    Did they all have Recaros, or was it an extra cost option?
    Excuse my VX ignorance!

    Coupe had the Recaro interior, HPE had a more normal seat but with similar material, slightly lighter shade. Not sure what the Trevi VX had Chris. The Coupe seats are notorious for wearing out as you look at them! Just sliding in and out of the seat causes them to fall apart so the condition of these supports the very low mileage on this car. Approx 15k miles!

    Also have a look in the rear aches where the brake lines are attached, they held on to muck and would rust right through into the boot on some cars. Beta Boys in the UK used to do reproduction parts, not sure if they still do, but they have a forum with lots of good info. And Lancisti.net is another good resource, as is lancia-beta.de.

    I've never seen a coupe with the recaro front seats, apparently we got the coupes that didn't sell in the UK, and none here have those seats. Nobody really seems to know for sure how many we got down here, I've heard 12 from a pretty reliable source, to up to 80 VX coupes. I don't believe the latter as I thought they only made 150 right hand drive VX coupes. 1292 made all up.

    Lancia produced 1272 Coupé VX most were left-hand drive
    (only 186 right-hand drive HPEs and around 150 RHD Coupés were imported to the UK,
    however the car was also sold in some other RHD markets so exact RHD production remains unknown)

    i found another rust under the front window!
    and some goodies are arrived an Ansa Sport silencer and Lancia Delta rims
    i found a picture like this rims on a Beta, so will do this rims on my Beta.

    That's right, 1272, not 1292, memory is not what it used to be. I've always wanted to see those wheels on a coupe. I like them.
