Have you tried your local motor factors? Payen are a well known manufacturer perhaps thery have a website? There are some manufacturers who will do one offs and short runs but I'm not sure of the cost!

           Spasso Gaskets       85 mm x1,8 = 20998/22185

www.nyssaracing.com  

There are others so call Trever at Nyssary racing

   Or have one made to fit your bore size.

than i must be very lucky!
i bought a croma turbo head gasket, fiat ricambi originali, at my local fiat parts shop for 12e last month, and couple months ago i got lancia trevi VX head gasket in another shop for 14e.
one for croma turbo is quite like regular gasket but reinforced with steel rings around pistons and trevi VX gasket is 2mm thick, made of bakelite or whatever you call that old dark brown plastic like stuff with separate steel rings for pustons. anyway, both are made to survive high compression ratios.
i cant see why on earth would a head gasket cost 130 quid??? made of titanium or what?

Maybe its special because of the larger bore size ? And this will be a motor sport gasket and not in road material.  Look up the price of a GroupA Cosworth H/gasket and that's cheaper because its ford.  GroupA Fiat Lancia ?200+

 Big boy mods need big boy parts.  ;D ;D ;) ;)

I don't suppose they have gasket sets (or even just head gaskets) for the Lancia Gamma 2.5? Spesso used to make them but they are out of stock and we have trouble getting any gaskets in the UK.
