed and lack of regulation of 'the few'. At least you can be safe in the knowledge that your beloved Trevi has gone to a gentleman and true enthusiast. I very much look forward to seeing it 'in the metal' over the summer.

Congrats Theo - I did wonder were you the new owner when you posted that enigmatic smiley above! Let's have a few more photos when you get it home.

Happy to report the Trevi made the 30-odd mile home without any problems and it's now tucked away in its garage. I was so tempted to start tinkering but must do a few jobs on the 131 in preparation for 3ma09 first. Below some photos (taken with my phone so excuse the poor quality) when I got back this morning.

Good news.  I knew it would get you home.  Even for a  26-year Fiat-parts-bin Lancia this had proved t obe more reliable than my restored example, which I daren't take out much....

My job has been shaky for months, but three weeks ago the missus came home in a state as she'd been let go.  And she is the money-earner.  And the mortage is massive.  Hence the panic sale

One day, when things get better, I'll be looking out for it again   I've had my eye on that car for three years as I knew it was a good one, not just a tatty rotbox of a survivor.

Considering the scary prices being asked for 131s these days, this was a little bargain, IMHO !

All the best.
Jason

Glad to see it went to a good home. I looked at this car and considered trying to buy it when it came up for sale previously but I'm afraid funds and space are tight!
