1982 Lancia Trevi for ?200, Lancia Beta saloon for ?100 both complete but have been sitting in graden for many years.
Fulvia is also complete but has been sitting for 30 years or more outside
I am putting this on here for a friend as he has no internet access.
If your interested phone Joe on :   07949 188586
These cars are only really any good for spares that can be salvaged from them but he would like the cars removed complete.
The cars are located in Partridge Lane, Newdigate which is about four miles from Gatwick airport.

Any pictures of the Trevi? I'd be mainly interested in the front doors and the interior so any photos to see the condition would be appreciated.

Last time I looked at the Trevi the left door had fallen off so I don't think any of the panels will be much cop ?  If I go up there this week I will take a few pics.

So if it was in a field with the door off for years the interior is unlikely to be any good  :-\

Trevi.

Fulvia 1300s

Good screen in Trevi

Last time Trevi was on road

ouch!

Ouch indeed! Poor Trevi  :'( :'( :'(
The wheels are Cromadora CD51. I have a set of those and still planning to fit them to the 131 one day...

I remember the Trevi when he bought it in 1987-88 and it was as new and immaculate.
It was offered to me first but I had a 131 super so offered it to joe who bought it for I think ?400.
Before I offered it to Joe I offered it to my brother but his a Ford man ! and instead bought a W reg mk5 cortina GL for ?1500 !!!!!
He said  " Lancia  there rust buckets aren't they"   but I know what I would rather have and its not the dagenham dustbin he paid ?1500 for.

wrong offset for 131. lancia trevi/beta wheels have large offset, around 42 or 43mm, while for 131 you need 25 or less

I didn't find the difference to be that much. I measured the difference as 8mm and I bought some 8mm spacers but that means the hub ring will be covered by the spacer. Remember the discussion? I thought it would be wrong to mount the wheels without a protruding hub ring but I have found several cars that do not have a hub ring and the vertical forces on the wheels are taken by the bolts or studs. So I'll probably try the CD51s on the 131 but I need to get new spacers or make the centre hole on my existing spacers 1mm bigger to fit  :-\

Interesting to see the Tax Disc expire in 1990. Takes me back to when my mates and I use to frequent Chester Car Auctions (where many Px Vehicles would come form N.Wales). I remember there being some interest in 131 and 132's with reasonable prices being acheived. Nothing like clapped out Cortina's though. As for Lancia's if one of those came through (Beta's and the odd Trevi) people would run for cover. Shame. What should we be buying now to preserve before it is all too late? Answers please.

I know they wouldn't touch Lancia's at the time which explains why an x reg Trevi in as new condition was ?400 and the W reg cortina he bought was ?1500 but he never would try anything else ! ! which is a shame because the cortina was deadly dull.
Anyway heres another picture of the Trevi.

what i meant is that you need ET 25 or less to make 131 look right because it already has too narrow track compared to width of the body

Cromodora CD-51 are 34mm offset.

That's my spare old pair on eBay



That Fulvia hurts!!

I have 8mm spacers which would make them ET26? That seems about right?

yup

I should get round to fitting them. I think the CD51s will look good on the 131.

I've seen a photo of a grey 131 with these wheels fitted. I think it might have been one of kogeobo's cars in Lebanon?

I thought Bio De-gradable was a new invention  :D ;D ;)

Ashes to ashes...
